Installing ELMAH for simple error logging

Finding a logging lib for your .Net MVC project like me? I was thinking log4net is the choice I will be after. Yet, someone point ELMAH to me, and after reading what it could do and how easily it could be setup, I know this is the .Net MVC logger I will use for all my future projects.

Some feature Highlights:

• Logging of nearly all unhandled exceptions.
• Easy to setup, just drop 2 files and add a few lines in web.config
• A web page to remotely view the entire log of recoded exceptions.
• A web page to remotely view the full details of any one logged exception, including colored stack traces.
• In many cases, you can review the original yellow screen of death that ASP.NET generated for a given exception, even with customErrorsmode turned off.
• An e-mail notification of each error at the time it occurs.
• An RSS feed of the last 15 errors from the log.
• Get a digest RSS feed that lists errors by day and up to last 15 days.
• Download the whole error log into a single CSV file for analysis, filtering and charting using Microsoft Excel or Microsoft Log Parser.
• Send error notifications as tweets to Twitter.
• Filter unwanted exceptions, programmatically and via configuration.
• Log errors to several back-end storages:
• Microsoft SQL Server
• Oracle (OracleErrorLog)
• SQLite (version 3) database file
• Microsoft Access (AccessErrorLog)
• VistaDB (VistaDBErrorLog); deprecated in release 1.2
• Loose XML files
• RAM (in-memory)
• SQL Server Compact Edition
• MySQL
• PostgreSQL
