The following steps are taken from the above link, and break down how to add log4net to a .NET Core 2.2 project.

First, run the following command in the Package-Manager console:

Install-Package Log4Net_Logging -Version 1.0.0

Then add a log4net.config with the following information (please edit it to match your set up):

Then, add the following code into a controller (this is an example, please edit it before adding it to your controller):

public ValuesController()
{
    LogFourNet.SetUp(Assembly.GetEntryAssembly(), "log4net.config");
}
// GET api/values
[HttpGet]
public ActionResult> Get()
{
    LogFourNet.Info(this, "This is Info logging");
    LogFourNet.Debug(this, "This is Debug logging");
    LogFourNet.Error(this, "This is Error logging");    
    return new string[] { "value1", "value2" };
}

Then call the relevant controller action (using the above example, call /Values/Get with an HTTP GET), and you will receive the output matching the following:
