How to get the Stack trace when logging exceptions with NLog?

Question

When I use the default layout with NLog it only prints the name of the exception. I\'ve been told that the log4jxmlevent layout doesn\'t prints nothing about the exception.

Answer 1

As of NLog 4.5 you can now use:

logger.Error(exception, message);

and layout as follows:

"${longdate} ${level} ${message} ${exception:format=@}"

The @ means serialize all Exception-properties into Json-format
