nlog

I've got the EventLog target set up like so: <target xsi:type="EventLog" name="EventLog" layout="${longdate:universalTime=true}|${level:uppercase=true}|${logger}|${message}" source="MyApp" log="Application" /> Now, obviously not all my events will have the same ID, so I want to set event ID on a per message basis, rather than setting a static ID in the config. I believe this should work: var logger = LogManager.GetCurrentClassLogger(); var logEvent = new LogEventInfo(LogLevel.Warn, logger.Name, "Test message"); logEvent.Properties.Add("EventID", 4444); logger.Log(logEvent); ...but my events

Say you have C# trace messages all over an application. Something like: Trace.TraceInformation("Service Started"); How do you automatically log this to an nLog target without having to add code like the following to all the classes that have trace messages? using NLog; private static Logger logger = LogManager.GetCurrentClassLogger(); Is there a way to do this without including traces produced by the .NET Framework itself, which this article demonstrates how to do? This works for cases where there isn't an explicit source <system.diagnostics> <trace autoflush="true" indentsize="4"> <listeners>

I read the following posts but neither helped to just get the same efficient way of printing logs from NLog onto a RichTextBox control target as in Winforms. How can I use NLog's RichTextBox Target in WPF application? WPF: Binding RichTextBox to Logger Output I also browsed the official forum but with no success (except suggestions to read the two above posts). The idea would be to add the target as: <target xsi:type="RichTextBox" name="console" layout="${longdate:useUTC=true}|${level:uppercase=true}|${logger}::${message}" autoScroll="true" maxLines="1000000" controlName="rtbConsole" formName=

I am wondering what is the best way to use NLog with Managed Extensibility Framework (MEF)? I have an application that support plugins using MEF architecture (Import and Exports etc) I want to add logging capability to my application. As a logging component I want to use NLog. What would you recommend? 1. Create a wrapper for NLog, i.e. additional plugin that configures NLog and exports functions like void Log(string level, string message) that other plugins importing 2. Every plugin should have it is own instance of NLog configured and used. (They all would write to the same file actually).

I'm getting a little confused with how to log the generated SQL with asp.net core 2 and EntityFrameworkCore 2 and the correct way to go about it. After reading the this link from the MS docs it is saying that I should add during the services configuration in the startup.cs using .UseLoggerFactory(<LoggerFactory>) . However, this seems outdated as when I look to add the logger I get this message; Could someone please tell me the best way to add the logger to log the SQL for debug purposes? I also plan to use Nlog going forward for all my logging as opposed to the built in logging facilities, I

here is my nlog.config file. I have turned on the throwsException. <nlog xmlns="http://www.nlog-project.org/schemas/NLog.xsd" xmlns:xsi="http://www.w3.org/2001/XMLSchema-instance" throwExceptions="true"> <targets> <target type="Database" name="databaseLog" dbProvider="sqlserver" connectionstring="server=.\SQLExpress;database=Movie;integrated security=true"> <commandText> INSERT INTO [Log] ([Description] , [Level] ) VALUES (@Description, @Level ) </commandText> <parameter name="@Description" layout="${message}"/> <parameter name="@Level" layout="${level}"/> </target> </targets> <rules> <logger
