Plinth.Logging.NLog

NLog logging via Plinth

1. Create a new file called NLog.config in your project root.

  • Place the XML below inside this file.
  • Right Click - Properties - Copy to Output Directory - Set to "Copy If Newer"
  • {Project}.csproj
  <ItemGroup>
    <None Update="NLog.config">
      <CopyToOutputDirectory>PreserveNewest</CopyToOutputDirectory>
    </None>
  </ItemGroup>
  • NLog.config
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8"?>
<nlog xmlns="http://www.nlog-project.org/schemas/NLog.xsd" xmlns:xsi="http://www.w3.org/2001/XMLSchema-instance"
  xsi:schemaLocation="http://www.nlog-project.org/schemas/NLog.xsd NLog.xsd" autoReload="true" throwExceptions="false" internalLogLevel="Off"
  internalLogFile="Logs/nlog-internal.log">

  
  <variable name="product" value="PRODUCT" />
  <variable name="component" value="COMPONENT" />

  
  
  -->

  
  <variable name="exceptionRootDirPrefixes" value="Plinth,YourNamespace" />

  <include file="${basedir}/NLog.Plinth.config" ignoreErrors="true" />

  <rules>
    

    
    

    
    

  </rules>

</nlog>

2. NLog.config configurations

  • Uncomment one of the logger lines unside the rules section
  • set environment to something like local, dev, prod, etc
  • set product to your product name
  • set component to the component name (like core, web, reports, etc)
  • set exceptionRootDirPrefixes to the beginning of the root path of your component (for filtering filenames in stack traces)

3a. Use this code in Program.cs

 public static class Program
 {
     public static void Main(string[] args)
     {
         var log = StaticLogManagerSetup.BasicNLogSetup();

         log.Debug("startup!");

3b. Add this to your host setup

        webBuilder.ConfigureLogging(builder => builder.AddNLog());

OR

        webBuilder.ConfigureServices(services => services.AddNLog());

3c. Add this code to your classes

using Microsoft.Extensions.Logging;

class MyClass
{
    private static readonly ILogger log = StaticLogManager.GetLogger();

OR inject via DI

public MyClass(ILogger<MyClass> logger)

4. Configuration

By default, Microsoft.* and System.* will be set to Warn and above only. To turn those on, add rules in NLog.config like this, which will enable Info and above

 <logger name="Microsoft.*" maxLevel="Debug" final="true" />

👉 NOTE: When using NLog, appsettings.json / "Logging" has no effect, it is all configured through NLog.config

5. Overrides

  • Use this to override file archiving parameters in NLog.Plinth.config

    • Create a new file called NLog.Plinth.Overrides.config in your root.
    • Place the XML below inside this file.
    • Right Click - Properties - Copy to Output Directory - Set to Copy If Newer

  • {Project}.csproj

  <ItemGroup>
    <None Update="NLog.Plinth.Overrides.config">
      <CopyToOutputDirectory>PreserveNewest</CopyToOutputDirectory>
    </None>
  </ItemGroup>
  • NLog.Plinth.Overrides.config
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8"?>
<nlog xmlns="http://www.nlog-project.org/schemas/NLog.xsd" xmlns:xsi="http://www.w3.org/2001/XMLSchema-instance"
  xsi:schemaLocation="http://www.nlog-project.org/schemas/NLog.xsd NLog.xsd" autoReload="true" throwExceptions="false" internalLogLevel="Off"
  internalLogFile="Logs\nlog-internal.log">
  
  <variable name="file.archiveAboveSize" value="10485760"/>
  <variable name="file.maxArchiveFiles" value="10"/>
  <variable name="file.enableCompression" value="true"/>

</nlog>
  • To override the file name for this config (for different environments, etc, add this above the include for NLog.Plinth.config)
  <variable name="plinthOverrideConfig" value="NLog.Plinth.Overrides.PROD.config"/>
