Should I inherit the class logger when using NLog?
You should use a new one. LogManager.GetCurrentClassLogger creates a logger whose name is the current class. If you use the parent's class logger, you lose the information of the class doing the logging, it would appear as if the logging was done by the parent class. Most of the time,...
How to set a fault tolerante channel between nlog and nxlog?
I took b0ti's suggestion and came up with: var file = new FileTarget { FileName = @"C:\Logs\file.log", ArchiveFileName = @"C:\Logs\file.{#}.log", ArchiveEvery = FileArchivePeriod.Minute, ArchiveAboveSize = 2 * 1024 * 1024, // 2MB. ArchiveNumbering = ArchiveNumberingMode.Sequence, MaxArchiveFiles = 60, }; Nxlog watches only the archived file: C:\Logs\file.{#}.log Nlog will add a...

Using NLog with ModernUI on Windows 8.1
System.Collections.CollectionBase is not a supported namespace in WinRT: http://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/library/windows/apps/hh454064.aspx There are a couple of solutions, neither of which I've used so I can't personally recommend, but you can try out: 1) https://code.msdn.microsoft.com/Logging-Sample-for-Windows-0b9dffd7 2) https://github.com/mbrit/MetroLog...
Add NLog provider to ILoggerFactory
dependency-injection,nlog,asp.net-5
There's a logging sample in the ASP.NET GitHub repo that shows how to use NLog: https://github.com/aspnet/Logging/tree/dev/samples/SampleApp The sample uses a sample NLog logging adapter from here: https://github.com/aspnet/Logging/tree/dev/src/Microsoft.Framework.Logging.NLog Here's the project.json file from the app: https://github.com/aspnet/Logging/blob/dev/samples/SampleApp/project.json { "dependencies": { "Microsoft.Framework.Logging": "1.0.0-*", "Microsoft.Framework.Logging.Console": "1.0.0-*" }, "frameworks": { "aspnet50": {...
Wrapping Logging Frameworks
.net,logging,log4net,enterprise-library,nlog
By using a wrapper around your different logging frameworks you will only using the common functions of the logging frameworks. Each logging framework has its strong and weak points, in most cases you should choose the logging framework based on the requirements for logging and look at those points.
Nlog ${event-context:item=xxxx} not writing in logging database
As it turned out, it was a bug (or a feature) in NLog. When writing to a 'target' in NLog asynchronously the original LogEventInfo that is written is added to the Parameters collection of a new LogEventInfo, thus the Properties collection where the {event-context} gets its values from is empty...
Writing to .config files
asp.net-mvc,web-config,configuration-files,nlog
You can change settings programmatically in NLog, but you can't serialize those settings to the XML, yet. What you can do: Save the setting to the <appSettings> when changed read the <appSettings> when needed. eg using System.Web.Configuration; using System.Configuration; Configuration config = WebConfigurationManager.OpenWebConfiguration("/"); config.AppSettings.Settings["NlogConnectionString"].Value = "NewValue"; config.Save(ConfigurationSaveMode.Modified); Edit the connectionstring...

NLog and Common.Logging nightmare
Okay, so after all the fixes above I had to also update the Common.Logging package to v2.2.0.0 and then update the binding redirects manually. This is really a sub-optimal deployment of the Common.Logging.NLog20 nuget package. You shouldn't have to do this.
Nlog 3.1 with Castle Windsor not logging
You need to put the Logger property to every class where you want to log something and the instances of the class has to be created/managed by Windsor. So you need to add it to your controller: public class MyController : Controller { private ILogger logger = NullLogger.Instance; public ILogger...

Most likely you made some error in your nlog.config but ... Please check if the NLog.dll versions you are using are the same (so, the version you build your MyLibrary.dll with and your WebFormsProject). Mind that as of NLog version 3.0, the support for dotnetfx20 has been dropped. dotnetfx35 is...
.NET Object creation causing memory spike and doesn't go away
.net,performance,memory-management,memory-leaks,nlog
Do I need to add IDisposable to all these poco classes so they are removed right away?

How to mark exception as logged (and log it only once)?
c#,.net,exception-handling,nlog
Only catch it once. It doesn't matter how far up the call stack that is: the Stack Trace will be accurate. It's when you catch and rethrow and catch again that the Stack Trace gets changed. Catch it once, log it, handle it as you can and then don't throw...
NLog use in MVC applicaiton
Since you've already captured the error and you can't show the requested page, you could redirect within the catch to your error page: catch (Exception e) { logger.Error("Error in Index: " + e); return RedirectToAction("Index", "Error"); // Redirect to error controller or page } Alternatively, and probably more appropriate, you...
logging to oracle with nLog
asp.net-mvc,database,logging,odp.net,nlog
I solved this problem. The reason was wrong default value of commandType. By the unknown reason, initial value of commandType was assigned as 0, despite its default value is 1(COMMANDTYPE.TEXT) by the code(https://github.com/NLog/NLog/blob/master/src/NLog/Targets/DatabaseTarget.cs) Anyway I modified my configuration to set the commandType as 'Text'. And it works fine now. <target...
NLog - disable a specific logger
Adding final="true" to the class will tell it to stop running thru the rest of the rules when that one is hit. Because of this, the order in which you define the rules may be important as well in case you wanted more then one rule to hit but not...
UIImageView image not returning nil but image not showing
uiimageview,uiimage,nsurl,nlog,nil
It must be that you didn't create the image view when the first time you access the view of UIViewController. Note that self.view will trigger viewDidLoad method if it is nil, but then the imageView is nil. So you'b better create the imageView in viewDidLoad method.
nlog renderer for types other than the Layout (for target attributes)
I resolve this issue using custom Target derived from MailTarget: [Target("MyMail")] class MyMailTarget : MailTarget { /// <summary> /// Wrapper for enum to use placeholders /// </summary> [DefaultValue("None")] public Layout SmtpAuth { get; set; } protected override void Write(NLog.Common.AsyncLogEventInfo logEvent) { Write(new[] {logEvent}); } protected override void Write(NLog.Common.AsyncLogEventInfo[] logEvents) {...
NLog breaks when using operator '<'
Am I missing something? Yup, you're not taking into account that this is XML, where < needs to be escaped. You want: <logger name="*" minlevel="Trace" writeTo="logFile"> <filters> <when condition="contains('${logger}','Domain.Messaging.') and level < LogLevel.Warn" action="Ignore" /> </filters> </logger> From section 2.4 of the XML 1.0 specification: The ampersand character (&)...
How to configure NLog (Servicestack) for Multiple files
You should be able to simply use ${threadid} (or if you name your threads, ${threadname}) in the filename layout.

Using NLog with multiple app instances

Nlog file not writing
Check whether your process has write access to the ${basedir} location. Also, if your application is running from a special folder, make sure the process is running elevated.
NLog try another target when main target failed to log
Ok, I found out how to do it. The key is to use FallbackGroup as type of a target, and place the targets in correct order inside. Example: <target xsi:type="FallbackGroup" name="f" returnToFirstOnSuccess="true"> <target xsi:type="File" name="f" fileName="${basedir}/logs/${processname}-${shortdate}.log" layout="${longdate} ${uppercase:${level}} ${message}" /> <target xsi:type="EventLog" name="eventLog" layout="${longdate} ${uppercase:${level}} ${message}" source="MySource" log="Application" /> </target>...

What's the meaning of the time stamp in nlog when async is on?
c#,.net,timestamp,performance-testing,nlog
According to the NLog source: https://github.com/NLog/NLog/blob/master/src/NLog/Logger.cs the LogEventInfo objectc is created at the time of the logging call (and is timestamped at that point). The writing of the LogEventInfo object is then written, asynchronously, to the appropriate target(s). So, the timestamp in the logfile should represent the timestamp of...
