Hot Swap Logger?

Basic Demo

Using Akka as transport

Logger Configuration

var loggerFactory = new LoggerFactory()
    .AddConsole()
    .AddFileAppender(path: "./log.txt")
    .AddSqlServer(connectionString: "your connection string");

var logger = loggerFactory.CreateLogger();

Watching and loading providers

var watcher = new FileSystemWatcherWrapper();
var loader = new AssemblyLoaderWrapper();
var providerWatcher = new LoggerProviderWatcher(watcher, loader);

providerWatcher.Start(loggerFactory, pathToWatch);

Provider assemblies must implement HotSwapLogger.ILoader interface

Running the ConsoleApp sample

ConsoleApp.exe --pathToWatch C:\providers

Copy the provider DLL to the watched path, make sure to include a JSON file wih the settings required by the provider, if any.
