Alyio.NLog.Extensions.Logging

Alyio.NLog.Extensions.Logging provider for Microsoft.Extensions.Logging. It's based on NLog, and extends two layout renderers trace_identifier and user_identity_name.

The layout render trace_identifier gets the trace identifier of the current HTTP context (i.e. HttpContext.TraceIdentifier), and the layout render user_identity_name gets the name of the current HTTP context user identity (i.e. HttpContext.User.Identity.Name).

To use NLog provider, call the provider's AddNLog extension method in Program.cs:

  • ASP.NET Core 2.x

    using Alyio.NLog.Extensions.Logging;
using Microsoft.AspNetCore;
using Microsoft.AspNetCore.Hosting;

namespace WebApplication1
{
    public class Program
    {
        public static void Main(string[] args)
        {
            BuildWebHost(args).Run();
        }

        public static IWebHost BuildWebHost(string[] args) =>
            WebHost.CreateDefaultBuilder(args)
                .ConfigureLogging(configureLogging =>
                {
                    configureLogging.AddNLog();
                })
                .UseStartup<Startup>()
                .Build();
    }
}

  • ASP.NET Core 3.x

    using Alyio.NLog.Extensions.Logging;
using Microsoft.AspNetCore.Hosting;
using Microsoft.Extensions.Hosting;

namespace WebApplication1
{
    public class Program
    {
        public static void Main(string[] args)
        {
            CreateHostBuilder(args).Build().Run();
        }

        public static IHostBuilder CreateHostBuilder(string[] args) =>
            Host.CreateDefaultBuilder(args)
                .ConfigureLogging(builder => builder.AddNLog())
                .ConfigureWebHostDefaults(webBuilder =>
                {
                    webBuilder.UseStartup<Startup>();
                });
    }
}
