Home - NLog/NLog.Extensions.Logging GitHub Wiki

Welcome

• NLog.Extensions.Logging - Provides AddNLog() to register NLog as LoggingProvider for Microsoft.Extension.Logging. And supports NLog config in appsettings.json.
• NLog.Extensions.Hosting - Provides UseNLog() to register NLog as LoggingProvider for Microsoft.Extension.Hosting. If running ASP.NET Core, then it is recommended to instead use NLog.Web.AspNetCore-nuget-package.

Microsoft Logging and NLog Logging

• NLog GetCurrentClassLogger and Microsoft ILogger
• NLog properties with Microsoft Extension Logging
• How to use structured logging
• NLog configuration with appsettings.json
• NLog Console vs AddConsole

Note if just wanting to use NLog on .NET Core without Microsoft ILogger-abstraction, then just use the standard NLog-nuget-package.
