How to log all http calls with ASP.NET MVC

public class LogHttpRequestAttribute : ActionFilterAttribute
{
    private static Logger _logger = LogManager.GetCurrentClassLogger();

    public override void OnActionExecuting(ActionExecutingContext filterContext)
    {
        _logger.Debug("action executing");

        base.OnActionExecuting(filterContext);
    }
}

usage:

protected void Application_Start()
{
    AreaRegistration.RegisterAllAreas();
 
    // Register global filter
    GlobalFilters.Filters.Add(new LogHttpRequestAttribute ());
    

}

To log the URL, then include ${aspnet-request:serverVariable=HTTP_URL} in the NLog Target Layout. See also NLog.Web LayoutRenderers
