You can access log configuration by using XLog.Log.Config which contains :

• Config.LogDirectory : default value "C:"

• ApplicationName : default value month date with the following format "MM yyyy"

• MaxFileSize : default value 1,000 KB

• FileName : default value date with the following format "dd MM yyyy.html"

• Log file path
  "{Config.LogDirectory}{Config.ApplicationName}{fileName}.html"

• LogDirectory, ApplicationName and FileName should be a valid system file name, can't contains "/:*?"<>|"

Configuration and Instance

• XTinyLog.XLog is a singleton and factory for log instance, if you have multiple instance or different log configuration , you can use a specific instance as

        XLog specialLogInstance = XLog.Create();
        specialLogInstance.Config.LogDirectory = @"D:" ;
        specialLogInstance.Info("Log file to d drive !!");

• Custom Configuration , usefull if you need to custom log file name

	// Using custom default log 
	XLog customLogInstance = XLog.Create((config) =>
	{
		config.FileName = () => $"log_{DateTime.Now:dd MM yy}";
		config.ApplicationName = Assembly.GetExecutingAssembly().GetName().Name;
		config.LogDirectory = @"D:\new log";
	});

	customLogInstance.Info("Log file to d drive !!");

	// Using default log 
	XLog.Log.Info("Log Info");
	XLog.Log.Debug("Log Debug");
	XLog.Log.Error("Log Error");
	XLog.Log.Error(new NotImplementedException());
	XLog.Log.Warn("Log Warning");
