Fix run as service introduced by and logging initialization vs configuration order

[ramonsmits]

Fixes #2031
Fixes #2002
Fixes #2017

User reported in #2031 that windows service control manager behaved strangely. Testing this indicated it was not run as a service resulting in this strange behavior. While fixing this I noticed that logging was initialized early while 'the print to console' setting was set after logging was already initialized.

@ramonsmits unfortunately this probably requires a rebase now

Hey @ramonsmits ,

Any updates on this? is this still on the radar for your team?

Thank you!

@TraGicCode We have reverted the behavior of the hosting and logging at the last related change broke hosting and logging. We provided a workaround to log to console by providing an NLog.config. Due to that, this specific enhancement gets a lower priority but we will eventually address it.

Hi, @TraGicCode I'm trying to figure out what is the scenario that you need the custom nlog.config. Could you share a bit more about when is it that ServiceControl doesn't log to the console and custom configuration is needed?

Hey @tmasternak ,

sorry for getting back to you so late. My puppet module for servicecontrol has a task that allows someone to automatically re-import failed audit and error messages. Unfortunately servicecontrol was logging but not logging to stdout which is what puppet uses to display output back to the user. @ramonsmits revommended above I needed to customize nlog for this to happen. Do you know if this is still required?

Hi @TraGicCode,

In the latest version, ServiceControl logs to the console when executing an error or audit messages re-import.

Hey @tmasternak ,

Let me test this and get back with my results.

Hey @tmasternak ,

Everything appears to be working fine for me. Thanks!

[tmasternak]

Glad to hear that :). Thank you for verification @TraGicCode.
