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:

  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();
      }
  }
