Configure NLog

var loggerFactory = serviceProvider.GetService<ILoggerFactory>();
loggerFactory.AddNLog();
loggerFactory.ConfigureNLog("nlog.config");

Create a Logger and Log Something

logger = serviceProvider.GetService<ILoggerFactory>()
    .CreateLogger<Program>();

logger.LogInformation("Hello World!");
