Integrate HubLink using NLog

Integrate wlog in your application using Nlog

Include libraries

Download Wlog client libraries and include it in your poject as reference using NuGet.

Install-Package NLog.HubLink.Clients

This will install HubLink libs and their references.

• HubLink.Clients
• NLog.HubLink.Clients

Setup NLog configuration

After that you have to change configuration settings as below:

<nlog xmlns="http://www.nlog-project.org/schemas/NLog.xsd" xmlns:xsi="http://www.w3.org/2001/XMLSchema-instance" throwExceptions="true" >
    <extensions>
      <add assembly="NLog.Wlog.Clients"/>
    </extensions>
    <targets>     
      <target xsi:type="BufferingWrapper"
          name="wlog.loggerWithBuffer"
          slidingTimeout="True"
          bufferSize="1000"
          flushTimeout="100">
        <target  xsi:type="WebTarget"  destination="http://localhost:55044/api/log"
                 ApplicationKey="{8C075ED0-45A7-495A-8E09-3A98FD6E8248}"
             layout="${longdate}|${level:uppercase=true}|${logger}|${message}"  />
      </target>
    </targets>    
    <rules>
      <logger name="wlog.loggerWithBuffer" minlevel="Info" writeTo="wlog.loggerWithBuffer"  />      
    </rules>
  </nlog>

Note that in this example we use only our target; it is useful to log also in a local file appender to avoid to lost logs in case of network issues.

Param in target:

• ApplicationKey="{8C075ED0-45A7-495A-8E09-3A98FD6E8248}" : use guid of your application; this is the guid of preconfigured sample application
• destination="http://localhost:55044/api/log": it's the url of you serve api, change according with your server

Usage

Use it as usual. All log sent to HubLink logger will be forwarded to the server. For
