NLog Syslog is a custom target for NLog version 2.0 allowing you to send logging messages to a UNIX-style Syslog server.
To use NLog Syslog, you simply wire it up as an extension in the NLog.config file and place the NLog.Targets.Syslog.dll in the same location as the NLog.dll & NLog.config files. Then use as you would any NLog target. Below is a sample NLog.config file:
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8" ?> <nlog xmlns="http://www.nlog-project.org/schemas/NLog.xsd" xmlns:xsi="http://www.w3.org/2001/XMLSchema-instance"> <extensions> <add assembly="NLog.Targets.Syslog" /> </extensions> <targets> <target name="syslog" type="Syslog" syslogserver="" port="" facility=""/> </targets> <rules> <logger name="*" minLevel="Trace" appendTo="syslog"/> </rules> </nlog>
