NLog

NuGet Package: NServiceBus.Extensions.Logging (2.x)
Target Version: NServiceBus 8.x

Usage

var config = new LoggingConfiguration();

var consoleTarget = new ColoredConsoleTarget
{
    Layout = "${level}|${logger}|${message}${onexception:${newline}${exception:format=tostring}}"
};
config.AddTarget("console", consoleTarget);
config.LoggingRules.Add(new LoggingRule("*", LogLevel.Debug, consoleTarget));

LogManager.Configuration = config;

NServiceBus.Logging.LogManager.UseFactory(new ExtensionsLoggerFactory(new NLogLoggerFactory()));

Filtering

NServiceBus can write a significant amount of information to the log. To limit this information use the filtering features of the underlying logging framework.

For example to limit log output to a specific namespace.

Here is a code configuration example for adding a Rule.

var config = new LoggingConfiguration();

var target = new ColoredConsoleTarget();
config.AddTarget("console", target);
config.LoggingRules.Add(new LoggingRule("MyNamespace.*", LogLevel.Debug, target));

LogManager.Configuration = config;

NServiceBus.Logging.LogManager.UseFactory(new ExtensionsLoggerFactory(new NLogLoggerFactory()));
