Plugin for NLog

Logify Alert provides you with a plugin that allows integrating Logify reports with NLog logs.

Install the Plugin

To add the plugin to the application's code, follow the steps below.

1. Select Tools | NuGet Package Manager | Package Manager Console from the Visual Studio main menu.

2. Execute the command below.

   Install-Package Logify.Alert.NLog

3. Execute the command below.

   WinForms applications: Install-Package Logify.Alert.Win

   Web applications: Install-Package Logify.Alert.Web

   WPF applications: Install-Package Logify.Alert.Wpf

   Console applications: Install-Package Logify.Alert.Console

Set Up the Plugin

Set up the plugin according to your target platform. The App.config example below demonstrates how to set up the plugin for a WinForms application.

<configuration>
    <configSections>
        <section name="logifyAlert" type="DevExpress.Logify.LogifyConfigSection, Logify.Alert.Win" />
    </configSections>
    <logifyAlert>
        <apiKey value="SPECIFY_YOUR_API_KEY_HERE" />
        <confirmSend value="false" />
        <customData>
            <add key="MACHINE_NAME" value="My Server" />
        </customData>
    </logifyAlert>
</configuration>

Register a Target

Register the LogifyAlert target as a custom NLog target in the NLog.config configuration file as follows.

<nlog xmlns="http://www.nlog-project.org/schemas/NLog.xsd" xmlns:xsi="http://www.w3.org/2001/XMLSchema-instance">
    <extensions>
        <add assembly="Logify.Alert.NLog" />
    </extensions>
    <targets>
        <target name="logifyAlert" xsi:type="LogifyAlert" />
    </targets>
    <rules>
        <logger name="*" minlevel="Trace" writeTo="logifyAlert" />
    </rules>
</nlog>

Initialize the Client

Add the following code to your application's code. The example below demonstrates how to set up the plugin for a WinForms application.

Now, each time your application sends an Error message with non-empty LogEvent.Exception parameter to the NLog system, a new report is generated and sent to Logify Alert. For example:

logger.Error(new Exception("Test Logify exception"), "Test message");
