Example of Setting Up Logging (for Example NLog) with Add-In Project

[Gurunara]

Is there example of Setting Up Logging (for Example NLog) with Add-In Project?

[Gurunara]

using nlog.config (at root level):

<?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8" ?>

<!-- XSD manual extracted from package NLog.Schema: https://www.nuget.org/packages/NLog.Schema-->

<nlog xmlns="http://www.nlog-project.org/schemas/NLog.xsd" xsi:schemaLocation="NLog NLog.xsd"

      xmlns:xsi="http://www.w3.org/2001/XMLSchema-instance"

      autoReload="true"

      internalLogFile="c:\\logs\\console-example-internal.log"

      internalLogLevel="Info">

<!-- the targets to write to -->

<targets>

<!-- write logs to the files -->

<target xsi:type="File" name="all_logs_file" fileName="c:\\logs\\all.log"/>

<target xsi:type="File" name="important_logs_file" fileName="c:\\logs\\important.log"/>

<!-- write logs to the console-->

<target xsi:type="ColoredConsole" name="logconsole" />

</targets>

<!-- rules to map from logger name to target -->

<rules>

<logger name="*" minlevel="Trace" writeTo="logconsole" />

<logger name="*" minlevel="Debug" writeTo="all_logs_file" />

<logger name="*" minlevel="Warn" writeTo="important_logs_file" />

</rules>

</nlog>

and from constructor of viewmodel:

private static Logger logger = LogManager.GetCurrentClassLogger();

logger.Info("Some message");

but nothing gets output to the log directory c:\\logs\\

Used log4net.

private static readonly log4net.ILog logger = log4net.LogManager.GetLogger(typeof(T));

log4net.Config.XmlConfigurator.Configure(new FileInfo("logger.config"));

logger.Debug("Test");

logger.config (eg): property "Copy Always" for this file has to be set, so it gets copied to bin build folder (wonder how this will get bundled with the esriAddinX file...)

<log4net>

<appender name="Console" type="log4net.Appender.ConsoleAppender">

<layout type="log4net.Layout.PatternLayout">

<!-- Pattern to output the caller's file name and line number -->

<conversionPattern value="%5level [%thread] (%file:%line) - %message%newline" />

</layout>

</appender>

<appender name="RollingFile" type="log4net.Appender.RollingFileAppender">

<!--<file type="log4net.Util.PatternString" value="c:\log\logname-%utcdate{yyyy-MM-dd-HH-mm-ss}.log" />-->

<file value="c:\log\EGIS.ALM.Pro.SourceNode.log" />

<appendToFile value="true" />

<rollingStyle value="Size" />

<maximumFileSize value="10000KB" />

<maxSizeRollBackups value="20" />

<layout type="log4net.Layout.PatternLayout">

<conversionPattern value="%date [%-4thread] %-5level %logger - %message%newline"/>

<!--<conversionPattern value="%date [%-4thread] %-5level %logger{1} - %message%newline"/>-->

</layout>

</appender>

<root>

<level value="DEBUG" />

<level value="WARN" />

<level value="INFO" />

<appender-ref ref="Console" />

<appender-ref ref="RollingFile" />

</root>

</log4net>

configured for each class library... however can put the static initializations into a class and call the class method.
