Is there a way to put NLog.config information inside of my app.config file? This way I can have one config file instead of two. It could look like this:
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8" ?> <configuration> <configSections> <section name="nlog" type="..." /> </configSections> <nlog> <targets>...</targets> <rules>...</rules> </nlog> </configuration> Please let me know if this is a duplicate.

The following types can be configured: Targets - the destinations of a logevent, e.g. file, database, console. Layout - the layout e.g. json, csv, plain-text (default) Layout renderers - the template markers, e.g. ${message}, ${exception}, ${date}
You can find the NLog. config file in {Project Folder}\bin\Debug\net5. 0\ . You can open and edit it as you like with Notepad or Visual Studio.
NLog configuration is formatted as XML and is either embedded in a Visual Studio project config file (app.config or web.config) or is a stand-alone XML file (Remember to configure File Properties: Copy If newer) To embed NLog config XML inside app.config / web.config file, add an nlog section element under configSections and add an nlog element.
See extending NLog . Missing or incorrect info? Feel free to edit the config and send a PR for the following config files: targets.json, layouts.json or layout-renderers.json
NLog is designed to swallow run-time exceptions that may result from logging. The following settings can change this behavior and/or redirect these messages. <nlog throwExceptions="true" /> - adding the throwExceptions attribute in the config file causes NLog to stop masking exceptions and pass them to the calling application instead.
NLog is a C# library used for logging. It is highly configurable, used by many projects. It supports by default various destinations for logs. I recommend using the NLog or Serilog. These two libraries are very similar and they have the most number of destinations already implemented.
Of course that you can put the configuration in your app.config file.
You just need to use the NLog.Config.ConfigSectionHandler so you need to write
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8" ?> <configuration> <configSections> <section name="nlog" type="NLog.Config.ConfigSectionHandler, NLog"/> </configSections> <nlog> <targets>...</targets> <rules>...</rules> </nlog> </configuration> as described in the NLog documentation in the Configuration file format section.
