LowLevelDesign.NLog.Ext and ETW targets for NLog

CodeProject,

I really like the NLog library and I use it pretty often in my projects. Some time ago I wrote a post in which I showed you my preferred debug and production configuration. Other day I presented you a simple layout renderer for assembly versions. Today, I would like to inform you that all those goodies 😉 are available in my brand new LowLevelDesign.NLog.Ext Nuget package.

Additionally, you may find in it two ETW NLog targets. ETW (Event Tracing for Windows) is a very effective way of logging and its support in kernel makes it a great choice for verbose/trace/debug logs. Moreover, if you are using Windows Performance Toolkit in your performance analysis, providing your own ETW messages will help you correlate system events with methods in your application. ETW infrastructure is highly customizable (check Semantic Logging Application Block to see how your logs might look like and how they might be consumed:)).

Checking the examples should usually allay your fears but it will still take you some time to get along with NLog’s syntax and configuration. I will try to make the learning curve less steep by providing you with configuration options that are currently working in my projects. If you are new to NLog I recommend you to have a look at its tutorial before reading on.
