NLog Target for Application Insights

This is a logger for sending your NLog logs to Application Insights. It is an inofficial fork of Microsoft.ApplicationInsights.NLog with the addition of some community contributions that did not make it into the official distribution.

Installation

To use the NLog target, follow these steps:

  1. Add a reference to the hangy.NLog.Targets.ApplicationInsights NuGet package.

  2. In your NLog.config, add the assembly reference to the extension, and set up a logger using your connectionstring

    <nlog xmlns="http://www.nlog-project.org/schemas/NLog.xsd" xmlns:xsi="http://www.w3.org/2001/XMLSchema-instance">
    <extensions>
        <add assembly="hangy.NLog.Targets.ApplicationInsights" />
    </extensions>
    <targets async="true">
        <target xsi:type="ApplicationInsightsTarget" name="aiTarget">
            <connectionString>Your_ApplicationInsights_ConnectionString</connectionString> 
            <contextproperty name="threadid" layout="${threadid}" /> 
        </target>
    </targets>
    <rules>
        <logger name="*" minlevel="Trace" writeTo="aiTarget" />
    </rules>
</nlog>

Known Limitations

  1. Complex objects are flattened when written to customDimensions. #8
  2. Properties with the same name are overwritten. For example, if you have a GDC value named Name, and a log event property of the same name, the GDC value will be logged. #10

Activity Tracing

By default, the ApplicationInsightsTarget logs the trace and span information from the current. If you want to disable this behaviour, set the layout as follows:

<target xsi:type="ApplicationInsightsTarget" name="aiTarget" spanId="" traceId="">
