ASP.NET 4:

ASP.NET 5:

This package is an extension to NLog.

This package contains targets and layout-renderes specific to ASP.Net and IIS.

There is a special package for ASP.NET 5 / MVC 6. This is needed because HttpContext.Current isn't available in ASP.NET 5 and we can't detect if ASP.NET 4 or 5 is used.

The following parts are supported in ASP.NET 5:

• aspnet-item
• aspnet-request (except ServerVariable)
• aspnet-session
• aspnet-user-authtype
• aspnet-user-identity
• iis-site-name

Please note:

• ServerVariables are non-existing in ASP.NET 5.
• session-id will be added to ASP.NET 5 in RC2

In your nlog.config:

  <extensions>
    <!--enable NLog.Web for ASP.NET5-->
    <add assembly="NLog.Web.ASPNET5"/>
  </extensions>

In your startup.cs

        // This method gets called by the runtime. Use this method to configure the HTTP request pipeline.
        public void Configure(IApplicationBuilder app, IHostingEnvironment env, ILoggerFactory loggerFactory)
        {
            //add NLog to aspnet5
            loggerFactory.AddNLog();

            //add NLog.Web (only needed if NLog.Web.ASPNET5 is needed)
            app.AddNLogWeb();

            //configure nlog.config in your project root
            env.ConfigureNLog("nlog.config");

in project.json:

    "dependencies": {
        "NLog.Extensions.Logging": "1.0.0-rc1-final-2016-03-11",
        "NLog.Web.ASPNET5": "4.2.2"
    },

This package contains one target, one target-wrapper, multiple layout renderers and one httpmodule.

• AspNetTrace
• AspNetBufferingWrapper

See Target documentation at the NLog wiki

• ${aspnet-application} - ASP.NET Application variable.
• ${aspnet-item} - ASP.NET HttpContext item variable.
• ${aspnet-request} - ASP.NET Request variable.
• ${aspnet-session} - ASP.NET Session variable.
• ${aspnet-sessionid} - ASP.NET Session ID.
• ${aspnet-user-authtype} - ASP.NET User variable.
• ${aspnet-user-identity} - ASP.NET User variable.
• ${iis-site-name} - IIS site name.

See Layout renderers documentation at the NLog wiki

For the targets and layout renderers, no additional configuration is needed.

The NLogHttpModule needs a registration in the web.config:

<system.webServer> 
	<modules runAllManagedModulesForAllRequests="true"> 
		<add name="NLog" type="NLog.Web.NLogHttpModule, NLog.Web" />
	</modules>
</system.webServer>
