Gelf4NLog is an NLog target implementation to push log messages to GrayLog2. It implements the Gelf specification and communicates with GrayLog server via UDP.
Solution is comprised of 3 projects: Target is the actual NLog target implementation, UnitTest contains the unit tests for the NLog target, and ConsoleRunner is a simple console project created in order to demonstrate the library usage.
Use Nuget:
PM> Install-Package Gelf4NLog.Target
Here is a sample nlog configuration snippet:
<configSections>
<section name="nlog" type="NLog.Config.ConfigSectionHandler, NLog" />
</configSections>
<nlog xmlns="https://www.nlog-project.org/schemas/NLog.xsd"
xmlns:xsi="https://www.w3.org/2001/XMLSchema-instance">
<extensions>
<add assembly="Gelf4NLog.Target"/>
</extensions>
<targets>
<!-- Other targets (e.g. console) -->
<target name="graylog"
xsi:type="graylog"
hostip="192.168.1.7"
hostport="12201"
facility="console-runner"
/>
</targets>
<rules>
<logger name="*" minlevel="Debug" writeTo="graylog" />
</rules>
</nlog>
Options are the following:
- name: arbitrary name given to the target
- type: set this to "graylog"
- hostip: IP address of the GrayLog2 server
- hostport: Port number that GrayLog2 server is listening on
- facility: The graylog2 facility to send log messages
###Code
//excerpt from ConsoleRunner
var eventInfo = new LogEventInfo
{
Message = comic.Title,
Level = LogLevel.Info,
};
eventInfo.Properties.Add("Publisher", comic.Publisher);
eventInfo.Properties.Add("ReleaseDate", comic.ReleaseDate);
Logger.Log(eventInfo);
