How can I implement advanced logging with NLog in C#?

To implement advanced logging with NLog in C#, you can configure different log levels, targets, and layouts in your NLog.config file. Would you like to see a sample configuration?

Yes, please provide a sample NLog.config file.

Here's a basic example of an NLog.config file:

<nlog>
  <targets>
    <target xsi:type="File" name="fileTarget" fileName="logs/app.log" layout="${longdate}|${level:uppercase=true}|${logger}|${message}" />
  </targets>
  <rules>
    <logger name="*" minlevel="Debug" writeTo="fileTarget" />
  </rules>
</nlog>

This configuration logs all messages at the Debug level and above to a file.

How can I log exceptions using NLog?

You can log exceptions by using the Logger.Error method. For example:

try
{
    // Your code here
}
catch (Exception ex)
{
    logger.Error(ex, "An error occurred");
}

This will log the exception details along with your custom message.

Can I log to multiple targets?

Yes, you can log to multiple targets by defining them in your NLog.config and specifying them in the rules. Would you like an example?
