How do I migrate from log4net to NLog?

I'm looking to migrate my logging from log4net to NLog. What are the first steps?

To start migrating from log4net to NLog, first, you need to install the NLog package via NuGet in your project.

What configuration changes do I need to make in my appsettings?

You'll need to create an NLog.config file or modify your appsettings.json to include NLog settings, specifying targets and rules.

Can I use the same logging levels as in log4net?

Yes, NLog supports similar logging levels like Trace, Debug, Info, Warn, Error, and Fatal, so you can map them directly.

Are there any common pitfalls I should be aware of during the migration?

Common pitfalls include not properly configuring targets and forgetting to remove log4net references, which can cause conflicts.
