How can I log messages to a database using NLog?

You can log messages to a database using NLog by configuring a database target in your NLog configuration file.

You'll need to specify the database connection string, the target type as 'Database', and the SQL command for inserting logs.

Can you provide an example of the configuration?

Sure! Here's a basic example:

<nlog>
  <targets>
    <target xsi:type="Database" name="databaseTarget" connectionString="YourConnectionString">
      <parameter name="@message" layout="${message}" />
      <parameter name="@level" layout="${level}" />
    </target>
  </targets>
  <rules>
    <logger name="*" minlevel="Debug" writeTo="databaseTarget" />
  </rules>
</nlog>
