Welcome to the NLog documentation! Just start with one of the tutorials to log messages within minutes!

NLog supports the .NET Frameworks 3.5 - 4.8 along with ASP.NET Core using Microsoft dependency injection. See the getting started pages.

For structured logging, introduced in NLog 4.5, see How to use structured logging

There are many available output options:

• NLog Targets - Output destinations
• NLog Layout-Renderers - Output details
• NLog Layouts - Output formats

Are you missing some targets or layouts in NLog? Check extending NLog or even better, contribute to NLog!
