Renders name of the Logger that produced the LogEvent. The Logger name is assigned when it is created using NLog.LogManager.GetLogger("myLoggerName") or NLog.LogManger.GetCurrentClassLogger() (capture class-type-name as Logger-name)

The Logger-name is often used to describe the source-location where the LogEvent was produced. The NLog Logging-Rules are optimized for doing filtering / redirection of LogEvents based on the Logger-name. It is not recommended to generate Logger-name from Guid or Timestamp, as it can lead to memory-leak with huge Logger-cache.
