Methods

	Name	Description
	CreateNullLogger	Creates a logger that discards all log messages.
	Dispose	Performs application-defined tasks associated with freeing, releasing, or resetting unmanaged resources.
	Dispose(Boolean)	Releases unmanaged and - optionally - managed resources.
	Flush	Flush any pending log messages (in case of asynchronous targets) with the default timeout of 15 seconds.
	Flush(AsyncContinuation)	Flush any pending log messages (in case of asynchronous targets).
	Flush(Int32)	Flush any pending log messages (in case of asynchronous targets).
	Flush(TimeSpan)	Flush any pending log messages (in case of asynchronous targets).
	Flush(AsyncContinuation, Int32)	Flush any pending log messages (in case of asynchronous targets).
	Flush(AsyncContinuation, TimeSpan)	Flush any pending log messages (in case of asynchronous targets).
	GetCurrentClassLogger	Gets the logger with the full name of the current class, so namespace and class name.
	GetCurrentClassLoggerT	Gets the logger with the full name of the current class, so namespace and class name. Use T to create instance of a custom Logger. If you haven't defined your own Logger class, then use the overload without the type parameter.
	GetLogger(String)	Gets the specified named logger.
	GetLoggerT(String)	Gets the specified named logger. Use T to create instance of a custom Logger. If you haven't defined your own Logger class, then use the overload without the type parameter.
	IsLoggingEnabled	Returns if logging is currently enabled.
	OnConfigurationChanged	Raises the event when the configuration is reloaded.
	OnConfigurationReloaded	Obsolete. Obsolete and replaced by OnConfigurationReloaded(LoggingConfigurationReloadedEventArgs) with NLog 5.2. Raises the event when the configuration is reloaded.
	ReconfigExistingLoggers	Loops through all loggers previously returned by GetLogger and recalculates their target and filter list. Useful after modifying the configuration programmatically to ensure that all loggers have been properly configured.
	ReconfigExistingLoggers(Boolean)	Loops through all loggers previously returned by GetLogger and recalculates their target and filter list. Useful after modifying the configuration programmatically to ensure that all loggers have been properly configured.
	ResumeLogging	Resumes logging if having called SuspendLogging.
	Setup	Begins configuration of the LogFactory options using fluent interface
	Setup(ActionISetupBuilder)	Begins configuration of the LogFactory options using fluent interface
	Shutdown	Dispose all targets, and shutdown logging.
	SuspendLogging	Suspends the logging, and returns object for using-scope so scope-exit calls ResumeLogging
