To set up the target in the configuration file, use the following syntax:
1<?xml version="1.0" ?> 2<nlog xmlns="http://www.nlog-project.org/schemas/NLog.xsd" 3 xmlns:xsi="http://www.w3.org/2001/XMLSchema-instance"> 4 <targets> 5 <target name="n" xsi:type="Null" layout="${message}" formatMessage="true" /> 6 </targets> 7 8 <rules> 9 <logger name="*" minlevel="Debug" writeTo="n" /> 10 </rules> 11</nlog>
To set up the log target programmatically use code like this:
1using System; 2 3using NLog; 4using NLog.Targets; 5 6class Example 7{ 8 static void Main(string[] args) 9 { 10 NullTarget target = new NullTarget(); 11 target.Layout = "${message}"; 12 target.FormatMessage = true; 13 14 NLog.Config.SimpleConfigurator.ConfigureForTargetLogging(target, LogLevel.Debug); 15 16 Logger logger = LogManager.GetLogger("Example"); 17 logger.Debug("log message"); 18 } 19}
