BufferingWrapper Target
A target that buffers log events and sends them in batches to the wrapped target. | Assembly | Class | .NET Framework | .NET CF | Mono on Windows | Mono on Unix |
|---|
| 1.0 | 1.1 | 2.0 | 1.0 | 2.0 | 1.0 | 2.0 | 1.0 | 2.0 |
|---|
| NLog.dll | NLog.Targets.Wrappers.BufferingTargetWrapper |  | | | | | | | | |
Parameters (blue fields are required):| Name | Type | Description |
|---|
| name | string | | | bufferSize | integer | | Number of log events to be buffered. Default value is: 100. |
| | flushTimeout | integer | | Flush the contents of buffer if there's no write in the specified period of time (milliseconds). Use -1 to disable timed flushes. Default value is: -1. |
| | wrappedTarget | Target | | The target that this target wraps. |
|
Example: To set up the target in the configuration file, use the following syntax: <nlog xmlns="http://www.nlog-project.org/schemas/NLog.xsd"
xmlns:xsi="http://www.w3.org/2001/XMLSchema-instance">
<targets>
<target name="file" xsi:type="BufferingWrapper" bufferSize="100">
<target xsi:type="File" fileName="${basedir}/file.txt"/>
</target>
</targets>
<rules>
<logger name="*" minlevel="Debug" writeTo="file"/>
</rules>
</nlog>
The above examples assume just one target and a single rule. See below for a programmatic configuration that's equivalent to the above config file: using System;
using NLog;
using NLog.Targets;
using NLog.Targets.Wrappers;
using System.Diagnostics;
class Example
{
static void Main(string[] args)
{
FileTarget wrappedTarget = new FileTarget();
wrappedTarget.FileName = "${basedir}/file.txt";
BufferingTargetWrapper target = new BufferingTargetWrapper();
target.BufferSize = 100;
target.WrappedTarget = wrappedTarget;
NLog.Config.SimpleConfigurator.ConfigureForTargetLogging(target, LogLevel.Debug);
Logger logger = LogManager.GetLogger("Example");
logger.Debug("log message");
}
}
Back to the target list. |
