My company's standard logging tool is NLog. I'm trying to introduce Quartz.net and was asked if it could use NLog instead of Log4Net.
I know I can recompile to use NLog, but I'd like to do it from the configuration files if at all possible.
Assuming that you're using Quartz.net 1.0.3. you have to add a reference to the following assemblies:
Common.Logging
Common.Logging.NLog
NLog
Then you have to add the following configuration in your application's config file:
<configuration>
<configSections>
<sectionGroup name="common">
<section name="logging" type="Common.Logging.ConfigurationSectionHandler, Common.Logging" />
</sectionGroup>
</configSections>
...
<common>
<logging>
<factoryAdapter type="Common.Logging.NLog.NLogLoggerFactoryAdapter, Common.Logging.NLog">
<arg key="configType" value="FILE" />
<arg key="configFile" value="~/NLog.config" />
</factoryAdapter>
</logging>
</common>
</configuration>
Note that I am using an external NLog.config file.
NOTE:
Quartz.net uses Common.Logging version 1.2.
