Logging using NLog.Logger

If you check the documentation (https://support.oneidentity.com/technical-documents/identity-manager/9.1.1/process-monitoring-and-troubleshooting-guide/11#TOPIC-1990529) you will see, that the JobGenLog is only used during the generation of a process.

You will find more sample in other threads (How can i trace the script on IDM) or in a video series on our YouTube channel (https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=cR_ECXNh_Lc)

hi Markus Weiss-Ehlers ,

thanks for your reply.

I have tried, but seems that I cannot write into the JobGenLog logger.

my code has this

Dim logJobGenLog = NLog.LogManager.GetLogger("JobGenLog")
logJobGenLog.Debug("This is a simple log, level (Debug), logger (JobGenLog)")

and the XML is this

<nlog autoReload="true" xmlns="http://www.nlog-project.org/schemas/NLog.xsd" xmlns:xsi="http://www.w3.org/2001/XMLSchema-instance">
	<targets>
		<target name="customDebug" xsi:type="File" fileName="C:\CustomDebug\customDebug.log" layout="${longdate} ${level:upperCase=true} (${logger}) : ${event-context:item=Indention}${message} ${exception}" encoding="utf-8" />
	</targets>

	<rules>
		<logger name="JobGenLog" minlevel="Debug" writeTo="customDebug"/>
		<logger name="CCC*" minlevel="Debug" writeTo="customDebug"/>
	</rules>
</nlog>

I have also tried with a custom logger, "CCC_Test", I manage to write in a new file, but not in the sametarget "customDebug".
Any idea perhaps?

How did you test your code and where is the code placed? Your XML is part of which file?

I have a process, which calls a custom script called "CCC_Test" in one of the steps

From Object Browser I trigger the process sending an event.

The XML provided is part of the globallog.config file.

The goal is to have in one file both logs from the process (JobGenLog) and from the logs coming from the script.

Hi,

These are my notes for creating/using a custom NLog logger ..... perhaps it helps.  Personally, I wouldn't use one of the OOB logger configurations ..... just to be in control.

Add an NLOG logger

In the globallog.config (on all jobservers):

Add a target with your custom name:

 <targets>

  <target name="CCC_DataImport" xsi:type="File" fileName="${logBaseDir}/${appName}_CCC_DataImport.log" layout="${layout}" encoding="utf-8"
   archiveFileName="${logBaseDir}/${appName}_CCC_DataImport.{#}.log" maxArchiveFiles="7" archiveEvery="Day" archiveNumbering="Rolling"/>

Then add a rule:

 <rules>

  <logger name="CCC_DataImport.*" minlevel="Trace" writeTo="CCC_DataImport"/>

Now in your code:

' NLog configuration

Dim logger As NLog.Logger = NLog.LogManager.GetLogger("CCC_DataImport.CCC_MyScriptName")

logger.Info("Function Started: {0}", "CCC_MyScriptName")

HTH, Barry.
