Nlog and Sentinel

[John Zielke]

I have been using NLog and Sentinel to monitor log messages but it seems in the latest NLog release, that functionality no longer works.  Is there an issue writing to the UDP ports?  I have not tried TCP yet.  One project using NLog V2.0.0.0 works fine with Sentinel while another on the latest NLog does not.  

I did turn on Nlog Logging and the target is opening and closing but appears that nothing is being sent to Sentinel.  

Just wondering if others are having any issues?

Could you post the log output and the configuration?

[John Zielke]

I am basically doing the code version of the NLog Config from this website example.

The NLog.Config file configuration logging is working fine.  No issue going to files.

I will post a log when I get back to the machine. I will also upgrade the working machine to make sure it is not machine or config specific.

I Upgraded to NuGet package version NLog.2.0.1.2, Sentinel no longer works

NuGet package version NLog.2.0.0.2000 worked fine with Sentinel.

Downgraded back to NLog.2.0.0.2000 and Sentinel is now working again.

Looks like the latest NUGet package might have an issue.  Both packages where published by different people.

Even though the log doesn't contain any errors it still may be helpful in figuring out what's wrong.

Could you post a simple sample project reproducing the error?

The NuGet packages is published by different persons, as Jarek no longer actively develops NLog.

Thanks in advance.

I created two projects.  One with the V2.0.0.2 DLL and one with the V2.0.1.2.  How can I get them to you?  Don't see an option to include an attachment to the post.

Unfortunately Google groups don't have a way to attach files. Maybe you could upload the to github or send me a mail.

I can see this doesn't work in the new version, and I'm trying to figure out why. Sorry to keep you hanging.

[Kim Christensen]

I've figured out why this happens. Harvester and Sentinel doesn't seem to support the inclusion of NLog data in the Log4JXML Which are included by default in the new version. Actually I'm not totally sure if this is a bug in NLog or in the other applications I have to look into that.

The current workaround is to tell NLog not to include NLog specific data, which can be done like this:

var sentinelTarget = new NLogViewerTarget()

{

  Name = "sentinel",

  Address = "udp://127.0.0.1:9999",

  IncludeNLogData = false

};

and

var harvesterTarget = new OutputDebugStringTarget()

{

  Name = "harvester",

  Layout = "${log4jxmlevent:includeNLogData=false}"

};

Great.. Thanks for looking into this. 

I appreciate the fix.

Thanks for the work around.  Looks like Log2Console was breaking also.  The property did the trick.

Thanks Kim. I've updated the code example in the blog post to use your workaround code since this caught me out as well after upgrading.
