Nlog: Structured logging feedback

[304NotModified]

Structured logging has been re-introduced in NLog 4.5 beta 4. It works on all platforms, including .NET Standard 2.

Please post feedback here!

(PS: We have to update our docs)

Thanks in advance!

Not supporting .Net Standard 1.x delays my consumption and evaluation of structured logging by many months. sigh Will it be merged up to the 5.x branch and then supported by .Net Standard 1.x?

Unfortunately no. Supporting .NET Standard 1 is hard and therefor there is no RTM for .NET Standard 1

Probably we will also drop .NET Standard 1 support soon. It's really delaying our development, feedback is low, has too many hacks and tooling support is dramatic. See https://github.com/NLog/NLog/issues/2150 and https://twitter.com/NLogOfficial/status/909135834229755904

If this should be done, then it would probably be easier to create a new branch from main (ex coreclr2), and then cherry-pick the changes needed for NetStandard 1.3 and UWP.

Is there a note anywhere on how to enable this?

It is enabled by default, so it will automatically parse log-messages and capture property-names. These can be presented like one have always done with NLog-Properties.

You can try this custom nuget-package build, that supports NetStandard1.5:

I think this one could be closed :)
