Hi there! 👋

Trying to get Sentry wired up via NLog, and not having much luck.

NLog.config:

<?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8" ?>
<nlog xmlns="http://www.nlog-project.org/schemas/NLog.xsd"
      xmlns:xsi="http://www.w3.org/2001/XMLSchema-instance"
      autoReload="true"
      throwExceptions="true"
      internalLogLevel="Debug"
      internalLogFile="c:\temp\nlog-internal.txt"
      internalLogToConsole="true"
      throwConfigExceptions="true">

  <extensions>
    <add assembly="Sentry.NLog" />
  </extensions>

  <targets>
    <target xsi:type="Sentry"
            name="sentry"
            dsn="https://secret"
            environment="test"
            includeEventProperties="True"
            layout="${message}"
            breadcrumbLayout="${message}"
            minimumBreadcrumbLevel="Debug"
            ignoreEventsWithNoException="False"
            includeEventDataOnBreadcrumbs="False"
            includeEventPropertiesAsTags="True"
            minimumEventLevel="Error" />    
  </targets>

  <rules>
    <logger name="*" minlevel="Error" writeTo="sentry" />
  </rules>

</nlog>

Things I’ve checked:

• DSN. Copied and pasted from the Sentry portal, so i know it’s correct
• No filters on ‘environments’ in Sentry.
• Nlog log file shows no errors. In fact in shows Sentry being wired up.
• Added other targets to NLog (e.g console, file, etc), they work fine.

Any ideas?

Thanks

@bruno-garcia my bad. I think the problem was i wasn’t waiting long enough for it to ‘flush’. I was logging, then killing my app.

I let it run for a while, and it eventually came through. I guess i expected all NLog events to ‘flush’ at the same time. In this case, it was flushing to output 1 immediately, but Sentinel a few seconds later.

All good, will close issue. Sorry and thanks 😊

You can call SentrySdk.Close() at the end of the app execution to flush things out.

Ideally NLog Flush would pipe to sentry flush if that not the case yet
