Sends log messages to a NLog Receiver Service (using WCF or Web Services).

Platforms Supported:All - Requires nuget-packageNLog.Wcf since NLog 5.0

<targets>  <targetxsi:type="LogReceiverService"name="String"endpointConfigurationName="String"endpointAddress="String"useBinaryEncoding="Boolean"clientId="Layout"includeEventProperties="Boolean">    <parameterlayout="Layout"name="String"type="System.Type"/><!-- repeated-->  </target></targets>

• name - Name of the target.

• endpointAddress - Endpoint address. Required.

• endpointConfigurationName - Name of the endpoint configuration in WCF configuration file

  Only supported on .NET Framework platform withapp.config. Trying to enable on .NET Core fails with:System.PlatformNotSupportedException: Configuration files are not supported.

• useBinaryEncoding - Indicates whether to use binary message encoding.Boolean

• parameters - The list of parameters.Collection
  Each collection item is represented by <parameter /> element with the following attributes:

  • layout - Layout that should be use to calculate the value for the parameter.Layout Required.
  • name - Name of the parameter.
  • type - Type of the parameter.System.Type

• clientId - Application Client Identifier, translates intoNLogEvents.ClientNameLayout

• includeEventProperties - Indicates whether to include per-event properties in the payload sent to the server.Boolean

Parameters are passed to the WCF LogReceiverService target using one or more configuration lines such as:

<parametername="MyParameter"layout="My Value!" /><parametername="nlogdir"layout="${nlogdir}" />

These parameters are passed over the network to the service and can be accessed by emitting events from your receiver application.
