PlainConsoleLogger 3.0.0

Suggested Alternatives

PlainConsoleLoggerFormatter

Additional Details

ASP.NET 5.0 introduced console formatters, so there's now a better solution for adapting the output of the console logger. Refer to the PlainConsoleLoggerFormatter package for a console formatter with the same behaviour as this package.

dotnet add package PlainConsoleLogger --version 3.0.0                
NuGet\Install-Package PlainConsoleLogger -Version 3.0.0                
This command is intended to be used within the Package Manager Console in Visual Studio, as it uses the NuGet module's version of Install-Package.
<PackageReference Include="PlainConsoleLogger" Version="3.0.0" />

#r "nuget: PlainConsoleLogger, 3.0.0"                
#r directive can be used in F# Interactive and Polyglot Notebooks. Copy this into the interactive tool or source code of the script to reference the package.

PlainConsoleLogger NuGet License

A basic alternative console logger for ASP.NET Core 2.x.

The main difference from the Microsoft's console logger is the log format:

  • no support for colors
  • better log levels mapping (TRACE, DEBUG, INFO, WARN, ERROR and CRIT), instead of weird abbreviations
  • log messages are by default on a single line
  • exceptions start on a new line and are indented with 4 characters
  • the class name is simplified by removing the namespace
