How to send stacktrace of exceptions to Chainsaw or Log2Console

[themarcus]

hi there!

wow! NLog is great!

im playing around with Log2Console and Chainsaw. Everything works fine but i cant figure out how to tell my lovely NLog framework to sent also exception statcktrace to them. The layout parameter does not work and i get exceptions.
has anyone done this yet?

I'm having the exact same problem, have you found a solution?

It would be really nice to get the exceptions to Log2Console. Or is there another similar tool that we can use instead om Log2Console?

I do it by setting a second Target just for exceptions:

    <target name="viewer" xsi:type="NLogViewer" address="udp4://localhost:7001" />
    <target name="viewer2" xsi:type="Network" layout="${exception:format=ToString}" address="udp4://localhost:7002" />

For the exceptions, Log2Console complains "The Log Event is not a valid log4j Xml block", but it shows up in the details pane.
Make sure to set up Log2Console for 2 receivers.
