Not able to send logs to elastic search via Nlog.config

[prakshi91 (Prakshi tyagi)]

Hi Everyone,

Our aim is to send logs to Elasticsearch and we have made changes to the NLog.config file as per the documentation - Home · markmcdowell/NLog.Targets.ElasticSearch Wiki · GitHub

NLog File

However, we are getting the an error as
NLog.NLogConfigurationException: Failed to create Target of type: Elasticsearch ---> System.ArgumentException: Target symbol-name is unknown: 'Elasticsearch' at NLog.Config.Factory`2.CreateInstance(String itemName)-

Hello and welcome,

NLog.NLogConfigurationException: Failed to create Target of type: Elasticsearch ---> System.ArgumentException: Target symbol-name is unknown: 'Elasticsearch' at NLog.Config.Factory`2.CreateInstance(String itemName)-

This does not seem to be an issue with Elasticsearch, but with the tool you are using which is not made by Elastic nor supported here, you need to contact the author of that tool on their github.
