Castle Project does not contain its own logging framework, there are already excellent frameworks out there. Instead ILogger and ILoggerFactory are abstractions to decouple Castle libraries from the framework you decide to use.
Castle Core provides the following logger implementations, however you can create your own:
| Logger | Implementation |
|---|---|
| Null | Castle.Core.Logging.NullLogFactory (Castle.Core.dll) |
| Console | Castle.Core.Logging.ConsoleFactory (Castle.Core.dll) |
| Diagnostics | Castle.Core.Logging.DiagnosticsLoggerFactory (Castle.Core.dll) |
| Trace | Castle.Core.Logging.TraceLoggerFactory (Castle.Core.dll) |
| Stream | Castle.Core.Logging.StreamLoggerFactory (Castle.Core.dll) |
| log4net | Castle.Services.Logging.Log4netIntegration.Log4netFactory (Castle.Services.Logging.Log4netIntegration.dll) |
| log4net extended | Castle.Services.Logging.Log4netIntegration.ExtendedLog4netFactory (Castle.Services.Logging.Log4netIntegration.dll) |
| NLog | Castle.Services.Logging.NLogIntegration.NLogFactory (Castle.Services.Logging.NLogIntegration.dll) |
| NLog extended | Castle.Services.Logging.NLogIntegration.ExtendedNLogFactory (Castle.Services.Logging.NLogIntegration.dll) |
| Serilog | Castle.Services.Logging.SerilogIntegration.SerilogFactory (Castle.Services.Logging.SerilogIntegration.dll) |
