Write log messages
1 min
Write log messages through the .NET Core Microsoft.Extensions.Logging API to keep CMS and custom application logs in a single, consistent output. Optimizely CMS 13 uses this API, so all logs flow to the same configured destination.
The EPiServer.Logging namespace provides a facade over Microsoft.Extensions.Logging. To manage logger configuration and output, go to Logging in .NET Core.
📘 Backward compatibility Existing projects that use the EPiServer.Logging API continue to work because the API acts as a facade over Microsoft.Extensions.Logging. For new projects, log directly through the Microsoft.Extensions.Logging API.
