Changing nLog logging level in Production

Question

What's the best practice for changing the logging level for nLog in a production environment. The only way I can change it is to modify the NLog.config file, and then recycle the app pool. Is that how it should be done?

Thanks,

Chris

If you want to change logging configuration, without restarting application, you should set autoReload="true".

NLog.config file:

<nlog autoReload="true">
   ...
</nlog>
