Nlog Date layout need to get the datetime offset with the long date

Question

Tried

${longdate:format=yyyy-MM-ddTHH\\:mm:ss.ffffK} 

but its not writing in offset into the file using Nlog. Tried

${date:format=yyyy-MM-ddTHH\\:mm:ss.ffffK} 

it gives the offset and the time output. Even tried zzz instead of K.

Can we give any other usage for getting the UTC offset in Nlog consoleLayout.Text?

Answer 1

To log DateTimeOffset in database, I use this:

<parameter name="@logged" layout="${longdate}${date:format= K}" />

Please note, that space following = really matters! I checked NLog internal log and here is what I found:

Logged value (with space): 2017-04-21 10:05:48.1868000 +02:00

Logged value (without space): 2017-04-21 10:05:48.1868000

Hope it helped.

Answer 2

${date:format=yyyy-MM-ddTHH\:mm\:ss.ffff}${date:format=%K}
