How do you use this library?

Just install the nuget package and use the target Elmah

You need to create an NLog config. That could by a XML (nlog.config) file or C#, please read

https://github.com/NLog/NLog/wiki/Tutorial

the target in this case is Elmah, so somthing like this

<?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8" ?>
<nlog xmlns="http://www.nlog-project.org/schemas/NLog.xsd"
      xmlns:xsi="http://www.w3.org/2001/XMLSchema-instance">

    <targets>
        <target name="target1" xsi:type="Elmah" />
    </targets>

    <rules>
        <logger name="*" minlevel="Info" writeTo="target1" />
    </rules>
</nlog>

Thanks, @304NotModified. A follow-up: I've installed the package and added the attribute,

[Target("Elmah")]
public class HomeController : Controller
{
	private static Logger _logger = LogManager.GetCurrentClassLogger();
	public ActionResult Index()
	{
		LogEventInfo logEvent = new LogEventInfo(LogLevel.Info, _logger.Name, "Some error by alex");
		_logger.Log(logEvent);
		return View();
	}

	public ActionResult About()
	{
		return View();
	}

	public ActionResult Contact()
	{
		ViewBag.Message = "Your contact page.";

		return View();
	}
}

But it's not writing to Elmah, though it is writing to NLog when I go to Index. I have the Elmah.MVC package installed, so I can go to /Elmah and see the errors.

Thanks, @304NotModified! Very nice instructions!

That fixed it. Also, users can safely ignore the warning it throws for that custom target:

This is an invalid xsi:type 'http://www.nlog-project.org/schemas/NLog.xsd:Elmah'
