Hello,

I have Graylog on our own server and we are able to send logs for Java application to Graylog sucessfully.  
I wanted to setup Graylog stream for our ‘.Net’ application but could not find any step/document related to it. Shall I use the same setup for ‘.Net’ application what we did for Java application ?

As I understand it you have a couple of options:

- Use a GELF library to send logging directly form your app
  - See [GitHub - mattwcole/gelf-extensions-logging: GELF provider for Microsoft.Extensions.Logging](https://github.com/mattwcole/gelf-extensions-logging)
  - Additionally, it should be trivial to implement a class or method that sends a json payload to an HTTP endpoint (such as GELF HTTP input)

- Log to file and use [Filebeat](https://www.elastic.co/beats/filebeat) or [NXLog](https://nxlog.co/products/nxlog-community-edition) to ship logs to graylog

Hope that helps.
