Why is this an issue?

Sharing some naming conventions is a key point to make it possible for a team to efficiently collaborate. This rule checks that the logger field or property name matches a provided regular expression.

The rule supports the most popular logging frameworks:

• Nuget package - Microsoft.Extensions.Logging
• Nuget package - Serilog
• Nuget package - Castle.Core
• Nuget package - NLog
• Nuget package - log4net

How to fix it

Update the name of the field or property to follow the configured naming convention. By default, the following names are considered compliant:

• {logger}
• {_logger}
• {Logger}
• {_Logger}
• {log}
• {_log}

Noncompliant code example

private readonly ILogger myLogger; // Noncompliant

public ILogger MyLogger { get; set; } // Noncompliant

Compliant solution

private readonly ILogger logger; // Compliant

public ILogger Logger { get; set; } // Compliant
