Layouts are one of the attributes of most targets. The layout attribute is used to determine the format of the information to be logged. Many pre-defined 'macros' or Layout renderers exist. In the below example ${machinename} is an example of a layout renderer.

Default Layout

If a target has the layout attribute, you may define a custom layout. If you do not specify a layout, the default layout is used. The default layout is:

${longdate}|${level:uppercase=true}|${logger}|${message}

 

NLog time formatting

${date:format=yyyy-MM-dd HH\:mm\:ss.fff}

According to the NLog documentation, you can use C# DateTime format string.

This is a pretty good reference for DateTime format strings: http://www.geekzilla.co.uk/View00FF7904-B510-468C-A2C8-F859AA20581F.htm
