# ConsoleLog
### SetUp
Include `Logging.Console` library in project:
```csharp
using Vostok.Logging.Console;
```
An standard `ILog` is created using `ConsoleLog`:
```csharp
var log = new ConsoleLog();
```
Create an event. Let it be an error message:
```csharp
log.Error("Error number 1");
```
You can add as many events as you want:
```csharp
for (int i = 1; i <= 100; i++)
{
log.Error("Error number {0}",i);
}
```
To observe the result, add `ConsoleLog.Flush()` or `ConsoleLog.FlushAsync()`.
Result:
```aspnet
2018-11-06 17:36:04,702 ERROR Error number 1
...
2018-11-06 17:36:04,789 ERROR Error number 100
```
### First Usage
Configure a log and use `ConsoleLogSettings` for it. \
For example, you can change output template. The log would show only time stamp and message. Leave the rest of the code the same:
```csharp
var consoleLog = new ConsoleLog(new ConsoleLogSettings
{
OutputTemplate = OutputTemplate.Parse("{TimeStamp:hh:mm:ss} {Message}{NewLine}")
});
for (int i = 1; i <= 100; i++)
{
consoleLog.Error("Error number {0}",i);
}
ConsoleLog.Flush();
```
Result:
```
06:06:51 Error number 1
...
06:06:51 Error number 100
```
### Configurations
Console log's configuration passes in code (the example above).
