NLog 5 ignores Logging.LogLevel.Default option

I'm trying to configure NLog for a .NET 6 console app using the following appsettings.json:

{
  "Logging": {
    "LogLevel": {
      "Default": "Information",
      "Microsoft": "Warning"
    }
  },
  "NLog": {
    "targets": {
      "console": {
        "type": "Console",
        "layout": "${longdate} ${pad:padding=5:inner=${uppercase:${level}}} ${message}${onexception:inner=${newline}${exception:format=ToString}}"
      }
    },
    "rules": [
      {
        "logger": "*",
        "writeTo": "console",
        "minLevel": "Trace"
      }
    ]
  }
}

Host.CreateDefaultBuilder(args)
    .ConfigureLogging((context, logging) =>
    {
        var configuration = context.Configuration.GetSection("NLog");
        if (!configuration.Exists())
            return;

        LogManager.Configuration = new NLogLoggingConfiguration(configuration);
        logging.ClearProviders();
        logging.AddNLog();
    })
    .ConfigureServices(services =>
    {
        services.AddHostedService<MyHostedService>();
    })
    .Build()
    .Run();

The following code of the MyHostedService works as expected with NLog.Extensions.Logging 1.7.5 - only messages at the Information level and higher are displayed in the console.

private readonly ILogger<MyHostedService> _logger;

public MyHostedService(ILogger<MyHostedService> logger)
{
    _logger = logger;
}

public Task StartAsync(CancellationToken cancellationToken)
{
    _logger.LogTrace("Test");
    _logger.LogDebug("Test");
    _logger.LogInformation("Test");
    _logger.LogWarning("Test");
    _logger.LogError("Test");
    _logger.LogCritical("Test");
    return Task.CompletedTask;
}

But if 5.2.0 is installed then it outputs all messages. What am I doing wrong? Does NLog.Extensions.Logging 5.2.0 package require additional settings to consider Logging.LogLevel.Default configuration option value?

Solution

NLog v5 includes several breaking changes where one is NLog.Extensions.Logging without any filter

You can do this:

  "NLog": {
    "targets": {
      "console": {
        "type": "Console",
        "layout": "${longdate} ${pad:padding=5:inner=${uppercase:${level}}} ${message}${onexception:inner=${newline}${exception:format=ToString}}"
      }
    },
    "rules": [
      {
        "logger": "*",
        "finalMinLevel": "Info"
      },
      {
        "logger": "Microsoft*",
        "finalMinLevel": "Warn"
      },
      {
        "logger": "*",
        "writeTo": "console",
        "minLevel": "Trace"
      }
    ]
  }

Or you can do this:

{
  "Logging": {
    "LogLevel": {
      "Default": "Information",
      "Microsoft": "Warning"
    },
    "NLog": {
      "RemoveLoggerFactoryFilter": false
    }
  },
  "NLog": {
    "targets": {
      "console": {
        "type": "Console"
      }
    },
    "rules": [
      {
        "logger": "*",
        "writeTo": "console",
        "minLevel": "Trace"
      }
    ]
  }
}
