Description
Could be nice if one could do this:
{
"NLog": {
"throwConfigExceptions": true,
"targets": {
"logconsole": {
"type": "Console"
},
"email": {
"type": "mail"
},
"bothTargets": {
"type": "SplitGroup",
"targets": {
"logconsole": null,
"email": null
}
}
},
"rules": [
{
"logger": "*",
"minLevel": "Info",
"writeTo": "bothTargets"
}
]
}
}
Maybe one will get "cheated" by the automatic sorting of dictionary-items, so the splitgroup must be named so it comes "last", after the other target-names to ensure they have been parsed/declared.
Similar to this:
<targets>
<target name='email' xsi:type='mail' />
<target name='logconsole' xsi:type='console' />
<target name="bothTargets" xsi:type="SplitGroup">
<target-ref name="logconsole" />
<target-ref name="email" />
</target>
</targets>

Research direction
Start by reproducing the AppSettings.json configuration with the SplitGroup target and its logconsole and email references, then compare its behavior with the XML target-ref example. Determine whether declaration order or dictionary sorting affects target resolution; done means the behavior is verified and any required change is identified.
