如何在NLog.config中使用machine.config设置

Question

Is it possible to use a machine.config setting inside the Nlog.config?

Example

       <nlog>
          ...
          <target name="database" xsi:type="Database" 
keepConnection="true" dbDatabase="xxx" 
dbHost="**MACHINE_CONFIG_SETTING**" 
commandType="StoredProcedure"  dbProvider="System.Data.SqlClient" dbUserName="**MACHINE_CONFIG_SETTING**"
 dbPassword="**MACHINE_CONFIG_SETTING**" 
  connectionString="**MACHINE_CONFIG_SETTING**"
          commandText="stored_proc">
    </nlog>

We have the dbhost name and dbUsername in the machine config so I don't really want to duplicate that information in the Nlog config. I don't want to put the whole of the Nlog configuration in the machine config if I can help it.

Any help would be very much appreciated.

This should be possible, but you can't overwrite it partly.

You can also use <include file="${basedir}/${machinename}.config"/> for reuse, which is a bit more flexible.
