+## Logging
+
+Starting in version 2.18, the .NET/C# driver uses the standard  [.NET logging API](https://learn.microsoft.com/en-us/dotnet/core/extensions/logging?tabs=command-line). The [MongoDB logging specification](https://github.com/mongodb/specifications/blob/master/source/logging/logging.rst) defines the components, structure, and verbosity of the logs. On this page, you can learn how to set up and configure logging for your application.
+
+You can configure logging using the [`LoggingSettings`]({{< apiref "T_MongoDB_Driver_Core_Configuration_LoggingSettings" >}}). ```LoggingSettings``` contains the following properties:
+
+|Property|Description|
+|--------|-----------|
+|LoggerFactory|The [ILoggerFactory](https://learn.microsoft.com/en-us/dotnet/api/microsoft.extensions.logging.iloggerfactory?view=dotnet-plat-ext-6.0) object that will create an [ILogger](https://learn.microsoft.com/en-us/dotnet/api/microsoft.extensions.logging.ilogger?view=dotnet-plat-ext-6.0).<br><br>**Data Type:** ILoggerFactory<br>**Default:** null  |
+|MaxDocumentSize|Maximum number of characters for extended JSON documents in logged messages<br><br>For example, when the driver logs the [CommandStarted](https://github.com/mongodb/specifications/blob/master/source/command-logging-and-monitoring/command-logging-and-monitoring.rst#command-started-message) event, it truncates the Command field to the specified character limit.<br><br>**Data Type:** int<br>**Default:** 1000|
+
+
+The following code example creates a MongoClient that logs debug messages to the console. To do so, the code performs the following steps:
+- Creates a LoggerFactory, which specifies the logging destination and level
+- Creates a LoggingSettings object, passing the LoggerFactory object as a parameter to the constructor
+- Creates a MongoClient object, passing the LoggingSettings object as a parameter to the constructor
+
+
+```csharp
+ using var loggerFactory = LoggerFactory.Create(b =>
+ {
+    b.AddSimpleConsole();
+    b.SetMinimumLevel(LogLevel.Debug);
+ });
+
+ var settings = MongoClientSettings.FromConnectionString(...);
+ settings.LoggingSettings = new LoggingSettings(loggerFactory);
+ var client = new MongoClient(settings);
+```
+.NET/C# driver log category naming:
+
+|Property|Description|
+|--------|-----------|
+|MongoDB.Command|command|
+|MongoDB.SDAM|topology|
+|MongoDB.ServerSelection|serverSelection|
+|MongoDB.Connection|connection|
+|MongoDB.Internal.*|Prefix for all .NET/C# Driver internal components not described by spec|
+
+
+How to configure log categories verbosity example:
+
+```csharp
+var categoriesConfiguration = new Dictionary<string, string>
+{
+    // Output all logs from all categories with Error and higher level
+    { "LogLevel:Default", "Error" },
+    // Output SDAM logs with Debug and higher level
+    { "LogLevel:MongoDB.SDAM", "Debug" }
+};
+var config = new ConfigurationBuilder()
+   .AddInMemoryCollection(categoriesConfiguration)
+   .Build();
+using var loggerFactory = LoggerFactory.Create(b =>
+{
+    b.AddConfiguration(config);
+    b.AddSimpleConsole();
+});
+
+var settings = MongoClientSettings.FromConnectionString("mongodb://localhost:27017");
+settings.LoggingSettings = new LoggingSettings(loggerFactory);
+var client = new MongoClient(settings);
+```
