How to set up Nlog for logging to ElasticSearch?

Question

elasticsearch

Good afternoon! please tell me how to set up
the Nloga config in the project so that it sends logs to ELK . Now I have Nlog writes everything to files, for example, there is a target

<target name="DebugFile" xsi:type="File" fileName="${logDirectory}Debug${logFilePrefix}"
            archiveFileName="${logDirectory}Debug${archiveFilePrefix}"
            layout="${fileLayout}" />

according to the attached example, I made this "turd"

<target name="elastic" xsi:type="BufferingWrapper" index="AxBranches" uri="http://localhost:9200" flushTimeout="5000">
       layout="$Debug" />

Of course, this does not work, how to do it right?

<extensions>
    <add assembly="NLog.Targets.ElasticSearch"/>
</extensions>

<target name="ElasticSearch" xsi:type="BufferingWrapper" flushTimeout="5000">
      <target xsi:type="ElasticSearch" layout="${message}" uri="http://192.168.1.1:9200/" 
                  index="logs-${date:format=yyyy.MM.dd}">
      </target>
</target>

<rules>
    <logger name="*" minlevel="Warn" writeTo="ElasticSearch" />
</rules>
