For light usage, you can use the regular appender:

<appender name="LogglyAppender" type="Log4Netly.LogglyAppender, Log4Netly">
  <endpoint value="https://logs-01.loggly.com/" />
  <token value="your-loggly-token" />
  <tags value="tag1,tag2,tag3" /><!-- One or more tags -->
</appender>

For heavy usage, to reduce the chance of TCP port exhaustion, use the buffered appender:

<appender name="BufferedLogglyAppender" type="Log4Netly.BufferedLogglyAppender, Log4Netly">
  <endpoint value="https://logs-01.loggly.com/"/>
  <token value="your-loggly-token" />
  <tags value="tag1,tag2,tag3" /><!-- One or more tags -->
  <bufferSize value="512" />
  <intervalInMs value="2500" />
</appender>

Both buffers include basic support for log4net's ErrorHandler. An example is provided in the Log4NetlyTesting project.
