Logging in .NET Core and ASP.NET Core

Question

I want to log certain output in .net core webapi to a .txt file.

The Microsoft documentation says https://docs.microsoft.com/en-us/aspnet/core/fundamentals/logging/?view=aspnetcore-6.0&WT.mc_id=DT-MVP-5002040#console

 Call WebApplication.CreateBuilder, which adds the following logging providers:
 Console
 Debug
 EventSource
 EventLog: Windows only

There is no information on how to write to a .log file or a .txt file. It all says about console, debug and eventlog.

Am I missing something?
