#{WebServices.Logging.Root} are replaced by Octopus with a valid path.

Current result, target filename for log files when containing braces in the path causes a log file name to be written incorrectly. So a filename of C:\Logs\UAT (Testing)\Debuglog.log will be written as C:\Logs\UAT (Testing).

Expected result, target filename should accept valid filename characters in the path so that a filename of C:\Logs\UAT (Testing)\Debuglog.log will be written as C:\Logs\UAT (Testing)\Debuglog.log.

Changing the path in the config to C:\Logs\Debuglog.log allows the correect log file to be written.

#{WebServices.Logging.Root} are replaced by Octopus with a valid path.

I'm a bit confused. NLog is loaded before replacing with octopus?

So a filename of C:\Logs\UAT (Testing)\Debuglog.log will be written as C:\Logs\UAT (Testing).

Which target could result in C:\Logs\UAT (Testing)\Debuglog.log?

@oggythorpe1610 Have you checked the NLog Internal Logger to see how it parses the input? It will show the parsed layout and the filenames being created. See https://github.com/NLog/NLog/wiki/Internal-Logging
