serilog

My Serilog configuration code looks like this: Log.Logger = new LoggerConfiguration() .Enrich.WithExceptionDetails() .Enrich.FromLogContext() .MinimumLevel.Warning() // .MinimumLevel.Override("Microsoft", LogEventLevel.Verbose) // .MinimumLevel.Override("System", LogEventLevel.Verbose) // .MinimumLevel.Override("Microsoft.AspNetCore.Authentication", LogEventLevel.Verbose) .WriteTo.Console( outputTemplate: "[{Timestamp:HH:mm:ss} {Level}] {SourceContext}{NewLine}{Message:lj}{NewLine}{Exception}{NewLine}", theme: AnsiConsoleTheme.Literate ) // .WriteTo.File() .CreateLogger(); I'd like to change

Consider this app.config appSetting entry: <add key="serilog:write-to:RollingFile.pathFormat" value="ServerServiceApp-{Date}.log" /> This is done at app startup: Log.Logger = new LoggerConfiguration() .ReadFrom.AppSettings() .Enrich.WithThreadId() .CreateLogger(); This is in a Windows service app. The log file ends up here: C:\Windows\SysWOW64 Clearly, we’d rather have the log file end up in the same directory that houses this service’s .exe (customers don’t want us writing stuff to SysWOW64). But how? We need the ReadFrom.AppSettings in there so that the customer can supply serilog settings

I'm trying to configure Serilog for a .NET Core project. Here's what I have in my appsettings.json : "Serilog": { "MinimumLevel": "Verbose", "Enrich": ["FromLogContext", "WithMachineName", "WithProcessId", "WithThreadId"], "WriteTo": [ { "Name": "RollingFile", "Args": { "pathFormat": "C:/Logfiles/testapp/log-{Date}.json", "textFormatter": "JsonFormatter", "fileSizeLimitBytes": 2147483648, "retainedFileCountLimit": 5 } } ] } The problem I see is that JsonFormatter is not picked up, and instead I get entries using the default text formatter. I tried using "formatter": "JsonFormatter" , but got

I have created a .Net class library (4.6.2) and created serilog implementation which is called by other interfaces such as console app. Now when I use File sink type, the logs are getting written to the files but with MSSQL sink, its not doing so. The log tables are getting created with column options as provided with autoCreateTable options ILogger logger = new LoggerConfiguration() .WriteTo.MSSqlServer(connectionString, tableName, autoCreateSqlTable: autoCreateSqlTable, restrictedToMinimumLevel: LogEventLevel.Verbose, columnOptions: GetSQLSinkColumnOptions(), batchPostingLimit:

I've looked around, but I could not find a working solution, and since all examples look alike I assume it must be me overlooking something obvious. Also note this is my first real project using.NET Core and Serilog. The Problem I am trying to log (using serilog) some custom properties into their own columns in the database as defined in appsettings.json and added via middleware on the pipeline. But the values remain NULL, even though the same items are correctly filled in the properties XML column. So I have the expected new properties for authenticated users: <properties> <property key=

I am trying to setup Serilog with my ASP.NET Core application. I'd like to have one log file for all controllers, one for all services, one for the rest and ideally one which contains everything. Every controller is inheriting BaseController and every service BaseService . The controller and the service I am calling are writing a trace log event. The logger and the service are retrieved via dependy injection. The service looks like the controller (regarding the logger). public class UsersController: BaseController { private UserService service { get; } public UsersController(ILogger
