How to turn off the logging done by the ASP.NET core framework

Question

How do I turn off the logging done by ASP.NET for each request e.g.

If you're using Serilog to do your .NET Core logging, you can update your appsettings.json file to set the log levels like so:

"Serilog": {
  "MinimumLevel": {
    "Default": "Verbose",
    "Override": {
      "Microsoft": "Error",
      "System": "Error"
    }
  },
  "Properties": {
    "Application": "your-app"
  }
}

This allows you to only log errors from System/Microsoft while logging everything else as you'd like.
