Serilog.Extensions.Logging.File package is an easy way to add file logging to ASP.Net Core application (.NET Core 2.0 is supported in the latest version, which is pre-release at the moment).

• Plugs in as ASP.NET Core logging provider
• Provides a subset of Serilog functionality, specifically for logging to the file system.
