I'm having significant trouble getting the simplest of things configured here. I want to write log messages to Application Insights, but I've dialed it back to just trying to get the console to work at this point. I have this working through code-only configuration, but I really need to be able to control this from the config file, so I've added Serilog.Settings.AppSettings, and I'm not getting anywhere. Here's my simplest example. Can anyone tell me what's wrong with it?
<add key="serilog:using:Console" value="Serilog.Sinks.Console"/>
<add key="serilog:write-to:Console"/>
<add key="serilog:write-to:Console.logEventLevel" value="LogEventLevel.Information" />I've tried both "Information" and "LogEventLevel.Information". Neither seems to do anything.
Update: I'm having better luck with Serilog.Sinks.Debug. It seems to work for me now, so I at least know that the configuration is being read. Now I just need to get the ApplicationInsights sink set up, but it's much the same. I'm just not getting anything reported. Here are the lines from my app.config
<add key="serilog:minimum-level" value="Debug" />
<add key="serilog:using:ApplicationInsights" value="Serilog.Sinks.ApplicationInsights" />
<add key="serilog:write-to:ApplicationInsightsEvents.instrumentationKey" value="..." />
<add key="serilog:write-to:ApplicationInsightsEvents.logEventLevel" value="Information" />
<add key="serilog:using:Debug" value="Serilog.Sinks.Debug" />
<add key="serilog:write-to:Debug.logEventLevel" value="Debug" />And here is the config code
Log.Logger = new LoggerConfiguration()
.ReadFrom.AppSettings()
.CreateLogger();Is there anything obviously wrong here?
It's a full-framework (not Core) Web API. The next version will be .Net Core, but that's a whole new project, I'm afraid. In the meantime, I'm trying to add some logging to the existing system for monitoring the progress of certain background jobs. The code-only configuration currently looks like this:
Serilog.Debugging.SelfLog.Enable(msg => Debug.WriteLine(msg));
TelemetryConfiguration.Active.InstrumentationKey = ConfigurationManager.AppSettings["APPINSIGHTS_INSTRUMENTATIONKEY"];
Log.Logger = new LoggerConfiguration()
.WriteTo.ApplicationInsights(TelemetryConfiguration.Active, TelemetryConverter.Events, LogEventLevel.Information)
.CreateLogger();I'd like to do this from AppSettings because they are easily controlled on a per-environment basis through Azure, where the API is hosted. I could do this through a separate config file (json or otherwise), but per-environment appsettings are already used to control other configuration differences between environments on this project, so keeping that same mechanism would be a huge help.
Anyway, I burned nearly a whole day yesterday trying to get the ApplicationInsights sink to configure and fire up through AppSettings, and got nowhere. I've fallen back to the code-based example above. I'm still willing to try any suggestions of how to set up Serilog.Settings.AppSettings though. I think it would be cleaner to use the official support rather than hacking around it myself.
Is there a better way other than checking the config directly? e.g.
var writeToConsole = context.Configuration.GetSection("Serilog:WriteTo").GetChildren().Any(x => x.GetSection("Name").Value == "Console");config.ReadFrom.Configuration(context.Configuration)
serilog tag), or in an issue to https://github.com/serilog/serilog-sinks-applicationinsights, might get some more eyes on it.
Development environment
"Serilog__WriteTo__0__Name" = "Console"
"Serilog__WriteTo__0__Args__theme" = "Serilog.Sinks.SystemConsole.Themes.ConsoleTheme::None, Serilog.Sinks.Console"
"Serilog__WriteTo__0__Args__outputTemplate" = "[{Timestamp:HH:mm:ss} {Level:u3}] ({SourceContext}) {Message:lj}{NewLine}{Exception}"
ByRemovingProperty is what I would like to see in the library :+1
params string[]
ByRemovingProperty which would accept some kind of predicate or at least SourceCountext
ActionName property but only for non-ASP.NET Core logs
ActionName would be logged just once, and not repeated on every subsequent log event)

you might also want a log4net equivalent of
https://stackoverflow.com/questions/49592351/redirect-all-nlog-output-to-serilog-with-a-custom-target too
dotnet tool then you have a single referenceable thing (which can ref other nugets)
Hi Team, I am new to Serilogs, while I am configuring the serilogs in core 3.0, I am experiencing a wired issue, I am trying to log the http events into console, but I can see the log on the console, only I stop the application, while it is running it does not log the http event to console, after I stop the application, it dump all the logs event to console .
please help me!
