serilog-settings-appsettings VS Serilog

The first thing you need to do is to remove the built-in .NET logging configuration from the appsettings.json file. This is because the Serilog uses a simple C# API to configure logging. If you still want to use an external appsettings.json file to configure Serilog then you have to download and use Serilog.Settings.AppSettings (.NET Framework) or Serilog.Settings.Configuration (.NET Core) packages. For now, I will configure Serilog using C# code so I am commenting on the following “Logging” section from the project appsettings.json file.

To learn more about Serilog, you can visit the documentation on their GitHub project. To learn more about Seq, you can visit the documentation on their website.

These projects use dependency injection for connections and have no logging although they are ready to log to the console via SeriLog setup in Program.cs.

See here: https://github.com/serilog/serilog/wiki/Configuration-Basics e.g.

Captured in public static void OnActivated() and note Log is SeriLog.

"Serilog": { "Using": [ "Serilog.Sinks.File" ], "Enrich": [ "WithHttpRequestId", "WithExceptionDetails", "WithClientIp" ], "MinimumLevel": { "Default": "Information" }, "WriteTo": [ { "Name": "File", "Args": { "path": "../../../../../Logs/MyApp/MyApp-.log", "rollingInterval": "Day", "retainedFileCountLimit": "7", "outputTemplate": "[{Timestamp:yyyy-MM-dd HH:mm:ss.fff zzz} {CorrelationId} {Level:u3}] {Username} {Message:lj}{NewLine}{Exception} {Properties:lj}{NewLine}" } } ] } 👆 I got the enricher names from serilog's wiki. The idea was to log the HTTPRequestId, ClientIp, and automagically log the details of every exception thrown (without having to do _logger.LogError(...)). However I don't see those details in the logs. In Program.cs: ``` var logger = new LoggerConfiguration() .ReadFrom.Configuration(builder.Configuration) .Enrich.FromLogContext() .CreateLogger();

You could also write a custom destructuring policy, assuming it's a flurl-specific public exception type and you only need certain properties of it. You'd implement IDestructuringPolicy and then add it to the configuration:

Serilog for logging

I've cloned https://github.com/serilog/serilog and I'm not sure what's going on with the multitargetting in the tests? Does this (below) mean, if the dev's OS is windows, then target framework 462 or 471? What should I do on my laptop, which only has the net6 and fw48 sdk installed?
