    So far, I was only using the basic .NET logging infrastructure so it is now time to configure the Serilog library. Serilog can be downloaded and installed as a NuGet package and because I will be using Serilog in ASP.NET Core application in this tutorial so I will also install Serilog.AspNetCore package. I will also install Serilog.Sinks.File sink from Nuget as I want to show you how to log events to files later in this tutorial. You can download and install all of these packages using the NuGet Package Manager available in Visual Studio.

    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.
