   Issues, design discussions and feature roadmap for the Seq log server

   

   Seq has a free and pro license, and as stated on their GitHub you can use Seq in development and in production as long as you meet the "Individual" requirements.

   Simple .NET logging with fully-structured events

   

   Add the Serilog logging package to both microservices.

   CNCF Jaeger, a Distributed Tracing Platform

   

   Previously I was using Jaeger - one of the most popular services for distributed tracing. But now, Seq allows viewing logs and traces in one place, so I find it more handy than having 2 separate services for logs and distributed traces.

   A Serilog sink that writes events to the Seq structured log server

   

   Seq is a centralized log server that allows you to collect and analyze structured log events. It provides powerful querying capabilities and a user-friendly interface to visualize logs and traces. Starting from version 2024.1, Seq fully supports distributed tracing, including OpenTelemetry trace ingestion, trace indexing, and hierarchical trace visualization.
