Currently, I am using azure application insights directly for logging as given in this link Use latest version of Application Insight with .net core API and everything is working fine.
But I need to use the serilog for logging now with the help of azure application insight. Even I do some R&D about serilog (https://github.com/serilog/serilog-sinks-applicationinsights). But didn't get any idea. Could you please suggest me that how can we achieve that with the .Net core 3.0
Please follow the steps below:
First, in stall the following packages:
Microsoft.ApplicationInsights.AspNetCore, version 2.14.0
Serilog.AspNetCore, version 3.2.0
Serilog.Sinks.ApplicationInsights, version 3.1.0
Serilog.Settings.Configuration, version 3.1.0
In Program.cs:
public class Program
{
public static void Main(string[] args)
{
CreateHostBuilder(args).Build().Run();
}
public static IHostBuilder CreateHostBuilder(string[] args) =>
Host.CreateDefaultBuilder(args)
.ConfigureWebHostDefaults(webBuilder =>
{
webBuilder.UseStartup<Startup>();
})
.UseSerilog((hostingContext, loggerConfiguration) => loggerConfiguration
.ReadFrom.Configuration(hostingContext.Configuration)
.WriteTo.ApplicationInsights(new TelemetryConfiguration{ ConnectionString = "xxxxxxxxx" },TelemetryConverter.Traces)
);
}
In controller.cs:
The test result:
Here is information how to setup app configuration for asp net core, but it for v6.x
https://learn.microsoft.com/en-us/azure/azure-monitor/app/asp-net-core?tabs=netcorenew%2Cnetcore6
appsettings.json (example)
{
"Logging": {
"LogLevel": {
"Default": "Information",
"Microsoft.AspNetCore": "Warning"
}
},
"AllowedHosts": "*",
"ApplicationInsights": {
"ConnectionString": "Copy connection string from Application Insights Resource Overview"
}
}
