Is there a way to do this? I would like to change the minimum level of logging by reading the setting off the appsettings.json
My code looks like this
Serilog.Log.Logger = new LoggerConfiguration()
.Enrich.WithExceptionDetails()
.MinimumLevel.Verbose()
.WriteTo.Console()
.Enrich.WithProperty("Application", applicationName)
.WriteTo.File(new JsonFormatter(renderMessage: true), "logs/myapp.txt", rollingInterval: RollingInterval.Day)
.CreateLogger();
I was able to accomplish this by using appsettings.json to define serilog settings and also using code to add a WriteTo method (I needed to do this in code because I am passing the renderMessage parameter to the constructor of JsonFormatter.
Here is what my appsettings.json looks like:
"Serilog": {
"Using": [],
"MinimumLevel": {
"Default": "Verbose"
},
"Enrich": [ "WithExceptionDetails" ],
"WriteTo": [
{
"Name": "Console"
}
],
"Properties": {
"Application": "Sample Application"
}
},
"LogsFilePath": "logs/myapp.txt",
"LogsRollingInterval": "Day"
And in my code I did this:
IConfigurationBuilder builder = new ConfigurationBuilder();
builder.AddJsonFile(Path.Combine(Directory.GetCurrentDirectory(), "appsettings.json"));
var config = builder.Build();
Serilog.Log.Logger = new LoggerConfiguration()
.ReadFrom.Configuration(config)
.WriteTo.File(new JsonFormatter(renderMessage: true),
config.GetSection("LogsFilePath").Value,
rollingInterval: (RollingInterval)Enum.Parse(typeof(RollingInterval), config.GetSection("LogsRollingInterval").Value))
.CreateLogger();
Refer below code to configure it using appsettings.json in .net core
return new LoggerConfiguration()
.WriteTo.File(path: _configuration.GetValue(Constants.SerilogFileConfigurations.Path, "Logs\\Log_.txt")!,
outputTemplate: _configuration.GetValue(Constants.SerilogFileConfigurations.OutputTemplate, defaultOutputTemplate)!,
retainedFileCountLimit: _configuration.GetValue(Constants.SerilogFileConfigurations.RetainedFileCountLimit, 5)!,
restrictedToMinimumLevel: Enum.TryParse(typeof(LogEventLevel), _configuration.GetValue(Constants.SerilogFileConfigurations.LogLevel, "Information"), out object? logLevel)
? (LogEventLevel)logLevel! : LogEventLevel.Information,
rollOnFileSizeLimit: true,
rollingInterval: RollingInterval.Day)
.MinimumLevel.Debug();
