How to escape dot in .NET configuration via Azure Key Vault

Question

I need to override application configuration via Key Vault:

{
  "Serilog": {
    "MinimumLevel": {
      "Override": {
        "Microsoft.EntityFrameworkCore.Database.Command": "Warning"
      }
    }
  }
}

For hierarchy I need to use --, but Azure Key Vault does not allow to use dot in secret names, so I can't find away to provide namespace:

Serilog - MinimumLevel - Override - Microsoft?EntityFrameworkCore?Database?Command

Any ideas?

Did you try replacing . with -- or __, refer stackoverflow.com/a/68224001/19991670? — Pravallika KV

@PravallikaKV yes, unfortunately underscore is not allowed and hyphen is not working — Uriil

Azure Key Vault is not designed to hold configuration settings. It is designed to secure store sensitive information.

As far as I can tell Serilog configuration is not sensitive information, thus you should be either using Azure App Configuration for centralized configuration or environment variables.
