Serilog

The repository for these snippets can be found here: Krake.Snippets.Serilog

.NET Minimal API Project

Add these two Nuget packages to the .NET project.

dotnet add package Serilog.AspNetCore
dotnet add package Serilog.Sinks.Console

Afterwards setup Serilog in the Program.cs file.

Program.cs

using Serilog;

var builder = WebApplication.CreateBuilder(args);

Log.Logger = new LoggerConfiguration()
    .ReadFrom.Configuration(builder.Configuration)
    .CreateLogger();

builder.Host.UseSerilog(static (ctx, lc) => lc.ReadFrom.Configuration(ctx.Configuration)); // (1)
//builder.Services.AddSerilog(Log.Logger) // (2)

var app = builder.Build();

app.UseSerilogRequestLogging();

try
{
    app.Run();
}
finally
{
    Log.CloseAndFlush();
}

1. UseSerilog configures serilog as the only logging provider.
2. AddSerilog adds Serilog as one of potentially many logging providers.

Add the following section to the appsettings.[env].json configuration files and remove the default Logging section.

appsettings.json

        },
