Log to Seq

[rlgordey]

We can output to NLog and Log4Net... why not Serilog or Seq directly?

I don't know, maybe because it should be very easy to setup a custom data provider or a dynamic data provider that uses serilog.

For example:

Audit.Core.Configuration.Setup()
    .UseDynamicProvider(_ => _.OnInsert(auditEvent =>
    {
        if (auditEvent.Environment.Exception != null)
        {
            Log.Error(auditEvent.ToJson());
        }
        else
        {
            Log.Information(auditEvent.ToJson());
        }
    }));

That worked very well.

Here is my config for Serilog that Logs to Seq:

.UseDynamicProvider(_ => _.OnInsert(auditEvent =>
      {
          if (auditEvent.Environment.Exception != null)
          {
              Log.ForContext<AuditEvent>().Error("Audit Exception in {CallingMethodName}: {Exception}", auditEvent.Environment.CallingMethodName, auditEvent.Environment.Exception);
          }
          else
          {
              using (LogContext.PushProperty("AuditEvent", auditEvent, destructureObjects: true))
              {
                  Log.ForContext<AuditEvent>().Information(
                      "Audit Event: {EventType} in {Duration}ms",
                      auditEvent.EventType, auditEvent.Duration);
              }
          }
      })

Which makes a nice Seq entry:

Let me know if you need any testers for .NET 6. Awesome project!
