jstemerdink / epi.libraries.logging.serilog Goto Github PK

Hi,

I tried today to use log with placeholders (or structured logging as well) in EpiServer Serilog and I figured it doesn't support it. Sorry if I am posting this in the wrong place, but I was wondering if there's anything to make it support placeholders. I need it for having new fields in the json which is generated and sent to logstash/kibana.

By placeholders I mean something like this:

string test = "message";
logger.Information("{test}", message);

There's no Information (or Error, Debug) method accepting this kind of property.

Thanks in advance and sorry if I'm posting this in the incorrect place.

When using EPiServer 10.10.0 (or maybe even earlier versions) the LoggerFactory will not remain set on the EPiServer.Logging.LogManager. When resolving the EPiServer.Logging.ILogger it will now resolve the EPiServerLazyLogger. However, when registering it using the appsettings or loggerFactoryType attribute on the episerver.framework section it does work.

<appSettings>
     <add key="episerver:LoggerFactoryType" value="EPi.Libraries.Logging.Serilog.SeriLoggerFactory, EPi.Libraries.Logging.Serilog" />
</appSettings>

or

<episerver.framework loggerFactoryType="EPi.Libraries.Logging.Serilog.SeriLoggerFactory, EPi.Libraries.Logging.Serilog">

I propose a change to remove the SeriLoggerFactory registeration with the EPiServer.Logging.LogManager from the InitializableModule and update the documentation to register the SeriLoggerFactory using the configuration as stated above.

Will make PR when I have the time (probably this weekend or so).

Hi, jstemerdink,
I have the following cases:

1. Today I installed your packages in my EpiServer project and after update with the new versions of Serilog 2.6.0, I stopped receiving records in my log-file. Before that it worked fine.
2. When I removed EpiServer.Logging.Log4net I also stopped receiving records in my log-file.

I would like to use Serilog and JSON format with your libraries in my project. Could you tell me please what can I do to achieve my aim?

Thank you very much!
