Configuration

Logging can optionally read Serilog settings from appsettings.json when AddCustomLogging receives an IConfiguration instance. The package always adds log-context enrichment and its custom asynchronous console sink; configuration can add or override extra Serilog behavior supported by Serilog.Settings.Configuration.

{
    "Serilog": {
        "MinimumLevel": {
            "Default": "Information",
            "Override": {
                "Microsoft": "Warning",
                "Microsoft.Hosting.Lifetime": "Information"
            }
        }
    }
}

TIP

This configuration is optional. AddCustomLogging always creates a Serilog logger with log-context enrichment and the package console formatter. Add the Serilog section only when the application needs to override levels or apply extra Serilog configuration from appsettings.json.
