serilog/serilog

Features

• Application Event Recording - Records application events as rich, structured data objects instead of plain text strings to enable precise querying and analysis.
• Structured Logging - Records application events as rich data objects instead of plain text to enable precise querying and analysis.
• Event Pipelines - Implements a routing system that filters, enriches, and directs log events to multiple external storage sinks.
• Structured Logging Libraries - A logging framework for .NET applications that records events as data objects instead of plain text strings.
• Log Event Enrichment - Implements a mechanism to dynamically add contextual properties, such as version numbers, to log events before they are emitted.
• Application Log Routing - Directs structured logs to multiple destinations through a configurable routing pipeline.
• Contextual Logging - Provides mechanisms for adding dynamic metadata and contextual properties to logs for improved traceability.
• Contextual Logging Scopes - Provides a stack-based approach to attach temporary properties to all logs generated within a specific execution block.
• Log Sinks - Dispatches processed log events to a series of pluggable output destinations for storage or display.
• Logging and Telemetry - Adds dynamic metadata and contextual properties to log events to improve traceability in complex systems.
• Event Persistence - Sends structured log events to cloud services, databases, files, and consoles for permanent record keeping.
• Structured Message Templates - Captures events as data objects by parsing named placeholders in strings to maintain separate property values.
• Logging Frameworks - Emits the same log stream to diverse destinations like files, consoles, and cloud databases via a multi-sink framework.
• Telemetry Property Enrichment - Injects dynamic metadata into log events using provider functions to attach execution context.
• Event Filtering Rules - Processes log events through a sequence of filters and switches to determine if an event should be routed or dropped.
• Log Pipeline Definitions - Provides a system for defining how events are filtered, formatted, and routed via configuration files or programming syntax.
• Log Event Filters - Provides a routing system to filter log events based on property values to control the volume and type of recorded data.
• Severity Level Filtering - Controls log volume by filtering out messages that do not meet a specified minimum severity level.
• Logger Hierarchies - Implements a hierarchical logger structure that allows events to delegate to child pipelines for granular control.
• Logging Pipelines - Defines how events are filtered, formatted, and routed using external configuration files or programmatic syntax.
• Nested Pipelines - Allows the definition of sub-loggers with independent filters and sinks for granular control over event handling.
• Application Logging Configurations - Provides mechanisms for setting logging behavior, severity levels, and destinations using external configuration files.
• Event Contextualization - Augments log events with consistent system-level metadata such as thread IDs, machine names, and process IDs.
• Logging - Structured logging library for .NET.
• Logging and Monitoring - Structured diagnostic logging library for modern applications.
• Logging Frameworks - Diagnostic logging library with structured data support.
