Quick Setup — JSON

Add to appsettings.json:

{
  "LoggerHelper": {
    "ApplicationName": "MyApp",
    "Routes": [
      { "Sink": "Console", "Levels": ["Debug", "Information", "Warning", "Error", "Fatal"] }
    ],
    "Sinks": {
      "Console": {
        "OutputTemplate": "[{Timestamp:HH:mm:ss} {Level:u3}] {Message}{NewLine}{Exception}"
      }
    }
  }
}

// Program.cs
builder.Services.AddLoggerHelper(builder.Configuration);

var app = builder.Build();
app.UseLoggerHelper();   // ← required: activates sinks and registers middleware

Sinks.Console is optional. If omitted, the default template [HH:mm:ss Level] Message is used.

Quick Setup — Fluent API

builder.Services.AddLoggerHelper(b => b
    .WithApplicationName("MyApp")
    .AddRoute("Console", LogEventLevel.Debug, LogEventLevel.Information, LogEventLevel.Warning, LogEventLevel.Error, LogEventLevel.Fatal)
    .ConfigureConsole(c => c.OutputTemplate = "[{Timestamp:HH:mm:ss} {Level:u3}] {Message}{NewLine}{Exception}")
);

var app = builder.Build();
app.UseLoggerHelper();   // ← required

What You'll See

Each line is printed in color according to the log level:

[14:23:01 INF] Application started
[14:23:02 WRN] Retry attempt 1 for endpoint /api/orders
[14:23:03 ERR] Unhandled exception: Connection refused

Default template (no OutputTemplate configured):

[14:23:01 Information] Application started

Configuration Options

Property	Type	Default	Description
`OutputTemplate`	`string?`	`null`	Serilog output template. Supports all Serilog tokens (`{Level}`, `{Message}`, `{Exception}`, `{Properties}`, etc.). When `null`, uses `[HH:mm:ss Level] Message`.

Color Mapping

Level	Console Color
Verbose	DarkGray
Debug	Gray
Information	Blue
Warning	DarkYellow
Error	Red
Fatal	DarkRed

Colors are applied per-line and reset automatically after each message.

Troubleshooting

Symptom	Likely Cause	Fix
No output at all	`app.UseLoggerHelper()` missing	Add it after `builder.Build()`
Custom template not applied	App not restarted after config change	Restart the process — configuration is read at startup
No colors in CI/Docker	Terminal does not support ANSI	Expected behavior in non-interactive terminals; output is still written
`Debug` lines missing	`Debug` not included in `Levels`	Add `"Debug"` to the `Routes` array for this sink
