Herald.Sinks.EventLog

Writes Herald log events to the Windows Event Log. Drop-in for Serilog.Sinks.EventLog — forwards level / category / message through EventLog.WriteEntry with a mapped EventLogEntryType. Windows-only; throws PlatformNotSupportedException on Linux and macOS.

Part of Herald — high-performance structured logging for .NET 8, 9, and 10.

Install

dotnet add package Herald.Sinks.EventLog

The sink auto-registers into LogSinkProviderRegistry.Default via a [ModuleInitializer] on assembly load. No manual RegisterAll(...) or With*SinkProviders() call is required — dotnet add package is the whole workflow.

Sink kind: event_log (the identifier the Dashboard form and JSON config use to reference this sink).

Capabilities

  • Maps Herald level to EventLogEntryType (Info / Warning / Error)
  • Truncates at Event Log's 31839-character message ceiling
  • [SupportedOSPlatform("windows")] compiler-enforced platform marker
  • Autocreate-on-first-write available via code-first ctor flag

Limitations

  • Windows-only — throws PlatformNotSupportedException elsewhere
  • Source must be pre-registered (admin-only operation)
  • Message ceiling is 31839 chars — longer events truncate silently
  • Synchronous Send — wrap with async decorator for heavy volume

Tier & runtime

  • Edition: Community — works on the free Apache 2.0 Herald.Core. No license key required.
  • AOT-compatible: yes
  • Targets: .NET 8 / 9 / 10
  • Thread safety: Thread-safe — EventLog.WriteEntry is internally synchronized.

Vendor

Microsoft — https://learn.microsoft.com/dotnet/api/system.diagnostics.eventlog

Configuration

Per-sink config form lives in configuration*.mmpform at the package root and inside the assembly as an embedded resource. The Herald Dashboard renders it at runtime; JSON config follows the same shape. See CAPABILITY.yaml shipped at the package root for the full manifest (schema reference: CAPABILITY-SCHEMA.md).
