Pocok.AppDefaults.Logging

Pocok.AppDefaults.Logging applies a small, repeatable baseline to Microsoft.Extensions.Logging without replacing the framework or owning any sink.

var builder = Host.CreateApplicationBuilder(args);

builder.AddPocokLoggingDefaults(options =>
{
    options.CategoryMinimumLevels["Microsoft"] = LogLevel.Warning;
});

Configuration is read first from Pocok:Logging, then the optional delegate is applied. The resolved startup policy is available through IOptions<LoggingDefaultsOptions>. Defaults add trace and span correlation and no global filtering. Existing providers are preserved unless ClearProviders is explicitly enabled.

Simple-console registration is disabled by default because the standard application host already registers logging providers. Enable AddSimpleConsole only when the composition root deliberately owns that provider, commonly together with ClearProviders. The package never chooses a file, network endpoint, or third-party sink.

Applying the configurator more than once to the same builder throws InvalidOperationException. This makes conflicting composition visible instead of silently ignoring the later options. Application registrations made after these defaults remain authoritative where the standard logging builder uses last-registration or ordered-filter semantics.

Serilog-specific integration belongs to Pocok.AppDefaults.Logging.Serilog.

Example configuration:

{
  "Pocok": {
    "Logging": {
      "AddSimpleConsole": false,
      "MinimumLevel": "Information",
      "CategoryMinimumLevels": {
        "Microsoft": "Warning"
      }
    }
  }
}
