Output format

Format of the console and file sinks:

  • Text (default) — text rendered by OutputTemplate or the built-in template.
  • Json — one line of compact JSON (CLEF) per event, written by RenderedCompactJsonFormatter from Serilog.Formatting.Compact. OutputTemplate is ignored. A multi-line exception stays inside one line, so a container log collector keeps the event as a single record.

The fields of a JSON event:

Field Value
@t Timestamp, ISO 8601 in UTC
@m Rendered message
@i Event id: hash of the message template
@l Level; omitted for Information
@x Exception with stack trace, if any
@tr, @sp Trace id and span id of Activity.Current when the event was written, if any
other Event properties: template values, SourceContext, log context and scopes (RequestId in ASP.NET Core), ThreadId, MachineName, Application

Unlike {Message:lj} of the text templates, @m puts string values in quotes: User "John" signed in. A template that already quotes a placeholder gets doubled quotes. Numbers and dates in @m use the invariant culture, as in the text output. The values themselves are also written as separate properties.

The file sink keeps buffering, daily rolling and the retention limit in both formats.

How to use

var builder = WebApplication.CreateBuilder(args);

builder.Host.UseSerilog((context, loggerConfiguration) =>
{
    loggerConfiguration.ConfigureLogging(context.Configuration.GetSection("LogsSettings"));
});
