GnomeStack.CommandLine.Serilog

Provides extension methods for Serilog LoggerConfiguration to enable logging to the console and to a file.

There is an extension method that uses Serilog expressions to omit logging formatting for "Information" level messages to the console logger. This is useful for logging to the console in a way that is easy to read and to log to a file in a way that is easy to parse.

It will use the args from the Main method to determine the log level by looking for flags like "--trace", "--debug" and "--verbose" and set the log level for the console logger.

In the future, the library may emmit the extension methods in a given requiring a hard dependency on the library.

Usage Examples

var config = new LoggerConfiguration() .UseMicrosoftFilter() // filters out Microsoft and System messages .UseConsoleExpression(args, theme: TemplateTheme.Code) // uses an expression to omit formatting for Information messages .UseFileLog("/path/to/logs"); // this will create two log files. One for errors and one for the rest of the messages. var log = config.Build();
