Serilog

Configures Serilog with a console formatter that colors log output by level and by property. Property values can also carry a color code in the message template, so the parts of a line that matter can be made to stand out without string concatenation.

Registration is a single call, and configuration is optional: without an IConfiguration the package adds log-context enrichment and its asynchronous console sink, leaving everything else to Serilog's defaults.

Categories

• Configuration — optional Serilog settings read from appsettings.json.
• Formatter — the console output format, color codes, and template syntax.
• Extensions — registration for service collections and host builders.

Quick Example

Program.cs

using AlmightyShogun.Serilog;
using Microsoft.Extensions.DependencyInjection;

builder.Services.AddCustomLogging(builder.Configuration);

ImportWorker.cs

using Microsoft.Extensions.Hosting;
using Microsoft.Extensions.Logging;

public sealed class ImportWorker(
    ILogger<ImportWorker> logger
) : BackgroundService
{
    protected override Task ExecuteAsync(CancellationToken stoppingToken)
    {
        logger.LogInformation(
            "Imported {Count} rows in {Elapsed:N1|bg} ms",
            4218,
            92.47
        );

        return Task.CompletedTask;
    }
}
