I am trying to add serilog to my api (asp net core) and I can not do it as I want. I have 2 examples: 1) This example works as I want, I only write in the ".txt" file what I need but I can not get it to work from a Controller
//Program.cs public static void Main(string[] args) { var logger = new LoggerConfiguration() .ReadFrom.Configuration(new ConfigurationBuilder() .AddJsonFile("appsettings.json") .Build()) .CreateLogger(); logger.Information("Hello, world!"); CreateWebHostBuilder(args).Build().Run(); } //Output
2018-07-02 18:17:18.210 -03:00 [INF] Hello, world! 2) This example works from a controller, but every time I want to write in the ".txt", it writes all the output of the VisualStudio console.
//Program.cs public static void Main(string[] args) { Log.Logger = new LoggerConfiguration() .ReadFrom.Configuration(new ConfigurationBuilder() .AddJsonFile("appsettings.json") .Build()) .CreateLogger(); CreateWebHostBuilder(args).Build().Run(); } //Startup.cs loggerFactory.AddSerilog(); //Controller private readonly ILogger<ValuesController> _logger; public ValuesController(ILogger<ValuesController> logger) { _logger = logger; } [HttpGet] public ActionResult<IEnumerable<string>> Get() { _logger.LogInformation("Test"); return new[] { "value1", "value2" }; }
