Is there a way to differentiate what level is logged between the different loggers for Serilog? I want to be able to log MinimumLevel Debug to the console output but only Warning and above to my file output. I am using ASP.NET Core 2.1 and this is what the appsetting.json currently looks like:
"Serilog": {
"Using": [ "Serilog.Sinks.Console" ],
"MinimumLevel": "Debug",
"WriteTo": [
{
"Name": "RollingFile",
"IsJson": true,
"Args": {
"pathFormat": "C:\\Logs\\Log-{Hour}.json",
"formatter": "Serilog.Formatting.Json.JsonFormatter, Serilog"
}
},
{
"Name": "Console"
}
]
},
Is it something like another parameter under "Args"? I've tried "minimumnLevel" in this location but it did not work.
The setting you're looking for is restrictedToMinimumLevel
. This GitHub issue shows some examples of this, but for your example, you just need to add restrictedToMinimumLevel
to your Args
for RollingFile
:
"Serilog": {
"Using": [ "Serilog.Sinks.Console" ],
"MinimumLevel": "Debug",
"WriteTo": [
{
"Name": "RollingFile",
"IsJson": true,
"Args": {
"pathFormat": "C:\\Logs\\Log-{Hour}.json",
"formatter": "Serilog.Formatting.Json.JsonFormatter, Serilog",
"restrictedToMinimumLevel": "Warning"
}
},
{
"Name": "Console"
}
]
},
