Configure Serilog - SuperOffice

To get Serilog to write to a log file, we need to create a serilog.json file as described for the Serilog Configuration module.

{
  "Serilog": {
    "Using":  [ "Serilog.Sinks.File" ],
    "MinimumLevel": "Debug",
    "WriteTo": [
      { "Name": "File", "Args": {
        "path": "C:/Logs/serilog.txt", "rollingInterval": "Day"
      } }
    ]
  }
}

To turn off Serilog, you need to remove the Serilog DLLs.

Sinks

We are using the File sink to write logs to a file. If we restart CRM Web so it reloads the logging config, we should see log output appear in the log file C:/Logs/serilog-20210517.txt:

You can add other sinks to send logging information to other places, like Azure Application Insights, Elmah, DataDog, or Splunk.
