CorrelationId is Null when using serilog enricher nuget package

Question

I wanted to populate a value for correlationId to my applicationInsights . Right now the value is null. I have installed the serilog.enrichers.correlationId nuget package and have services.AddHTTPContextAccessor in my startup.cs file, but still the value of correlationId is null. Am i Missing something?Any suggestions? I got the source from :- https://github.com/ekmsystems/serilog-enrichers-correlation-id

        Log.Logger = new LoggerConfiguration()
            .ReadFrom.Configuration(Configuration)
            .CreateLogger();

the above is my logger configuration in startup.cs. all the other enrichers that i defined in Enrich tag in appsettings.json are being populated but the correlation id is null.

Is there any progress? Could you pls accept my post as the answer if it's helpful to you? Any further questions can freely added here. Thanks in advance : ) — Tiny Wang, Jun 04 '21 at 02:15

Did you respect this? You need to call services.AddHttpContextAccessor(); https://github.com/ekmsystems/serilog-enrichers-correlation-id#:~:text=You%20need%20to%20register%20the%20IHttpContextAccessor%20singleton%20so%20that%20the%20enricher%20has%20access%20to%20the%20requests%20HttpContext%20so%20that%20it%20can%20attach%20the%20correlation%20ID%20to%20the%20request/response

In Net 6 I configured logging of CorrelationId this way:

Installed the packages Serilog.AspNetCore and Serilog.Enrichers.CorrelationId.
In Program.cs file I added:

Log.Logger = new LoggerConfiguration()
    .CreateLogger();
   
builder.Services.AddHttpContextAccessor();

builder.Host.UseSerilog((ctxt, cfg) => cfg
            .ReadFrom.Configuration(ctxt.Configuration));

And in appsettings.json file:

  "Serilog": {
    "Using": [ "Serilog.Sinks.Console" ],
    "Enrich": [ "WithCorrelationId" ],
    "MinimumLevel": {
      "Default": "Information",
      "Override": {
        "Microsoft": "Warning",
        "System": "Warning"
      }
    },
    "WriteTo": [
      {
        "Name": "Console",
        "Args": {
          "outputTemplate": "[{Timestamp:yyyy-MM-dd HH:mm:ss} | {CorrelationId} | {Level:u3}] {Message:lj}{NewLine}{Exception}"
        }
      }
    ]
  }

Example of using:

Log.Information("Starting of method GetPayments");

Here's my test result:

And what I did like below:

In my asp.net core application, install related packages first, then edit the Program.cs -> CreateHostBuilder ：

public static IHostBuilder CreateHostBuilder(string[] args) =>
            Host.CreateDefaultBuilder(args)
                .ConfigureWebHostDefaults(webBuilder =>
                {
                    webBuilder.UseStartup<Startup>();
                }).UseSerilog((hostingContext, loggerConfiguration) => loggerConfiguration
                    .ReadFrom.Configuration(hostingContext.Configuration).Enrich.WithCorrelationId()
                    .WriteTo.Console(outputTemplate: "[{Timestamp:HH:mm:ss} {CorrelationId} {Level:u3}] {Message:lj}{NewLine}{Exception}")
                    .WriteTo.ApplicationInsights(new TelemetryConfiguration { InstrumentationKey = "your_instrumentation_key" }, TelemetryConverter.Traces)
             );

My packages:

<Project Sdk="Microsoft.NET.Sdk.Web">

  <PropertyGroup>
    <TargetFramework>netcoreapp3.1</TargetFramework>
  </PropertyGroup>

  <ItemGroup>
    <PackageReference Include="Microsoft.ApplicationInsights.AspNetCore" Version="2.17.0" />
    <PackageReference Include="Serilog.AspNetCore" Version="4.1.0" />
    <PackageReference Include="Serilog.Enrichers.CorrelationId" Version="3.0.1" />
    <PackageReference Include="Serilog.Settings.Configuration" Version="3.1.0" />
    <PackageReference Include="Serilog.Sinks.ApplicationInsights" Version="3.1.0" />
  </ItemGroup>

</Project>
