Configuring loglevel of custom ILogger

Question

I'm attempting to configure the loglevel of a custom ILogger<T> through configuration. Is this easily possible? I want to restrict logging for this specific handler without touching any general settings.

In my custom case I'm injecting an ILogger<DataHandledLoggingHandler> into my class, and would like to disable it in certain environments. What I assumed should work is to add a key "DataHandledLoggingHandler" to the Logging.LogLevel section of appsettings.json, to e.g. "None". However, I still see Warnings in my log sink. My appsetting.Development.json would look like this:

{
  "Logging": {
    "LogLevel": {
        "Default": "Information",
        "Microsoft.AspNetCore": "Warning",
        "DataHandledLoggingHandler": "None",
    }
 ...

I've also attempted the fully qualified name including namespace, but still no luck, logging still takes place.

I do use Serilog with Seq and Console sink right now, but got it hooked up to ILogger through the Serilog.Extensions.Logging package

Try adding the scopes to e.g. SimpleConsole logger. You can then see what the incoming log source is for your message. `services.AddLogging(builder => builder.AddSimpleConsole(opt => opt.IncludeScopes = true))` — Nsevens, Jan 12 '23 at 13:36

First of all there is no None option in Serilog's LogEventLevel enum. Try using Fatal for testing purposes. Also try specifying fully qualified name for DataHandledLoggingHandler (i.e. with full namespace - SomeThing.Something1....DataHandledLoggingHandler).

If this works but Fatal is not enough then you will need to resort to setting up this via code - see this answer.

Thanks! What also worked for me in the end was to use SeriLog.MinimumLevel in my json instead of Logging.LogLevel – Sossenbinder Jan 12 '23 at 14:06
