project on ASP NET CORE WEB API. dot net version: 6
I decided to use Serilog for logging and I want the logs to be written to a file and also to have the config read from the Json file
Here is what I have:
{
"Name": "Logger",
"Args": {
"formatter": "Serilog.Formatting.Compact.CompactJsonFormatter, Serilog.Formatting.Compact",
"configureLogger": {
"WriteTo": [
{
"Name": "File",
"Args": {
"path": "C:\\LogFiles\\{yyyy-MM-dd}\\server.log",
"rollingInterval": "Day",
"rollOnFileSizeLimit": true,
"fileSizeLimitBytes": 100000000,
"retainedFileCountLimit": null,
"shared": true,
"outputTemplate": "{Timestamp:yyyy-MM-dd HH:mm:ss.fff}|{Level:u3}|{CorrelationId}| {Message:lj}{NewLine}{Exception}"
}
}
]
}
}
}
Used libraries:
<PackageReference Include="Serilog.AspNetCore" Version="6.1.0" />
<PackageReference Include="Serilog.Enrichers.CorrelationId" Version="3.0.1" />
<PackageReference Include="Serilog.Enrichers.Environment" Version="2.2.0" />
<PackageReference Include="Serilog.Expressions" Version="3.4.1" />
<PackageReference Include="Serilog.Extensions.Logging" Version="3.1.0" />
<PackageReference Include="Serilog.Formatting.Compact" Version="1.1.1-dev-00944" />
<PackageReference Include="Serilog.Settings.Configuration" Version="3.4.0" />
<PackageReference Include="Serilog.Sinks.Console" Version="4.1.0" />
<PackageReference Include="Serilog.Sinks.File" Version="5.0.0" />
connecting the serilog json file to the project:
var builder = WebApplication.CreateBuilder(args);
builder.Configuration.AddJsonFile("serilog.json", true, false);
Log.Logger = new LoggerConfiguration()
.ReadFrom.Configuration(configuration)
.Enrich.FromLogContext()
.Enrich.WithCorrelationIdHeader(StringConstants.CorrelationId)
.CreateLogger();
builder.Host.UseSerilog();
Here, as you can see, the path contains {yyyy-MM-dd}, but it doesn't work. 'RollingInterval: Day' is only applied to the file, that is, files are created by date(server20230223.log), and I need files to be created inside a directory that is grouped by date (2023-01-23\server.log)
Is it possible to do this through the config file of the serilog?
