Serilog

Try it in 3 steps

1. 1

   Create a .NET 8 console project

   With the .NET 8 SDK in a POSIX shell on macOS or Linux, or in Git Bash or WSL on Windows, create a disposable project and enter it. Continue in the same terminal and working directory.

   dotnet new console -n serilog-demo --framework net8.0 && cd serilog-demoCopy
2. 2

   Add fixed core and console sink releases

   Add the reviewed Serilog core and console sink versions from NuGet.

   dotnet add package Serilog --version 4.4.0 && dotnet add package Serilog.Sinks.Console --version 6.1.1Copy
3. 3

   Emit and verify a structured event

   Write Program.cs with LF line endings, emit an event with a named Count property, and verify its rendered output. The command changes local files only.

   printf '%s\n' 'using Serilog;' '' 'Log.Logger = new LoggerConfiguration().WriteTo.Console().CreateLogger();' 'Log.Information("Processed {Count} items", 3);' 'Log.CloseAndFlush();' > Program.cs && dotnet run | tee output.txt && grep -F 'Processed 3 items' output.txtCopy
