Log event datetime with.Net Core Console logger

Question

I\'m using logging to Console output, that built-in to .Net Core framework. Here initialization of the logger:

var serviceCollection = new ServiceCollection();
s         


        

Answer 1

Built-in .NET Core console logger doesn't log date-time. Track this issue to get more details. The easiest workaround is:

logger.Log(LogLevel.Information, 1, someObj, null, (s, e) => DateTime.Now + " " + s.ToString());

I wrote a custom console logger to automatically log the timestamp and do other useful tricks:
