Serilog RollingFile

Question

I am trying to use WriteTo.RollingFile with Serilog as the following:

var log = new LoggerConfiguration().WriteTo.RollingFile(
                    @\"F:\\log         


        

Answer 1

Here is a way to use Serilog with a web.config in an asp.net MVC 4/5 app.

In your web.config add the following:

Then in Application_Start of global.asax add the following:

// Get application base directory
string basedir = AppDomain.CurrentDomain.BaseDirectory;

// Setup Serilog for logging
Log.Logger = new LoggerConfiguration()
            .ReadFrom.AppSettings()
            .WriteTo.RollingFile(basedir + "/Logs/log-{Date}.txt")
            .CreateLogger();
