Add custom properties to Serilog

Question

I\'m using Serilog with an MS SQL Server sink in my application. Let\'s assume I have defined the following class ...

public class Person
{
  public string First         


        

Answer 1

If you're using the generic Microsoft ILogger interface you can use BeginScope;

using (_logger.BeginScope(new Dictionary { { "LogEventType", logEventType }, { "UserName",  userName } }))
{
    _logger.LogInformation(message, args);
}
