Serilog.Sinks.EventLog 5.0.0-dev-00091
Serilog.Sinks.EventLog
A Serilog sink that writes events to the Windows Event Log.
Important: version 3.0 of this sink changed the default value of manageEventSource from true to false. Applications that run with administrative privileges, and that can therefore create event sources on-the-fly, can opt in by providing manageEventSource: true as a configuration option.
Getting started
First, install the package from NuGet:
dotnet add package Serilog.Sinks.EventLog
The sink is configured by calling WriteTo.EventLog() on the LoggerConfiguration:
Log.Logger = new LoggerConfiguration()
.WriteTo.EventLog("Sample App", manageEventSource: true)
.CreateLogger();
Log.Information("Hello, Windows Event Log!");
Log.CloseAndFlush();
Events will appear under the Application log with the specified source name:
