Modern Structured Logging With Serilog and Seq

Pluralsight

Course Summary

Make your logs work for you and go beyond unstructured textual logs to create modern log information with rich, structured, queryable log data.

Course Description

Logging is an essential part of any application. When we are investigating problems or looking for patterns in our systems, we want our log data to be easy to query. Serilog empowers us to log meaningful, rich data that enables us to write complex queries and save time diagnosing faults. Serilog also has low up-front implementation cost with a clean, simple API.
