In this blog post I am going to look into logging and more specifically into structured Logging. There is no need to stress how important logging is in any .Net application. I am going to talk about structured Logging with Serilog and Seq. I am going to create an ASP.Net Core application to demonstrate logging with Serilog. Let me give you a definition what structured logging is before we go any further. Structured logging is a way of logging where instead of writing just plain text data to our log files we actually write meaningful log data by writing properties that are relevant to our application and values for those properties. This is a huge plus because now that we have structured data we can go on and write queries against. Logging to a text file, we log all sorts of information. We have different levels of information like warnings, errors, critical messages e.t.c. Ιn order to get some meaningful information out of it we have to use external tools or use regular expressions. In many cases we have logged data which is written in many log files.
