Sentry.Serilog: Enable Structured Logging

[Mike-E-angelo]

I am investigating Sentry for structured logging. Currently we use Serilog and I have incorporated the Sentry.Serilog 5.14.1 NuGet package.

The problem I am having now is enabling structured logggng through appSettings.json. For the Sentry call, there's a really nice description of all the settings as such:

    /// <example>This sample shows how each item may be set from within a configuration file:
    /// <code>
    /// {
    ///     "Serilog": {
    ///         "Using": [
    ///             "Serilog",
    ///             "Sentry",
    ///         ],
    ///         "WriteTo": [{
    ///                 "Name": "Sentry",
    ///                 "Args": {
    ///                     "dsn": "https://[email protected]",
    ///                     "minimumBreadcrumbLevel": "Verbose",
    ///                     "minimumEventLevel": "Error",
    ///                     "outputTemplate": "{Timestamp:o} [{Level:u3}] ({Application}/{MachineName}/{ThreadId}) {Message}{NewLine}{Exception}"///
    ///                     "sendDefaultPii": false,

...

However, I do not see anything for the SentrySerilogOptions.Experimental.EnableLogs property. How do I set this property via appSettings.json as described above?

Thank you for any assistance or guidance you can provide.

@Mike-E-angelo the Serilog implementation hasn't yet been merged into main:

• feat: add Serilog integration #4462

You could use it but you'd have to build from source, using that branch. It's probably not that far away from experimental release though (@Flash0ver does ~1 week sound realistic)?

Wow, yes, that would be most valuable, thank you for your efforts! 🙏

Included in Release: 5.16.0
Please let us know what you think and how it works for your scenarios.

It works! A quick note that I was able to get 5.16.0 up and running with my ASP.NET Core project, and it worked the first time. Amazing. Thank you so very very much for your efforts out there. This has greatly simplified my deployments and will save me some money when deploying to Azure. 🙏🙏🙏
