GiG.Core.Logging.Sinks.Fluentd

This Library provides an API to register Logging to Fluentd using Serilog for an application.

Pre-requisites

• GiG.Core.Logging

Basic Usage

Make use of ConfigureLogging(x => x.WriteToFluentd()) when creating an IHostBuilder. Logging requires configuration.

static class Program
{
    public static void Main()
    {
        CreateHostBuilder().Build().Run();
    }

    private static IHostBuilder CreateHostBuilder()
    {
        return Host
            .CreateDefaultBuilder()
            .ConfigureLogging(x => x.WriteToFluentd());
    }
}
