The Serilog Elasticsearch sink project is a sink (basically a writer) for the Serilog logging framework. Structured log events are written to sinks and each sink is responsible for writing it to its own backend, database, store etc. This sink delivers the data to Elasticsearch, a NoSQL search engine. It does this in a similar structure as Logstash and makes it easy to use Kibana for visualizing your logs.
- Simple configuration to get log events published to Elasticsearch. Only server address is needed.
- All properties are stored inside fields in ES. This allows you to query on all the relevant data but also run analytics over this data.
- Be able to customize the store; specify the index name being used, the serializer or the connections to the server (load balanced).
- Durable mode; store the logevents first on disk before delivering them to ES making sure you never miss events if you have trouble connecting to your ES cluster.
- Automatically create the right mappings for the best usage of the log events in ES.
- Basic information on how to configure and use this sink.
- Configuration options which you can use.
- How to use the durability mode.
- Accessing the logs using Kibana.
