Configure log level in appsettings.json?

[dasjestyr]

So I have signalR installed, and I my logsettings in appsettings.json are as follows:

"LogLevel": {
      "Default": "Information",
      "System": "Warning",
      "Microsoft": "Information"
    }

However, I'm getting spammed with VRB messages from signalR and it only goes away if I remove this serilog integration. Is there some other configuration step I'm missing?

[dasjestyr]

I just realized that I should be using Serilog.AspNetCore so I swapped out for that and have the same issue.

It looks like the SignalR team will be removing that spam, however I don't think that's the root of the problem. That log is being sent as a Trace which serilog is correctly outputting as Verbose. But if the minimum level is Information, then these shouldn't be getting through, so I'm not sure if I'm missing a configuration item somewhere.

Note: I did replace the "LogLevel" block with "Serilog" like so:

"Serilog": {
    "MinimumLevel": {
      "Default": "Information",
      "Override": {
        "Microsoft": "Information",
        "System": "Warning" 
      } 
    } 
  }

@dasjestyr thanks for the follow-up. Are the messages from SignalR correctly tagged with a Microsoft.* source context?

[dasjestyr]

I can't really tell. Do you know where I should look?

[nblumhardt]

Depends on where you're sending the events - if JSON, for example, they'll have a SourceContext property.

One other realisation - when you swapped to Serilog.AspNetCore, did you remove ConfigureLogging() and add UsingSerilog()? Otherwise these two package will behave the same way.

Closing this one as stale, but please let us know if you need any help with it :-)
