Placeholder for MachineName in path property

[sascha-andres]

I try to configure Serlog in the appsettings to have the machinename as part of the logfile name. Unfortunately {MachineName} does not get replaced.

Bachground: I only have a common place to write logs to (on a network share) but scaling backend servers. Is there any way to do this using configuration

Thanks in advance

Hi @sascha-andres ,

Sorry for the slow response.
You can use environment variables that will be expanded at startup:

"path": "../%COMPUTERNAME%/Logs/app.log"
