Serilog.Sinks.LiteDb.Async

A lightweight high performance Serilog sink that writes to LiteDb database.

Getting started

Install Serilog.Sinks.LiteDb.Async from NuGet

Install-Package Serilog.Sinks.LiteDb.Async

Configure logger

in the Program.cs:

        public static void Main(string[] args)
        {
            var configSettings = new ConfigurationBuilder()
                .AddJsonFile("appsettings.json")
                .Build();

            Log.Logger = new LoggerConfiguration()
                .MinimumLevel.Override("Microsoft", LogEventLevel.Information)
                .ReadFrom.Configuration(configSettings)
                .WriteTo.LiteDbAsync(configSettings.GetConnectionString("DefaultConnection")) // This line does active the db logging
                .CreateBootstrapLogger();
            
            Log.Information("Starting up!");

            try
            {
                CreateHostBuilder(args).Build().Run();

                Log.Information("Stopped cleanly");
            }
            catch (Exception ex)
            {
                Log.Fatal(ex, "An unhandled exception occured during bootstrapping");
                throw;
            }
            finally
            {
                Log.CloseAndFlush();
            }
        }

And

        public static IHostBuilder CreateHostBuilder(string[] args) =>
            Host.CreateDefaultBuilder(args)
                .UseSerilog() // This line activates Serilog
                .ConfigureWebHostDefaults(webBuilder => { webBuilder.UseStartup<Startup>(); });

You can also hardcode the connectionString:

    .WriteTo.LiteDbAsync("Filename=Database.db;Connection=shared;")
