A serilog sink that writes events to InfluxDB.

To use the InfluxDB sink, first install the Nugget package:

Install-Package Serilog.Sinks.InfluxDBv2

Then enable the sink using WriteTo.InfluxDBv2():

Log.Logger = new LoggerConfiguration()
  .WriteTo.InfluxDBv2("Api", "http://127.0.0.1:8086", "MyApplication", "MyAccessToken")
  .CreateLogger();

To use the console sink with Microsoft.Extensions.Configuration, for example with ASP.NET Core or .NET Core, use the Serilog.Settings.Configuration package. First install that package if you have not already done so:

Install-Package Serilog.Settings.Configuration

Instead of configuring the sink directly in code, call ReadFrom.Configuration():

var configuration = new ConfigurationBuilder()
  .AddJsonFile("appsettings.json")
  .Build();

var logger = new LoggerConfiguration()
  .ReadFrom.Configuration(configuration)
  .CreateLogger();

In your appsettings.json file, under the Serilog node, :

{
  "Serilog": {
    "WriteTo": [
      {
        "Name": "InfluxDBv2",
        "Args": {
          "source": "Api",
          "address": "http://127.0.0.1:8086",
          "bucket": "MyApplication",
          "token": "MyAccessToken"
        }
      }
    ]
  }
}
