● Provides diagnostic logging to files, the console, and elsewhere;
● Easy to set up
● Clean API
● Portable between recent .NET platforms
● Serilog is built with powerful structured event data in mind

8. But and others?

12. Getting Started
1. Installing from NuGet
a. PM> Install-Package Serilog
b. PM> Install-Package Serilog.Sinks.Console
2. Setup
a. using Serilog;
b. var log = new LoggerConfiguration().WriteTo.Console().CreateLogger();
3. log.Information("Hello, Serilog!");
4. Serilog is global, statically accessible logger, is set via Log.Logger and can
be invoked using the static methods on the Log class.
a. Log.Logger = log;
b. Log.Information("The global logger has been configured");
