SYSTEM DOCUMENTATION & REQUIREMENTS

💡 This Skill includes references (resource) components.

What problem does it solve?

VanDaemon often runs in production environments where observability is essential. This skill provides structured logging with configurable sinks to improve log readability, searchability, and context enrichment.

Core Features & Use Cases

  • Structured logging with semantic templates using Serilog.
  • Multiple sinks (Console and File) with rolling logs and enrichment context.
  • Quick correlation and troubleshooting via automatic context enrichment.

Quick Start

Configure Serilog in Program.cs by building a LoggerConfiguration and calling UseSerilog on the host, then run the application to start structured logging.

FAQPage Schema
How do I configure structured logging for a dotnet application using Serilog?

To configure structured logging with Serilog, build a LoggerConfiguration in Program.cs and call UseSerilog on the host. This captures semantic events and writes them to console and rolling file sinks.

What is structured logging and why do I need it for production environments?

Structured logging captures semantic events with context enrichment, improving log readability and searchability. It is needed in production environments to enable quick correlation and troubleshooting of application issues.

Can I use Serilog console and rolling file sinks together in the same configuration?

Yes, you can configure multiple sinks together. The LoggerConfiguration supports writing enriched semantic events to both Console and rolling File sinks simultaneously for development and production scenarios.

Do I need specific Serilog packages to enable context enrichment in my logs?

Yes, context enrichment requires specific Serilog packages. You must install the necessary Serilog dependencies and integrate them via UseSerilog with enrichment configuration in Program.cs.

What is the best way to capture semantic events in a dotnet application?

The best way to capture semantic events is using structured logging with Serilog. It applies semantic templates and automatic context enrichment to log events, writing them to configured sinks like console and rolling files.
