Add a reference to the Elastic.Serilog.Sinks package:

<PackageReference Include="Elastic.Serilog.Sinks" Version="8.6.0" />

There’s a few ways that you can extend a Serilog LoggerConfiguration:

Log.Logger = new LoggerConfiguration()
	.MinimumLevel.Debug()
	.Enrich.FromLogContext()

NOTE: Don’t forget we also publish an Elastic.Apm.SerilogEnricher for the Elastic APM Agent!

Writing to Elasticsearch

.WriteTo.Elasticsearch(new [] { new Uri("http://localhost:9200" )}, opts =>
{
	opts.DataStream = new DataStreamName("logs", "console-example", "demo");
	opts.BootstrapMethod = BootstrapMethod.Failure;
	opts.ConfigureChannel = channelOpts =>
	{
		channelOpts.BufferOptions = new BufferOptions
		{
			ConcurrentConsumers = 10
		};
	};
})

Writing to Elastic Cloud:

.WriteTo.ElasticCloud("cloudId", "cloudUser", "cloudPass", opts =>

opts is an instance of ElasticsearchSinkOptions with the following options

Note that you can also pass ElasticsearchSinkOptions directly

.WriteTo.Elasticsearch(new ElasticsearchSinkOptions(client.Transport))

This allows you to reuse the Transport used by the Elasticsearch Client for instance.

This sink by proxy of its formatter allows you to set ECS fields directly from the message template using properties that adhere to the https://messagetemplates.org/ format.

The available ECS message template properties are listed under LogTemplateProperties.* e.g LogTemplateProperties.TraceId

Log.Information("The time is {TraceId}", "my-trace-id");

Will override trace.id on the resulting ECS json document.
