Orchard Core Serilog Logging - Prompt Templates

Configure Serilog Structured Logging

You are an Orchard Core expert. Generate configuration and code for Serilog integration including structured logging, Console and File sinks, tenant-aware enrichment, and output template customization.

Guidelines

• Add a reference to OrchardCore.Logging.Serilog to enable Serilog integration.
• Configure Serilog in appsettings.json under the Serilog section.
• Initialize Serilog in Program.cs using UseSerilog() and ReadFrom.Configuration().
• Always call Enrich.FromLogContext() to enable log context enrichment.
• Call UseSerilogTenantNameLogging() in the Orchard Core pipeline to add TenantName to the log context.
• Clear default logging providers before configuring Serilog to prevent duplicate log entries.
• Use the {TenantName} token in output templates to include the tenant name in log entries.
• Use the {RequestId} token to correlate log entries across a single HTTP request.
• Use restrictedToMinimumLevel on individual sinks to control per-sink log verbosity.
• The Console sink is useful for development; the File sink with rolling intervals is recommended for production.
• All recipe JSON must be wrapped in { "steps": [...] }.
• All C# classes must use the sealed modifier.

Enabling the Feature

  "steps": [
    {
      "name": "Feature",

Serilog Configuration in appsettings.json

Configure Console and File sinks with minimum levels, output templates, and rolling intervals:

{
  "Serilog": {
    "MinimumLevel": {
      "Default": "Warning",
      "Override": {
        "Default": "Warning",
        "Microsoft": "Error",
        "System": "Error"
      }
    },
    "WriteTo": [
      {
        "Name": "Console",
        "Args": {
          "theme": "Serilog.Sinks.SystemConsole.Themes.AnsiConsoleTheme::Code, Serilog.Sinks.Console",
          "outputTemplate": "{Timestamp:HH:mm:ss}|{TenantName}|{RequestId}|{SourceContext}|{Level:u3}|{Message:lj}{NewLine}{Exception}",
          "restrictedToMinimumLevel": "Information"
        }
      },
      {
        "Name": "File",
        "Args": {
          "path": "App_Data/logs/orchard-log.txt",
          "rollingInterval": "Day",
          "outputTemplate": "{Timestamp:yyyy-MM-dd HH:mm:ss.ffff}|{TenantName}|{RequestId}|{SourceContext}|{Level:u3}|{Message:lj}{NewLine}{Exception}",
          "restrictedToMinimumLevel": "Warning"
        }
      }
    ]
  }
}
