Serilog.Sinks.NewRelicLab.Logs

A serilog sink that sends logs to New Relic Logs

Note: This is an unofficial package. Since this is an experimental library, please consider using more robust log shipping method (e.g. fluentd).

Requirements

• New Relic Logs subscription (License Key or Insert API key is required)
• New Relic APM subscription if you’d like to enable Logs in Context
• Serilog 2.5.0 or above (Serilog will be installed as one of dependencies)

Usage

1. Add Serilog.Sinks.NewRelicLab.Logs package.

2. Use NewRelicLogs() extentione method to configure. Here is an example code using with ASP.NET Core.

   using NewRelic.LogEnrichers.Serilog; //This using is required for `WithNewRelicLogsInContext` method.
   using Serilog.Sinks.NewRelicLab.Logs;

   Log.Logger = new LoggerConfiguration()
   .Enrich.FromLogContext()
   .Enrich.WithNewRelicLogsInContext()
   .WriteTo.NewRelicLogs()
   .CreateLogger();

3. Add one of the following ENVIRONMENT VARIABLE to start the process: NEW_RELIC_LICENSE_KEY is for a New Relic License Key, or NEW_RELIC_INSERT_KEY is for an Insert API key.

4. Output your log with Serilog.

   Serilog.Log.Information("Web Host launched!");

5. You will see your log in New Relic Logs.
