ntroduction
Logging is an essential aspect of application development, offering insights into application behavior and performance. However, logging sensitive data like passwords or personal information can pose security risks. In this blog post, we'll delve into implementing structured logging with Serilog and sanitizing sensitive data before logging it, utilizing the Console sink as an example.
Overview of Structured Logging
Structured logging entails logging data in a structured format, typically as key-value pairs. This format enhances searchability, filtering, and analysis of log data compared to traditional plain text logging.
The source code can be downloaded from GitHub
Introduction to Serilog
Serilog is a popular logging library for .NET, supporting structured logging out of the box. It offers a versatile configuration API and various sinks for directing log data to different destinations.
Setting up Serilog with Console Sink
The Console sink is a straightforward sink provided by Serilog for logging to the console. It is commonly used during development or debugging. Setting up Serilog with the Console sink requires minimal configuration.
Install packages Serilog and Serilog.Sinks.Console
