More MVC serilog question

[Nicolas Tenoutasse]

Hello,

after 

loggerFactory.AddSerilog(Log.Logger);

How do you get it back from MVC?

of course, you get ILogger<XXXController> logger injected in your controller constructor but is there a way to get back a Serilog ILogger?

Hi Nicolas,

I think to do this you need to configure the Microsoft.Extensions.DependencyInjection system so that Serilog's ILogger is registered.

I haven't looked into how this should be done, but an example here does the same thing for Autofac: https://github.com/nblumhardt/autofac-serilog-integration/ - if you have a chance to try porting it, it'd be very interesting to hear about your experiences!

Regards,

Nick

One easy way to do get back the global Log.logger without access global vars directly is to do 

services.AddInstance<Serilog.ILogger>(Log.Logger);

in the ConfigureServices method and then require a Serilog.ILogger in the constructor but you don't get all the context...

Since there is no Serilog.Ilogger<> defined, you need much more effort to implement it I believe
