I'm using Serilog to generate structured logs that I store on a central storage for processing later. I use JsonFormatter with renderMessage = true so I can read the logs when needed.
I'd like to be able to render the log the way Serilog does with MessageTemplateTextFormatter from the JSON formatted logs without using renderMessage = true so I can save some storage space.
Is there a way to parse data from the JSON-formatted entry and create a Serilog.Events.LogEvent that I can pass to MessageTemplateTextFormatter? Parsing the properties and exceptions and trying to re-create those objects is not possible currently. Or is there an external library that will take that data and generate a human-readable/formatted string? I know seq does this, but don't always want to load it into seq first if I am programmatically parsing and sending me a list of human-readable errors.
