Hi. I have successfully added Serilog to my ASP.NET Core project and am using the RollingFile sink. This captures all messages from my application as well as messages from the .NET framework. I have not been able to figure out how to exclude messages that are not from my own application code. I am aware of Filter.ByIncludingOnly and Filter.ByExcluding, but I am not sure how this can be used to accomplish my scenario or if there is another way to go about it. What is the proper way to configure Serilog to only capture log messages from my own application code? Thanks.

Hello Justin,

.Filter.ByExcluding(Matching.FromSource("Microsoft"))

should cover it.

The other option, depending on your preferences, is to use Serilog directly from your code, and only hook up Serilog.Extensions.Logging when/if you need events from the framework.

Let me know how you go! :-)

Cheers,
Nick

The filter worked perfectly. I just had to add "using Serilog.Filters" Thanks Nick!
