Serilog Sinks InfluxDB V2

A serilog sink that writes events to InfluxDB.

Getting started

To use the InfluxDB sink, first install the Nugget package:

Install-Package Serilog.Sinks.InfluxDBv2

Then enable the sink using WriteTo.InfluxDBv2():

Log.Logger = new LoggerConfiguration()
  .WriteTo.InfluxDBv2("Api", "http://127.0.0.1:8086", "MyApplication", "MyAccessToken")
  .CreateLogger();

Json appsettings.json configuration

To use the console sink with Microsoft.Extensions.Configuration, for example with ASP.NET Core or .NET Core, use the Serilog.Settings.Configuration package. First install that package if you have not already done so:

Install-Package Serilog.Settings.Configuration

Instead of configuring the sink directly in code, call ReadFrom.Configuration():

var configuration = new ConfigurationBuilder()
  .AddJsonFile("appsettings.json")
  .Build();

var logger = new LoggerConfiguration()
  .ReadFrom.Configuration(configuration)
  .CreateLogger();

In your appsettings.json file, under the Serilog node, :

{
  "Serilog": {
    "WriteTo": [
      {
        "Name": "InfluxDBv2",
        "Args": {
          "source": "Api",
          "address": "http://127.0.0.1:8086",
          "bucket": "MyApplication",
          "token": "MyAccessToken"
        }
      }
    ]
  }
}
