Is seq-forwarder a via way to introduce durable log shipping into Mobile Apps in C# #72

Open johnkattenhorn opened 6 months ago

Has anyone tried to implement durable log shipping to occasionally connected dotnet apps (specifically Uno Mobile Apps) using the seq-forwarder - would there be any advantage to doing this over using durable sink options from the seq sink ?

Hi John! I don't think Seq Forwarder will cut it in this scenario, it's really designed around running as a separate process with an HTTP API etc., which I'm guessing will be a challenge on mobile devices.

Does Serilog.Sinks.Seq's durable mode work for you, or would some alternative to the file-backed log buffer be needed?

Hi Nick,

I think it does for us internally as we are coming back to Seq as our observation platform.

I was forward planning when a client asks us to plug into one of their platforms of choice if we don’t manage the running environment for them as well.

I was kicking around this dump area of a durable wrapper sink which took another sink as an option and handled all of the offline / online but that’s duplication not just in the Seq sink but I think I remember back in the day we’ve got other syncs which also do some level of durability.

Seq Sink will do us for now I think – the current project I’m think of is 100% managed by us.

Great work mate – really enjoying the new work – just what we needed.

JK
