Console and Seq transporter in combination #19

Open invariants opened 3 months ago

invariants commented 3 months ago

Hi,

i am a new user of the Seq Server and i am confused how to have structured logging to Seq while also having useful console log messages. Using the provided examples i can now log something like log.info("Hello {planet}", {planet}) to Seq as "Hello Earth". But this of course dosn't work with the normal console transporter and is then logged to console as "Hello {planet}".

On the other hand log.info(`Hello ${planet}`) wont be logged structurally to Seq. Is there an easy way to have both?

Regards

Winston doesn't support message templates or any other standard that would do what you want. The best console output I can get is:

info: Hello {planet} { "planet": "World" }

Probably this could be fixed with another custom transport.
