        accessToken: "xxx.yyyyyy.zzzzz",
        ingestUrl: "https://{your-environment-id}.live.dynatrace.com/api/v2/logs/ingest")
    .CreateLogger();

var position = new { Latitude = 25, Longitude = 134 };
var elapsedMs = 34;
log.Information("Processed {@Position} in {Elapsed:000} ms.", position, elapsedMs);

Prints to Dynatrace Log Viewer:

application.id = unknown
attr.elapsed = 34
attr.position.latitude = 25
attr.position.longitude = 134
host.name = desktop-r9hnrih

dotnet add package Serilog.Settings.Configuration

Add UseSerilog to the Generic Host:

public static IHostBuilder CreateHostBuilder(string[] args) =>
    Host.CreateDefaultBuilder(args)
        .UseSerilog((context, services, logConfig) => 
            logConfig.ReadFrom.Configuration(context.Configuration))
        .ConfigureWebHostDefaults(webBuilder => {
            webBuilder.UseStartup<Startup>();
        });

Add to appsettings.json configuration:

{
    "Serilog": {
        "Using": [ "Serilog.Sinks.Dynatrace" ],
        "MinimumLevel": "Information",
        "WriteTo": [{

        }]
    }
}

public class HomeController : Controller
{
    private readonly ILogger _logger;

    public HomeController(ILogger<HomeController> logger) { _logger = logger; }

    public IActionResult Index()
    {
        _logger.LogInformation("Processed {@Position} in {Elapsed:000} ms.", new { Latitude = 25, Longitude = 134 }, 34);
        return View();
