How to get class + method information emitted to log #110

Closed sarchibald-mdsol closed 6 years ago

I'm used to using NLog, but the company at which I am working is using SeriLog. NLog has a layout render ${callsite} which will emit the class name + method name in the log automagically.

I see that SeriLog has {SourceContext}, but that only seems to list the class name. Is there a way to get both the class name and the method name?

Hi! We've been wary of the potential for performance issues and steered clear of this feature so far, but, it'd be interesting to try porting NLog's implementation to a Serilog ILogEventEnricher - perhaps something that could ship and be plugged in as an additional package? Let me know if you are keen to take a shot, happy to help out.

Cheers, Nick

There's now a sample enricher published for this; please see https://github.com/serilog/serilog/issues/1084 and feel free to add any feedback over there. Thanks!
