Default formatter overrided by JSON formatter when using appsetting.json

[AdisonCavani]

I want to use JSON formatter in production, but preserve default formatter in development. In prod, everything is fine, but in development it's still using JSON formatter.

How can I use default formatter with this configuration?

I'm using this configuration files.

builder.Host.UseSerilog((ctx, cfg) => cfg.ReadFrom.Configuration(ctx.Configuration));

appsettings.json:

{
  "Serilog": {
    "Using": [ "Serilog.Sinks.Console" ],
    "MinimumLevel": {
      "Default": "Information"
    },
    "WriteTo": [
      {
        "Name": "Console",
        "Args": {
          "formatter": "Serilog.Formatting.Compact.RenderedCompactJsonFormatter, Serilog.Formatting.Compact"
        }
      }
    ],
    "Enrich": [ "FromLogContext", "WithThreadId" ]
  }
}

appsettings.development.json:

{
  "Serilog": {
    "Using": [ "Serilog.Sinks.Console" ],
    "MinimumLevel": {
      "Default": "Information"
    },
    "WriteTo": [
      {
        "Name": "Console"
      }
    ],
    "Enrich": [ "FromLogContext", "WithThreadId" ]
  }
}

The trick to successful dev/prod configuration with this library is not to put much (or anything at all) related to Serilog in appsettings.json. Rather, put full configurations in each of appsettings.Development.json and appsettings.Production.json. This will avoid a whole range of quirky interactions between the two setups.

Hope this helps, Nick

I managed to resolve the issue by adding default theme to args.
