Shared File Option

[HendrikKoelbel]

Is there a way to integrate the "shared" feature of LiteDB into this Serilog package? Possibly an option like serilog-sinks-async as can be seen in the picture.

One option, for example, would be this:

Log.Logger = new LoggerConfiguration()
                       .WriteTo.LiteDB("C:\\Users\\XXX\\log.db", shared: true)
                       .CreateLogger();

So that you can access the DB with another task while something is logged and reflect it in a LogViewer.

LiteDB shared connection is supported by pass connectionString, please look here: https://github.com/mbdavid/LiteDB/issues/1453#issuecomment-583781574

using var db = new LiteDatabase(@"Filename=database.db;Password='1234';connection=shared");

relevant code of Serilog.Sinks.LiteDB as below:

• new LiteDB.LiteDatabase(
  • Serilog.Sinks.LiteDB.FileRoller.GetFilename(
    • Serilog.Sinks.LiteDB.ConnectionStringParser.Parse (connectionString)))

so , we can config Serilog.Sinks.LiteDB as below:

// use LiteDB shared Connection mode
var logFile = @"c:\tmp\logs.db";
var log = new LoggerConfiguration()
    .WriteTo.LiteDB($"Filename={logFile};connection=shared")
    .CreateLogger();
