A Serilog sink that writes log events toSystem.Diagnostics.Debug (i.e. the Visual Studio debug output window), inDEBUG builds only.

To use the sink, first install theNuGet package:

dotnet add package Serilog.Sinks.Debug

Then enable the sink usingWriteTo.Debug():

Log.Logger=newLoggerConfiguration().WriteTo.Debug().CreateLogger();Log.Information("Hello, world!");

Log events will be printed to the debug output:

To use the sink with theSerilog.Settings.AppSettings package, first install that package if you haven't already done so:

Install-Package Serilog.Settings.AppSettings

Instead of configuring the logger in code, callReadFrom.AppSettings():

varlog=newLoggerConfiguration().ReadFrom.AppSettings().CreateLogger();

In your application'sApp.config orWeb.config file, specify the console sink assembly under the<appSettings> node:

<configuration>  <appSettings>    <addkey="serilog:using:Debug"value="Serilog.Sinks.Debug" />    <addkey="serilog:write-to:Debug" />

To use the console sink withMicrosoft.Extensions.Configuration, for example with ASP.NET Core or .NET Core, use theSerilog.Settings.Configuration package. First install that package if you have not already done so:

Install-Package Serilog.Settings.Configuration

Instead of configuring the sink directly in code, callReadFrom.Configuration():

varconfiguration=newConfigurationBuilder().AddJsonFile("appsettings.json").Build();varlogger=newLoggerConfiguration().ReadFrom.Configuration(configuration).CreateLogger();

In yourappsettings.json file, under theSerilog node, :

{"Serilog": {"WriteTo": ["Debug"]  }}
