Serilog.Enrichers.ClientInfo 1.1.4

serilog-enrichers-clientinfo

Enrich logs with client IP and UserAgent.

Install the Serilog.Enrichers.ClientInfo NuGet package

Install-Package Serilog.Enrichers.ClientInfo

or

dotnet add package Serilog.Enrichers.ClientInfo

Apply the enricher to your LoggerConfiguration in code:

Log.Logger = new LoggerConfiguration()
    .Enrich.WithClientIp()
    .Enrich.WithClientAgent()
    // ...other configuration...
    .CreateLogger();

or in appsettings.json file:

{
  "Serilog": {
    "MinimumLevel": "Debug",
    "Using":  [ "Serilog.Enrichers.ClientInfo" ],
    "Enrich": [ "WithClientIp", "WithClientAgent"],
    "WriteTo": [
      { "Name": "Console" }
    ]
  }
}

The WithClientIp() enricher will add a ClientIp property and the WithClientAgent() enricher will add a ClientAgent property to produced events.

Installing into an ASP.NET Core Web Application

You need to register the IHttpContextAccessor singleton so the enrichers have access to the requests HttpContext to extract client IP and client agent. This is what your Startup class should contain in order for this enricher to work as expected:

using Microsoft.AspNetCore.Builder;
using Microsoft.AspNetCore.Hosting;
using Microsoft.AspNetCore.Http;
using Microsoft.Extensions.DependencyInjection;
using Microsoft.Extensions.Logging;
using Serilog;

namespace MyWebApp
{
    public class Startup
    {
        public Startup()
        {
            Log.Logger = new LoggerConfiguration()
                .MinimumLevel.Debug()
                .WriteTo.Console(outputTemplate: "[{Timestamp:HH:mm:ss} {Level:u3} {ClientIp} {ClientAgent}] {Message:lj}{NewLine}{Exception}")
                .Enrich.WithClientIp()
                .Enrich.WithClientAgent()
                .CreateLogger();
        }
