Serilog.Sinks.ApplicationInsights.AspNetCore

Companion helpers for Serilog and Application Insights on ASP.NET Core: DI registration, W3C correlation initializers, optional request logging middleware, and ILogger extensions that emit structured telemetry when used with Serilog.Sinks.ApplicationInsights and the included converters.

Target frameworks: net6.0, net7.0, net8.0, net9.0, net10.0

Features

  • AddSerilogApplicationInsights — registers Application Insights for ASP.NET Core (AddApplicationInsightsTelemetry) and binds the ApplicationInsights configuration section.
  • AddApplicationInsightsAzureAD — optional DefaultAzureCredential for ingestion when ApplicationInsights:UseAzureCredential is true.
  • AddCrossErrorHandlersApplicationInsights — registers W3cActivityTelemetryInitializer and ExtensionVersionTelemetryInitializer.
  • UseTelemetryBaseInitializer — copies Serilog:Properties:Application, Module, and Env into TelemetryClient.Context.GlobalProperties.
  • ApplicationInsightsRequestLoggingMiddleware — emits Request-style telemetry per HTTP call via LogAppInsightsRequest (use with Serilog AI sink + ApplicationInsightsTelemetryConverter).
  • LoggerApplicationInsightsExtensions — LogAppInsightsEvent, Metric, Dependency, Request, Exception on ILogger.

Install NuGet package

Install the Serilog.Sinks.ApplicationInsights.AspNetCore NuGet package into your .NET project:

Install-Package Serilog.Sinks.ApplicationInsights.AspNetCore

or

dotnet add package Serilog.Sinks.ApplicationInsights.AspNetCore

Quick start (minimal API)

using Serilog;
using Serilog.Sinks.ApplicationInsights.AspNetCore.Extensions;

var builder = WebApplication.CreateBuilder(args);

builder.Host.UseSerilog((context, _, configuration) =>
{
    configuration
        .ReadFrom.Configuration(context.Configuration)
        .Enrich.FromLogContext()
        .WriteTo.Console();
});

builder.Services
    .AddSerilogApplicationInsights(builder.Configuration)
    .AddApplicationInsightsAzureAD(builder.Configuration)
    .AddCrossErrorHandlersApplicationInsights();

var app = builder.Build();
app.UseTelemetryBaseInitializer();
app.MapGet("/", () => "OK");
app.Run();

Set ApplicationInsights:ConnectionString or the APPLICATIONINSIGHTS_CONNECTION_STRING environment variable for live ingestion.

Demo

dotnet run --project Serilog.Sinks.ApplicationInsights.AspNetCore.Demo/Serilog.Sinks.ApplicationInsights.AspNetCore.Demo.csproj

Then open the URL from Properties/launchSettings.json (default http://localhost:5088).
