Serilog.Sinks.Zabbix 1.0.0

Writes Serilog events to an item in Zabbix.

Getting started

Install the Serilog.Sinks.Zabbix package from NuGet:

PM> Install-Package Serilog.Sinks.Zabbix

To configure the sink in C# code, call .WriteTo.ZabbixSink() during logger configuration:

var log = new LoggerConfiguration()
    .WriteTo.ZabbixSink("localhost", 10051, "host", "item_key")
    .CreateLogger();

Configuration in Zabbix

Configure a host in Zabbix with an item as follows:

XML <appSettings> configuration

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

PM> Install-Package Serilog.Settings.AppSettings

Instead of configuring the sink in code, call ReadFrom.AppSettings():

var log = new LoggerConfiguration()
    .ReadFrom.AppSettings()
    .CreateLogger();

In your application's App.config or Web.config file, specify the sink assembly and required path format under the <appSettings> node:

<configuration>
    <appSettings>
        <add key="serilog:using:ZabbixSink" value="Serilog.Sinks.Zabbix" />
        <add key="serilog:write-to:ZabbixSink.address" value="localhost" />
        <add key="serilog:write-to:ZabbixSink.port" value="10051" />
        <add key="serilog:write-to:ZabbixSink.host" value="host" />
        <add key="serilog:write-to:ZabbixSink.item" value="item_key" />
    </appSettings>
</configuration>

JSON appsettings.json configuration

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

PM> Install-Package Serilog.Settings.Configuration

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

var configuration = new ConfigurationBuilder()
    .AddJsonFile("appsettings.json")
    .Build();

var logger = new LoggerConfiguration()
    .ReadFrom.Configuration(configuration)
    .CreateLogger();

In your appsettings.json file, under the Serilog node, :

{
  "Serilog": {
    "Using": [ "Serilog.Sinks.Zabbix" ],
    "MinimumLevel": "Information",
    "WriteTo": [
      {
        "Name": "ZabbixSink",
        "Args": {
          "address": "localhost",
          "port": 10051,
          "host": "host",
          "key": "item_key"
        }
      }
    ]
  }
}
