Vostok.Logging

Vostok.Logging is a set of libraries. Like other popular libraries (Serilog, Log4net etc.) it provides diagnostic logging to files, the console, and elsewhere.

Vostok.Logging is not a monolith. The library consists of parts: facade and implementations.

Peculiarities:

• Efficient built-in implementations out of the box;

• Logging is tightly integrated into the Vostok ecosystem. If you use the entire Vostok or multiple libraries, you don't need to worry about integration. Read more in the section integration with other Vostok libraries.

Features:

• Structured logging In the Vostok.Logging as in Serilog logs are structured. You can render user-defined properties. Learn more about template syntax here.

• Fully asynchronous Calling the Log method can't lock the app.

• Fast work *proof*

• Integration with Serilog and Log4Net If you are already using Serilog or Log4net, create an adapter and you'll get the Vostok facade from the available log.

Libraries

Library	Description
Logging.Abstractions	This library is a facade with core logging interfaces and models (ILog, LogEvent, LogLevel) and a set of useful extensions.
Logging.Console	This library is for a log which outputs events to console. Supports color-marked messages, uses lock-free queue for asynchronous message writing.
Logging.File	This library is for a log which outputs events to file. Supports rolling-strategies for logs rotation, uses lock-free queue for asynchronous message writing, easy to configure from code and other sources.
Logging.Context	Automatically embeds contextual information in the log message.
Logging.Formatting	This library responsible for rendering messages and log events to text. Used in any standalone text-based log implementation.
Logging.Log4Net	Represents an adapter between Vostok logging interfaces and log4net.
Logging.Serilog	Represents an adapter between Vostok logging interfaces and Serilog.
Logging.Hercules	This library is for a log which outputs events to Hercules.
