Serilog

Ship logs from a .NET app with one line after the package reference. The sink POSTs to the same POST /v1/logs contract as qiklog send and the try-it-now curl.

Install

dotnet add package QikLog.Serilog

Until the package is on nuget.org, pack from this repo:

make pack-serilog
dotnet add package QikLog.Serilog --source artifacts/nuget

One line

using Serilog;

Log.Logger = new LoggerConfiguration()
    .WriteTo.QikLog("https://api.qiklog.com", apiKey, "demo")
    .CreateLogger();

Log.Information("hello from serilog");

apiKey is sent as Authorization: Bearer. source is the QikLog stream name (use demo to see lines on the landing live panel and /tail/demo).

Events flush in batches of 50 or every 2 seconds, then each event is posted as its own POST /v1/logs. On ingest failure (4xx, 5xx, or network error) the event is written to Serilog SelfLog and dropped — no retry, backoff, or re-queue. Do not treat this sink as a delivery guarantee.

Serilog.Debugging.SelfLog.Enable(Console.Error);

• API keys — mint a Bearer key
• Live tail — watch the source in the browser
• CLI — send and watch from a terminal
