Getting Started

Adding the Sentry Sink

Add the Sentry sink to your Serilog logger configuration, so that the logs will be sent to your Sentry instance. The Sentry DSN must be provided.

You can also configure Serilog using a JSON configuration. Here's a sample:

{
  "Logging": {
    "IncludeScopes": false,
    "LogLevel": {
      "Default": "Warning"
    }
  },
  "Serilog": {
    "Using": [
      "Serilog.Sinks.SentrySDK"
    ],
    "MinimumLevel": "Debug",
    "WriteTo": [
      {
        "Name": "Sentry",
        "Args": {
          "dsn": "",
          "sendDefaultPii": true,
          "maxBreadcrumbs": 200,
          "maxQueueItems": 100,
          "debug": true,
          "diagnosticLevel": "Error",
          "environment": "Development",
          "operationName": "SentryConsole",
          "release": "1.0.5",
          "serverName": "SentryConsole",
          "dist": "SentryConsole",
          "tags": "SentryConsole=SentryConsole",
          "tracesSampleRate": 1.0,
          "tracesSampler": "AlwaysSample",
          "stackTraceMode": "Enhanced",
          "isGlobalModeEnabled": true,
          "sampleRate": 1.0,
          "attachStacktrace": true,
          "autoSessionTracking": true,
          "enableTracing": true
        }
      }
    ],
    "Enrich": ["FromLogContext", "WithMachineName", "WithThreadId"],
    "Properties": {
      "Application": "Sample"
    }
  }
}

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

    var log = new LoggerConfiguration()
              .ReadFrom.Configuration(configuration)
              .Enrich.FromLogContext()
              .CreateLogger();

// By default, only messages with level errors and higher are captured
log.Error("This error goes to Sentry.");

Data Scrubbing

Data scrubbing allows you to sanitize your logs before they are sent to Sentry. This can be useful for removing sensitive information.

To use it, provide a custom IScrubber implementation when setting up the Sentry Sink:

var log = new LoggerConfiguration()
    .WriteTo.Sentry("Sentry DSN", dataScrubber: new MyDataScrubber())
    .Enrich.FromLogContext()
    .CreateLogger();

Capturing HttpContext (ASP.NET Core)

To include user, request body, and header information in the logs, some additional setup is required.

First, install the ASP.NET Core sink with the command:

dotnet add package Serilog.Sinks.SentrySDK.AspNetCore
Install-Package Serilog.Sinks.SentrySDK.AspNetCore

Then, update your logger configuration to include a custom HttpContextDestructingPolicy:

var log = new LoggerConfiguration()
    .WriteTo.Sentry("Sentry DSN")
    .Enrich.FromLogContext()

    // Add this two lines to the logger configuration
    .Destructure.With<HttpContextDestructingPolicy>()
    .Filter.ByExcluding(e => e.Exception?.CheckIfCaptured() == true)

    .CreateLogger();

Finally, add the Sentry context middleware to your Startup.cs:

public void Configure(IApplicationBuilder app, IHostingEnvironment env, ILoggerFactory loggerFactory)
{
    // Add this line
    app.AddSentryContext();

    // Other stuff
}

With these steps, your logs will include detailed information about the HTTP context of the requests.
