Create a Serilog sink

[PureKrome]

In my previous issue #37 I mention how NLog is like the de facto logging framework these days in .NET.

Well, Serilog is the new kid on the block and looks to be starting to get some traction.

So - a Serilog sink would be really awesome too ... and it's not hard to make.

It also looks like there's a large number of existing sinks already ... and some of those are competitor sinks. So if I was starting out a new project (and using Serilog) the first thing I'd check out is what sinks are available .. and I see your competitor's there .. so I guess that means a lot of people would be heading over there, instead of heading down to BugSnag (ie. discoverability).

or vice versa -> lets use bugsnag .. oh wait .. no serilog sink .. but there's logentries ... ok, LE it is....

Thanks for these issues @PureKrome. It's probably not a high priority for us at the moment, but we'd love it if you wanted to contribute the log sinks (either as pull requests, or as separate projects).

(P.S. If you need more incentive, there's Bugsnag swag available for great contributions on Github, we can probably figure out a way to send you some :).

Cheers for the prompt reply and honest reply - very much appreciated.

My bandwidth is pretty busy so I can't promise anything but I'll definitely keep that in mind.

FYI, I passed on trialling Bugsnag because you don't have a Serilog Sink like Rollbar (new), Sentry (2.4k downloads) & Raygun (43k downloads) which are the others that I am assessing.

They are not especially hard to write but I just don't have time now, when I do I have time (after a release) I will already be committed to a service.

Not a complaint, just for awareness.

@CADbloke thanks for the feedback, we have been hard at work building v2 of this notifier which is currently in alpha. We will look at adding various log sinks once it is live

Fast forward 2 years...any update on this @martin308

[martin308]

@waynebrantley unfortunately I'm not working at Bugsnag anymore. Hopefully @kattrali may be able to help answer this question for you though

Hi @waynebrantley. This is one of a number of logging frameworks we're considering adding support for in the future but it's not an immediate priority on our roadmap. I've flagged your interest in this with the team.

I'm also waiting for this.

I guess @naldorp had started putting efforts onto this, Check https://github.com/naldorp/Serilog.Sinks.Bugsnag
