News and information in the Seq ecosystem No Images? Click here The Seq NewsletterHello everyone, We've got all kinds of things to share this month! Structured logging in .NET continues to take off, Seq continues to grow and improve, and the ecosystem keeps getting richer. This newsletter includes an update on Seq 3.4, the forthcoming release, and we'd love to have your feedback on this version if you can take the preview builds for a spin. Also in this edition, an updated Serilog.Sinks.Seq client package, a new dedicated provider for ASP.NET Core, new Seq apps including digest email, and more. — Nick Seq 3.4 PreviewWork is underway on Seq 3.4. As with each of our release cycles, early work has focused on improving user experience and smoothing out rough edges. The timeline view has been improved in this version to support quicker forward/backwards navigation: Organizations with more complex Active Directory setups will be pleased to hear that the single-domain limitation of the Seq Active Directory integration has been removed in this version: one Seq server can now provide access to users in multiple AD domains. We're taking a "ready-when it's done" approach to scheduling this release, but expect a final build in the next month or so. You can follow our progress via the 3.4 milestone, and download preview builds from the downloads page on getseq.net. Updates in Serilog.Sinks.SeqThe 3.1.1 release of Serilog.Sinks.Seq includes several fixes and improvements over 3.0.0.
Digest Email in Seq 3.4Seq.App.DigestEmail is a new Seq App that batches events within a set time window into a single HTML email. This has been a long-requested extension to the original email app, so we're excited to finally have a package ready to go! The new app uses the updated hosting API in Seq 3.4, so you'll need to be running one of the 3.4 preview builds to try it out at this time. ASP.NET Core Logging ProviderMany organizations have started investigating .NET Core, ASP.NET Core, and with them often Docker and Linux. Alongside the comprehensive Seq integration that's available through Serilog, we've decided to release a cut-down Seq provider that plugs directly into the ASP.NET Core logging pipeline. The package, when announced, was dependent on Serilog, but this dependency has now been broken so that the Seq provider works standalone. Serilog remains the most flexible logging solution for this platform, but a Seq-specific provider makes Seq an option for teams who decide to use only the built-in ASP.NET Core logging APIs. We'd love to hear from you if this is a fit for your projects. More on the Web...
That's all for this month. Happy logging!
