Welcome to the Seq documentation hub. You'll find comprehensive guides and documentation to help you start working with Seq as quickly as possible, as well as support if you get stuck. Let's jump right in!
is it there any way of install the extension out of GUI. i Understand we do have option of installing Nuget package under/settings/Apps. our objective is to install that package through powershell. we don't want to install that manually. is it possible to do so?

I'm considering using Seq for logging from multiple .NET apps. Some apps are ASP.NET Core web apps and some are .NET Core console apps. We run all of our apps on a well-provisioned Azure VM running Windows Server 2016 Datacenter. I want to know if there are any caveats to installing Seq on this same server other than performance concerns. My main concern is than since this server is running IIS, I wouldn't want Seq to clash with IIS in any way. I can't think of why it would, but I wanted to make sure before I install Seq there. Thanks! Randy

I followed the steps to add AAD integration for authentication. There seems to be two issues. 1. The redirect url in the login request is http and https as specified in the azure portal (the seq server is served at https) 2. When correcting the redirect url by editing inn the browser address bar, it complains about the client secret being invalid. So I am unable to get into the server to check/change the client secret

I'm using Seq v51.3364 through Serilog. The events display shows the date time of the event with .000 as the milliseconds. If I hover on the timestamp the millisecond is displayed in the hyperlink. Is this a configuration option, a design choice, a bug? Are the entries displayed descending timestamp, including millisecond even though not displayed? (Is there a way to post an image with the question?)

I've configured my Seq like this: api.ingestionPort=8111 api.listenUris=https://example.net:8111,http://localhost:8888 I've also associated the SSL certificate to the port 8111. If I try to access http://localhost:8888, everything works as expected. However, once I try to access https://example.net:8111, either via the machine where Seq is hosted or from another computer, I always get the following message: Error 403: "Forbidden." How can I fix this?

I'm currently running into a CORS issue that is intermittent. On chrome I'm getting preflight errors for CORS when it sends the preflight request with lower-case headers. However, when it sends uppercase headers it returns the proper response. Unsure if there are any ways to solve this?

I followed the guide "Using ASP.NET Core" and developers can now evaluate Seq locally (using a Docker container and the personal license). We have not deployed Seq to any environment, but the code sample enables Seq regardless of environment. I have only added the Seq configuration to appsettings.development.json. What is the impact of this setup? Am I correct in assuming that without configuration (at least `ServerUrl`) the impact will be minimal?

We have 2 production servers that host all our web applications with Load balancer. Since SEQ storage path should be local then we can't install SEQ on both servers. My guessing is to install it on one of them only and configure it to use Https and point our Web apps to it. So My questions are: ============== 1-Is that a good practice or SEQ needs a separate server? 2-Is there any other hints to keep in consider for this scenario, as we are using SEQ for production and we want to make sure it suits beforehand? Your response would be greatly appreciated, Thanks.

We had couple of situations were Seq server settings (such as disable authentication, add keys etc.) are changed. How can I see the audit log of the Seq server so that I can see who changed authentication settings etc.?

Hi, I have 4 retention policies configured to delete logs after a maximum of 30 days. Searching through the logs, I have entries that go way back further than 30 days. Why aren't the policies deleting the entries? Is there a way to manually execute the policies? Thanks, Yohan

When we're logging, we add a structure of metadata to each logline. We would like to have a way to define that a signal is based on a nested property in this structure in contrast to first-level properties. How can we achieve this?

I'm trying to start a Docker container with Seq, but i need to start it already with some api-key, in order to start at same time (with docker-compose) with a API who will send logs using this api-key. I could not find some way to do it only with Seq setting, so i'm using SeqCli; my docker-compose file is like that: ``` version: '3.7' services: logseqcli: image: datalust/seqcli:5.1.251 command: apikey create --title='newapikey' --token='123456' --server=http://logseq depends_on: - logseq logseq: image: datalust/seq:5.1 environment: - ACCEPT_EULA=Y ports: - 2000:80 - 4000:5341 ``` But my SeqCli container is getting the error: ``` logseqcli_1 | The command failed: Connection refused source_logseqcli_1 exited with code 1 ``` How can i fix this, or how can i achieve this without SeqCli? Thanks!

Hello, I'm triying to link Seq with our AAD, but when i have this error : Could not sign in to Seq One or more errors occurred. (AADSTS50011: The reply URL specified in the request does not match the reply URLs configured for the application: '*******'. Trace ID: *********** Correlation ID: ****** Timestamp: 2020-02-18 11:41:35Z) The client ID is correct. The AAD auth work on HTTP but not on HTTPS. The certificate is OK too. The only differnce between HTTP and HTTPS is the reply URL in Azure app registrations=> Authentication. Could you help me please ?
