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!
When looking at errors ... mostly you get ALOT ... of the same when doing a search on some property ... when afterward looking at the data ... you might want to filter out even more ... There it would be nice to have a "Add To Query", instead of the "Find", which just replaces the whole query ...

Is there any chance to get something analogous to RegEx back references available in Seq syntax? eg. ($45612) && CorrelationId == 1.CorrelationId <- in this case 1 is the implied back reference. The problem it helps solve: This is particularly useful for troubleshooting warnings, errors and workflows.

Hello, I just watched this pretty incredible session about Azure Service Fabric from build 2016 sessions: https://channel9.msdn.com/Events/Build/2016/T693 And in 00:23:25 it goes into diagnostics, where there isn't any mention of Seq and/or Serilog. I was curious if this is something that is possible and/or planned? :) Thank you, Michael

In Seq main window I can select multiple signals in order to filter only events meeting all the constraints. I'm wondering if the same is valid when configuring an instance of Seq.App.Timeout (or any other extension). At the moment I need to create new signals that are made of other signals only to be able to configure Timeout. It would save me a lot of time if only I could use a set of signals instead. How painful would it be to add the signal-composition feature for Seq.Apps ?

Hi, For our use case we would like to have a single seq server but restrict some users from viewing all the logs (or basically force a filter for their own application on them). Will that be possible in the future? Or maybe some similar solution? Cheers!

I've created a nuget package containing a Seq.App. Then I installed it locally from my local NuGet feed and everything worked fine. Then I tried to install the same package/version from the same source on my prod machine and received an error: A type marked with [SeqApp] was not found in <my_nuget_package_name>. Both my local and prod version is: 3.0.30. That makes me wonder: is there any option like "Install apps only from trusted sources" ?

I have installed SEQ trial version for a POC, and during my development I have found that SEQ not displaying collection objects in details. Is this restriction because of trial version? I could see the value like ["Mycollection"], but not the values available inside the collection

this looks like a really interesting feature that would be useful in one of my projects, trouble is, I don't take a dependency on the serilog library and instead ship raw json events to the server. Is this feature accessible through the Seq.Api package or similar? https://github.com/wwwlicious/servicestack-seq-requestlogsfeature

I've been considering using Seq for heartbeat monitoring (together with the Timeout app). I'm just wondering: the heartbeat event needs to occur very frequently (let's say: every 10 secends). After I receive the new event, the old one is useless, so I don't need to store it anymore. I've noticed there's a "Retention" section, but it doesn't allow me to specify time less than 1h. Would it be a big pain to provide an option to specify minutes as well (e.g. 5 minutes) ?

Hi, I've been playing with the Seq.Apps API and managed to get the basics. Now I've been wondering: why the ISubscribeTo interface is generic ? This suggests that I could subscribe to a specific subset of events. However, when I tried to change ISubscribeTo<LogEventData> in order to use my data type (let's say: ISubscribeTo<MyTypeWithOneField>), Seq refused to even load my nuget package: Could not install app A type marked with [SeqApp] was not found in <my_nuget_name>.

Hi, We've centralized all our logging to a central seq instance, but it gets hammered with a lot of log entries. The problem is that it can no longer keep its latest segment in memory because of its size. Segments are created every 7 days now, but if we could configure this interval of creating new segments we could decrease the size of the latest segment and keep this in ram. We only really need the today and yesterday (2 newest segments) in memory with the rest available from disk. Regards, Yorick
