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!
It'd be cool to have desktop notifications (via web workers) when you get an event matching a signal. Then you could sit back with Seq in a tab, and click to jump straight to it when an event you were interested in showed up. It would be most useful in development, for example, use an Exceptions signal, and simulate debugging all your locally running servers at once with stack traces and context.

Hello, I am evaluating Seq in our ASP.NET Core project. I used configuration which you present on your website.Everything works when request started. I would like to log information about errors when application is in startup mode. For example: public void Configure( IApplicationBuilder app, IHostingEnvironment env, ILoggerFactory loggerFactory, IAntiforgery antiforgery) { // nlog config loggerFactory.AddConsole(LogLevel.Warning); loggerFactory.AddDebug(); loggerFactory.AddSeq(Configuration.GetSection("Seq")); //... } Let's say that after adding Seq some exception occur then I would like to have that information in seq logs. Right now it doesn't work. Kind Regards

Hi, Could you describe us a difference of benefits between: 1. compact: true Seq 3.3 accepts Serilog's more efficient compact JSON format. To use this, configure the sink with compact: true: .WriteTo.Seq("http://localhost:5341", compact: true) https://github.com/serilog/serilog-sinks-seq 2. seq.exe compact https://docs.getseq.net/docs/the-seqexe-command-line Thanks for any suggestions!

Usually the way I use logs is I search for an event, then I want to determine what happened immediately before that even to lead up to it. Maybe I'm missing something obvious, but is there a way to jump to a particular point in time directly from a log event? If I search for an event I'm interested in I don't see any way to look at the events right before and after that event except manually putting the start and end time into the date/time boxes and then deleting the search criteria. I would imagine this would be a pretty common use case, so is there a shortcut for this that I have just missed?

I am trying to filter Devices from something like this: MethodExecutionArgs [{ MethodName: "GetService", Paramters: [{ Name: "TestOne", Devices: [{ DeviceID:"122-45665", DeviceName: "Test Devices", DeviceType: "Test" }] }] }] I can use MethodExecutionArgs.Parameters[?].Name like 'TestOne' to find this record, but when i tried to use MethodExecutionArgs.Parameters[?].Devices[?].DeviceID like '122-45665' I cannot find anything. Is this the correct expression to filter sub collections? Thanks

The slack notifier works well, but if it is configured to be used on the dashboard alerts, it throws an error. I posted details also on github: https://github.com/bytenik/Seq.App.Slack/issues/14 I hope you someone can help.

Dear all, We are creating a brand new product based on microservices architecture, and one of the components we are investigating is about how to centralize logs coming from our services (a set of independent DotNet core web api). We land on serilog, really powerful library, but we don't want waste our time on developing also an WEB UI to read log as also to care about on retention policy. What we are looking for is a product like your Seq (or like Splunk, etc.) but one of the business requirements is to be deployable on Docker Container (in real on Swarm as a service). I noticed that your amazing app need .Net Framework and it is not ready to work with .Net Core. So our question is: Are you planning a porting on DotNet Core? In case when you suppose to release?

Hi, I have a property that is a dictionary, like this: dbdata: {INTEGRATIONID: "2453466", INTEGRATIONSTATUSTYPEID: "161001", OMSORDERID: "", STARTEDON: "26.4.2017 13:59:49", COMPLETEDON: "26.4.2017 13:59:49", SERVICENAME: "OrderService", SERVICEMETHODNAME: "getOrders", REQUESTACTION: "", RESPONSEACTION: "", ERRORMSG: "", LOGAPIID: "2453465", SENDTOCDRLOGGER: "26.4.2017 13:59:49"} How can I query for a specific value? dbdata['LOGAPIID'] = "2453465" doesn't seem to work, nor any other permutations that I tried, except dbdata[?]= "2453465"

I want to write loglevel into Seq and use config: <target name="seq" xsi:type="Seq" serverUrl="http://11.18.0.11:5241" > <property name="Laeavel" layout="${level}"/> </target> but its dont work. If I write: <target name="seq" xsi:type="Seq" serverUrl="http://11.18.0.11:5241" > </target> Its work. And work this: <target name="seq" xsi:type="Seq" serverUrl="http://10.8.0.1:5341" > <property name="SourceContext" value="${logger}" /> </target> but first case dont work. Why Seq-NLog cant use layout "level"?

I have a job which is run on a schedule several times a day. Most times there is no work for it to do, but it still writes log entries as it runs. All these log entries for a run are tied together with a correlation id. I'm only really interested in these log entries if the job found some work to do *or* an error happened. Is there a way to automatically delete all entries for a given correlation id either based on the fact a "no work found" entry was logged?

Hi all, I have built a microservice with many apis. When i use Seq, these logs of all service is displaying at one screen. So, it is very difficult to view, search and track log. So, i have a question, can we group these logs of all services with idenity name or ip?
