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!
Hi! I'm trying to save an event (JSON) using PowerShell: Invoke-RestMethod -Uri $Uri -Body $Body -ContentType "application/json" -Method POST But I think the JSON is very large because result is Bad Request (400) Is there a limit to save JSON events? --- Thanks for the help

I'm running SEQ 3.2.16 on Windows Server 2012 R2, and the Extent free space is only being reclaimed as part of the compacting process after 14 days. I have rention policies currently deleting all events after 25hours. I hadn't spotted the Data Store reference to Windows Server 2012 R2 before and wondered if this was a recent change/feature?

Hi all, Looking to use Seq Enterprise Edition at a client of mine and the purchase just got underway. Very excited! This client has a great CM / DevOps team that's trying to automate a lot of our server setup. I know that we'll want to: * Configure Seq for AD integration * Use a separate data drive to store the log flies * Set Seq retention to be capped at that drive's size (minus a few GB) * Use Puppet to install it if at all possible. What options to we have for unattended or automated installation & configuration via the Seq MSI and/or Puppet? Thanks, Sean

We are using IdentityServer for auth in our other applications. It would be great if we could support Single Sign On in Seq. We use the same server for our external facing users and have a claim that says if a user is an internal staff member. Ideally we could provide the valid endpoint for Auth and the required claims.

Hi, I am attempting to create Signals and Api Keys with an application. I ran into this error that might be due to attempting to do so too fast. 2017-04-15 15:32:25.108 +10:00 [Error] Error serving "http://localhost:5341/api/signals/" (token: "cef93ff4395340b6b06df1dc98ad7834") Microsoft.Isam.Esent.Interop.EsentWriteConflictException: Write lock failed due to outstanding write lock at Microsoft.Isam.Esent.Interop.Api.Check(Int32 err) at Microsoft.Isam.Esent.Interop.Api.JetUpdate(JET_SESID sesid, JET_TABLEID tableid, Byte[] bookmark, Int32 bookmarkSize, Int32& actualBookmarkSize) at Microsoft.Isam.Esent.Interop.Update.Save(Byte[] bookmark, Int32 bookmarkSize, Int32& actualBookmarkSize) at Quince.Documents.DocumentStore.Import(String id, String json, Boolean lazyFlush) at Seq.Server.Data.KeyValueStoreExtensions.Update[TDocument](IDocumentSession kvs, TDocument document, Boolean lazyFlush) at Seq.Server.Web.Api.Signals.SignalsModule.OnCreated(Signal document) at Seq.Server.Web.EntityResourceModule`2.Create() at Nancy.Routing.Route.<>c__DisplayClass4.<Wrap>b__3(Object parameters, CancellationToken context) The client gave this back.

I am getting tons of errors in the ingestion log like below: I've been running seq fine for months. I recently noticed that Seq was dropping some of my log messages, so I started experimenting with the DurableSeq sink, but not sure if that has anything to do with it. Now it doesn't look like my Seq instance can ingest any events. Any ideas on how to remedy? I am running Seq 3.4.20 on Win Server 2016 and I have plenty of free disk space. Thanks. 2017-04-13 17:50:17 Exception raised when writing to event storage Microsoft.Isam.Esent.Interop.EsentVersionStoreOutOfMemoryException: Version store out of memory (cleanup already attempted) at Microsoft.Isam.Esent.Interop.Api.Check(Int32 err) at Microsoft.Isam.Esent.Interop.Api.JetGetTableColumnInfo(JET_SESID sesid, JET_TABLEID tableid, String columnName, JET_COLUMNLIST& columnlist) at Microsoft.Isam.Esent.Interop.Api.GetColumnDictionary(JET_SESID sesid, JET_TABLEID tableid) at Seq.Storage.Isam.SeqDBSession.OpenTable(String tableName, Table& table, IDictionary`2& columns) at Seq.Storage.Isam.EventStoreExtent..ctor(SeqDBSession session) at Seq.Storage.Events.EventStore.Add(StorageEventCreationData[] eventsCreationData, Boolean lazyFlush) at Seq.Server.Web.Api.Events.RawEventsModule.Ingest() 2017-04-13 17:50:21 Exception raised when writing to event storage Microsoft.Isam.Esent.Interop.EsentVersionStoreOutOfMemoryException: Version store out of memory (cleanup already attempted) at Microsoft.Isam.Esent.Interop.Api.Check(Int32 err) at Microsoft.Isam.Esent.Interop.Api.JetGetTableColumnInfo(JET_SESID sesid, JET_TABLEID tableid, String columnName, JET_COLUMNLIST& columnlist) at Microsoft.Isam.Esent.Interop.Api.GetColumnDictionary(JET_SESID sesid, JET_TABLEID tableid) at Seq.Storage.Isam.SeqDBSession.OpenTable(String tableName, Table& table, IDictionary`2& columns) at Seq.Storage.Isam.EventStoreExtent..ctor(SeqDBSession session) at Seq.Storage.Events.EventStore.Add(StorageEventCreationData[] eventsCreationData, Boolean lazyFlush) at Seq.Server.Web.Api.Events.RawEventsModule.Ingest()

We would like to open up our firewall to allow the incoming log messages from any IP as we keep finding we're missing logs but don't want to open the UI up globally (even though it's locked down by username/password). Is there a way we can move the UI onto another port and have the logger on the standard? Or better yet, lock down the UI to an IP address?

We generally standardise our automatically added keys, it would be great if you could have an autocomplete on the property key, this would be best if it was restricted to just other API keys but if it has to be all properties that'd still be awesome

I've got an automated powershell script for returning some information from SEQ events. It's been working fine with Seq 3.4.20 but I'm having a problem this morning I can't figure out. The short question is: I enter a filter in the Seq UI and press enter. I can see the URL in my browser window changes and I see the URL-encoded filter for this particular query. Here's an example: https://some.domain.name/#/events?filter=Id%3D%3D%22dc4c45b9-8d33-4b53-8fe6-ed9c23ebacf7%22%20%26%26%20SOAPResponse%20!%3D%20null Which came from the filter: Id=="dc4c45b9-8d33-4b53-8fe6-ed9c23ebacf7" && SOAPResponse != null In the Seq UI, this returns one row. If I plug that same filter into an API query, I get an empty array: https://some.domain.name/api/events?filter=Id%3D%3D%22dc4c45b9-8d33-4b53-8fe6-ed9c23ebacf7%22%20%26%26%20SOAPResponse%20!%3D%20null As noted earlier, the powershell script that I've been using for months to build this query and pull back information from the API has been working. I don't see anything wrong with the syntax and the fact that the same filter works in the Seq UI has me even more puzzled.

Hello! I want to display the Seq log page in an iframe on my site page. But I got an error in the Chrome console: Refused to display 'http://***seqlog.url***/#/events' in a frame because it set 'X-Frame-Options' to 'deny'. Is it possible to somehow configure X-Frame-Options header so the Seq log site can be displayed inside an iframe? Thanks, Artem

I made a huge mistake months ago when setting up Seq to listen on 5341 for https instead of 443. I am finally getting sick of security guys repeatedly blocking outbound tcp 5341 and would like to set things up right by migrating to 443. Unfortunately, migrating all of my apps at once to 443 isn't practical, so I would like to have Seq use SSL on 443 and 5341 while I migrate everything to 443. The seq bind-ssl command help doesn't indicate that you can specify multiple ports and the seq install command help implies that it can listen on multiple URLs, but doesn't specify the syntax for multiple URLs. It just has a single URL sample.

I have a MVC application that uses Seq. When an exception occurs, I am redirecting it to the seq as an error but it doesn't show the full stack trace which is really hard to understand the exact place of the code that get failed. I am reading seq config from app.config file as follows; <!--Serilog--> <add key="serilog:minimum-level" value="Debug" /> <add key="serilog:using" value="Serilog.Sinks.Seq" /> <add key="serilog:write-to:Seq.serverUrl" value="http://localhost:5342" /> And then ILogger log;= new LoggerConfiguration() .ReadFrom.AppSettings() .CreateLogger(); And then invoke log.Error catch (Exception ex) { log.Error("Error updating student details. StudentId:{0} Message:{1} Trace:{2}", someid, ex.Message, ex.StackTrace); throw ex; } My seq out put as follows, Please note that the full stack trace with line lumbers are missing. 31 Mar 2017 01:31:39.470 Error binding the student model StudentId:0 Message:Value cannot be null. Parameter name: String Trace: at System.Number.StringToNumber(String str, NumberStyles options, NumberBuffer& number,… Id ▾ Level (Error) ▾ Type ($61C10FBB) ▾ Pin ▾ Raw JSON 0 0 1 Value cannot be null.
