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 would like to know if it's possible to install the Seq update while Seq is being used ? Right now, we have the v2.0.19 and we want to update it with the last one (v2.3.4) but our applications are writing logs and we can't stop them. Thanks.

Hi, I guessed I just missed something, but I am trying to configure an EmailPlus app instance to send e-mails in case of errors. I want the subject of those e-mails to contain the value of some properties of the message (namely the name of the App that reported the error...) . I have tried that : [Seq][{{$Level}}] {{AppName}} / {{AppComponent}} But the email I receive has this subject : [Seq][Error] / You can see that the standard property "$Level" works as expected ... but other properties are simply ignored. They do appear in the body, though .... AppName -> ADA AppComponent -> MainSite Am I doing something wrong here ?

Hi, in our deployment, only a single user ("superuser") has admin rights, and other users have normal user rights. "superuser" has created signals that are used specifically for retention policies and e-mail alerts (that only him can configure) . As a regular user, it looks like I can see, and EDIT those signals, hence potentially impacting the overall behavior of the system. Is that a problem in our configuration, or is it the expected behavior ? In that case, is there a way to restrict signals, and mark them as "private", for instance ?

Nick, I purchased our Team license tonight and am looking at sitting down tomorrow and starting to suss out a logging and exception handling strategy for an upcoming platform which will span Azure cloud services (MVC and Web API's) and a myriad of worker roles operating off of a slew of service bus queues, etc... Although not necessarily Seq specific I was wondering if you could share some opinions on successful strategies on your experience with exception logging (including unhandled exceptions) in both MVC 5 and Web API 2. I am really trying to avoid Elmah if at all possible and to keep everything in the scope of Seri and Seq. In the past I have used IExceptionLogger / Handler in Web API 2 and both HandleError and Application_Error in MVC and maybe those are the best approaches but before I get into Confluence and start sketching this out I was hoping you could wax poetic about your experiences a bit and and any pointers you might have. Thanks, Jim

Hi, I'm using Seq with several applications on the same server and it's quite difficult to find the right logs for the right application. I would like to know if it's possible to add tag in the log via the configuration ? (like add a prefix to the log or add a property) Our application are running well and we don't want to add the tag in the code. Thanks for the answer.

Hi, I am reading this section "Asynchronous Batching and Durable Log Shipping" from this link http://docs.getseq.net/v2/docs. I want to clarify two things from that section. 1. A buffer file set may be specified when network or server issue prevernt delivery. Will the log in the butter file be sent to Seq when network or server issue is recovery but the app that sent the log is not running yet? 2. The code below is for configurating a butter file. Does writing the log to the butter file use async? Writing the file is IO-bound so I am wondering if there will be any blocking for writing logs from concurrenct threads... Log.Logger = new LoggerConfiguration() .WriteTo.ColoredConsole() .WriteTo.Seq("http://localhost:5341", bufferBaseFilename: @"C:\MyApp\Logs\myapp") .CreateLogger(); 3. How do I sent other log informations like performance counters logs and etc? Thanks!

I've updated Seq server from 1.6.11 to latest 2.2.8 using the .exe installer. The setup went smooth but I couldn't browse the UI using my custom domain, so I opened a cmd and did: seq stop seq uninstall seq install --listen="http://mydomain.com" Again, everything seemed to run smooth but I still can't browse it. Going to http://mydomain.com opens the IIS start page. How can I troubleshoot this?

Hi, I'm developing an web application and i'd like to log all my errors from server and client side in one place. The server side integration goes well with lthe Log4Net.SeqAppender, but i'm not able to log client side events due to lack of CORS (Cross-Origin Resource Sharing) headers in the SEQ server response. Is it possible to enable CORS support for the SEQ server, So i can use SEQ.NET to log web client events? Best regards, Mirek
