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'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

We are just getting started with Seq, and I was wondering if there is a way to send emails as a batch once they reach a certain amount or a certain amount of time has passed. Basically, we would like to be notified of any exceptions, but we don't want to flood the email system. So if we receive 200 events in 10 seconds, the details should be put into a digest and sent via email.

I'd like to know if it is possible to host SEQ within an existing OWIN based web application - similar to how Hangfire dashboard works: http://docs.hangfire.io/en/latest/configuration/using-dashboard.html ?

Is there a way to share signals between users? We recently got a license but after setting up user management I noticed only I (as the original admin) carried over any of the signals that were previously setup. Some of the signals require a bit of knoweldge to setup, more than I'd expect a support operations staff member to have to know so it'd be great if I could setup signals for others or share them as some sort of global signal.

I used the api to back fill old log entries that had only been written to SQL via SeriLog. Worked great! But I realized that i didn't set an important property correctly in all cases when back filling. Is there any way to update existing entries by Id? Or delete and re-add?

Hi, the documentation about authentication via Active Directory (http://docs.getseq.net/docs/active-directory) mentions "one domain". Does Seq support authenticating users from several domains of an "AD Forest" (with trust relationship between those domains) ?

We are looking at adopting the great seq/serilog logging framework but first want to trial it. I am trying to backfill a few months of error logs into it. How should I pipe them in to best showcase Seq's searching / indexing abilities? They are currently stored in a db table and we have discrete columns for Severity, MachineName, AppDomainName, ThreadId, etc. as well as the Stacktrace and raw Exception Message. Whats the best way to backfill these in? Thanks!

This was previously on the UserVoice site, but that seems to have disappeared. I would like to be able to specify an API key manually. This is because my production & development environments have separate seq servers, and I would like to embed the specific API key into the application and have it be the same on both. This was previously just a "might be nice to have" feature, but now you've introduced remote level control in serilog, this feature suddenly becomes a lot more valuable, so I've reposted it here as a suggestion. My suggestion of how it would work would simply be a checkbox on the new API key form for "generate automatic key", which when unticked allows you to paste in a key generated from another Seq instance.

Hello, I am curious about the API key that I have seen in the documentation: http://docs.getseq.net/docs/api-keys Are these keys considered sensitive/security/secret data? It almost seems as if it is OK to check these into code/source control. If this is not the case, it would be great to update the documentation to specify as such, and to protect the data with appropriate means (app.config encryption and/or Azure Key Vault, etc.). Thank you, Michael

What enrichment is available for me to "tag" or otherwise capture information about where a `Log.Information()` is invoked from. Writing it into the message template can't be the way... Log.Information("MyClass.MyMethod: Thing happened") Thanks
