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!
If the admin changes the logging switch from information to error, will the application that calls logger.information be executed and sent over the network? Will it only be ignored by the server?

Seq Server has been terminated randomly couple of weeks. There is a plenty of space for storing the logs . It has .Net 4.6 installed. Here is the log from even viewer Faulting application name: seq.exe, version: 0.0.0.0, time stamp: 0x5c65fa1e Faulting module name: flare.dll, version: 0.0.0.0, time stamp: 0x5cf9ff0c Exception code: 0xc00000fd Fault offset: 0x000000000003969d Faulting process id: 0x75e0 Faulting application start time: 0x01d552b8a4e97a0d Faulting application path: C:\Program Files\Seq\seq.exe Faulting module path: C:\Program Files\Seq\Native\flare.dll Report Id: 509cfd4c-c313-4473-bb11-ffcef70305af Faulting package full name: Faulting package-relative application ID: The Seq service terminated unexpectedly.

We have Seq listening on default url http://localhost:5341 in local network. We redirect http://gatewayAddress/seq/ on public gateway to http://seqComputerName:5341 so Seq is available via gateway. Is there a way to have backlinks to Seq events sent via email+ app with gateway public address instead of localhost one. I do not see a way to do it using the current documentation: https://docs.datalust.co/docs/urls Thank you

I understand the system requirements call for Window 8.1+, but our application is requiring Windows 7 due to customer hardware constraints. Installing on a Windows 7 SP1 machine is successful, but am presented with the following error when browsing Seq: {"Error":"Seq is unavailable. Failed to initialize storage: Unable to load DLL 'Native\\flare.dll' or one of its dependencies: The specified procedure could not be found. (Exception from HRESULT: 0x8007007F)"} Does there exist addition redistributables/software that need to be installed, or is it even possible to run on Windows 7? Thanks

Is it possible to dynamically update the NLog.Seq Target to add/remove a property that should be added/removed from subsequent logging calls? Example would be, I'm running a uniquely identified Test, and I want all log entries from the system to use the current Test Id. Is there someway to update NLog.Seq target to automatically include the Id in logged events? Conversely, is there a way to remove a property? Continuing the example above, is there a way to remove the Id from the NLog.Seq target so it is no longer added to logged events? Thanks

Hi! I use datalus/seq container with mapped volume "/data" on linux host. There are a lot of seq-x.log files. I would like to archive files older than 7 days. Is it possible to confgure it like example below? <target name="file" xsi:type="File" layout="${longdate} ${logger} ${message}" fileName="${basedir}/logs/logfile.txt" archiveFileName="${basedir}/archives/log.{#}.txt" archiveEvery="Day" archiveNumbering="Rolling" maxArchiveFiles="7" concurrentWrites="true" keepFileOpen="false" encoding="iso-8859-2" /> Greeting, thanks in advance for your response.

Hi, I have set up a dashboard and some alerts for my project. The alerts itself work just fine. However, it is not obvious how to display log events that actually triggered the alert. Results contain something like: Results [] 2019-08-05T22:29:38.1656332Z [[2]] However, I do not care about any aggregations, I would rather see the log events themselves. Is there any way to achieve that?

Hi guys. Not sure if this is the right place to ask this question so feel free to kick me off to StackOverflow or Github My issue is this. I have a webservice running a job a few times a day. When invoked the service simply returns ok to the client and starts the job in a separate thread. The thread creates a custom logger and performs its magic just fine... Well almost. It logs a few statements but these are not always showing up in SEQ. Sometimes all statement show up but other times one or all of them are missing. I guess it has something to due with threading and maybe the logging object being disposed before (or while) statements are being synchronized by the SEQ sink? Can you guys point me towards some best-practices regarding serilog/seq and threading? We have a few services/applications that works like this and I need to find an approach so I know my statements will arrive :-) Thank you so much in advance. Have an awesome day Regards Kenneth

Hello all, I am trying to replace our Seq VM on Azure with the docker equivalent. I managed to get it up and running using Azure Container Instances (including persisted storage and all) but failed to figure out how to run the seq cmdline (e.g. `seq show-key` etc.). The `az container exec` fails since seq is not in the bash path and it seems the `exec` command is not working like `docker run` in that regard. Is Azure Container Instances the right approach at all, or need I set up the docker image using Azure Kubernetes Service to get access to the Seq Docker image command line?

When I try to download the latest version I get an error that says HTTP response was too large: 57299332. The limit is: 33554432. I've tried both Edge and Chrome and neither work. I can download the previous version. A friend showed this to me and I'd love to use it to view my Log4Net logs.

I get logs from the Gelf input with context data as JSON. Something like this `Property: ctxt_cookie_data` Value ``` { "cookieconsent_status": "dismiss", "TP": "XXXXXX", "PHPSESSID": "ie8akdgbo13kb8tlrj7uke84a5", "C": "0", "QUICKSTART": "j017s0aimbs9h64ngajbcmo855", } ``` I can use the `like` syntax to query into the property values `ctxt_cookie_data like '%"cookieconsent_status": "checked"%'` This is somewhat verbose but seems to work. Is there something that could make this structured property values more usable? Somehting like `ctxt_cookie_data.cookieconsent_status in ["checked", "whatever"]` Not sure if I'm just missing something or if this is just not possible in general.

When I attempt to refresh a dashboard to get the trends of a certain issue over a longer period of time it continues to timeout saying "The query execution timeout of 00:01:00 was reached". Is there a way this can be adjusted? If so, then how?
