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!
Good day! Is there any way to make friends Seq and win-acme (Let's Encrypt SSL certificate auto-updater)? Perhaps it's possible to add Seq as a IIS site? (win-acme allows to update sites certificate) And thank you very much for that great tool!

I have installed SEQ (Windows 2016) and the trial license I was provided. On the server I can get into it with http://localhost:5341. But unable to do so with FQDN: http://servername.x.local:5341 I have disabled Windows Firewall completely and still no go. I have tried different ports to no avail. my last attempt I had the config below. So is the trial license limited to only accepting connections with the name localhost? "listenUris": [ "http://serverA.x.local:53411/", "http://localhost:5341" ], And the log: {"@t":"2019-04-15T17:17:14.5992291Z","@mt":"Seq {SeqVersion} running on OS {OSCaption}","SeqVersion":"5.1.3000","OSCaption":"Microsoft Windows Server 2016 Datacenter","SourceContext":"Seq.Server.Features.Diagnostics.EnvironmentInformationWriter"} {"@t":"2019-04-15T17:17:14.6459601Z","@mt":"Running in Windows Service host"} {"@t":"2019-04-15T17:17:15.5066816Z","@mt":"Seq listening on {ListenUris}","ListenUris":["http://serverA.x.:53411/","http://localhost:5341/"]}

Hi team, Is there an easy way to force a migration of our ESENT data to Flare? From [here](https://blog.datalust.co/native-storage-in-a-new-seq-5-preview/): > One important note: Seq uses a rolling 7-day extent mechanism to switch between storage engines. If your Seq server is currently using ESENT, upgrading to the new build won't result in a storage switch until the end of the current 7-day period, and benefits of the new storage engine won't become visible until the older ESENT data ages out (existing data won't be moved automatically to the new engine). We have a 365 day retention policy on one of our Seq instances and if my understanding is correct we'll have to wait 365 days to be 100% Flare-based. I'm also eyeballing [this issue](https://github.com/datalust/seq-tickets/issues/837) which suggests that some queries would be slower (for up to 365 days?) if we go back as far as the ESENT-based data. I was hoping for something like a `seq migrate-storage` command line that could run with the server offline rather than jury-rigging some sort of event export from one instance to a new instance. Thanks in advance.

Hi, We have a c# windows service that uses SEQ logging successfully throughout. However, the service executes an async task that performs a logon to a 3rd party application. Log statements within the task do not appear in the log stream. We have confirmed that the log statements are being executed under debug, we have tried both the static Log instance and an instance injected into the class. Are there any issues logging within an async task or anything additional we need to do?? Thanks Pete

Hey, I'm using Seq in Docker for Desktop - it was working fine for couple of weeks - but today it started to give me 'Error Forbidden' responses when I try to access dashboard. I'm running it locally in single user mode. I've tried to remove container & image - and recreated it - but the problem persists. Any ideas? Thanks

To my knowledge automatic provisioning for user level access works only for individual users part of specified group in System -> Automatic provisioning group field. Any plans to add support for AD groups added to this AD group? I hope I'm clear enough with this one. :)

Our ingestion log contains few entries 2019-04-04 19:45:16 Exception raised when writing to event storage Flare.FlareException: The FLARE extent 2019-04-03T00:00:00.0000000Z is temporarily read-only. at Flare.Storage.Native.FlareStorageExtent.AcquireWriteLock() at Flare.Storage.Native.FlareStorageExtent.Add(StructuredEvent[] events, Boolean lazyFlush) at Flare.Events.EventStore.Add(StorageEventCreationData[] eventsCreationData, Boolean lazyFlush) at Flare.Queries.DataStore.Add(StorageEventCreationData[] eventsCreationData, Boolean lazyFlush) at Seq.Server.Web.Api.RawEventsController.Ingest() 2019-04-04 19:45:16 Exception raised when writing to event storage Flare.FlareException: The FLARE extent 2019-04-03T00:00:00.0000000Z is temporarily read-only. at Flare.Storage.Native.FlareStorageExtent.AcquireWriteLock() at Flare.Storage.Native.FlareStorageExtent.Add(StructuredEvent[] events, Boolean lazyFlush) at Flare.Events.EventStore.Add(StorageEventCreationData[] eventsCreationData, Boolean lazyFlush) at Flare.Queries.DataStore.Add(StorageEventCreationData[] eventsCreationData, Boolean lazyFlush) at Seq.Server.Web.Api.RawEventsController.Ingest() 2019-04-04 19:45:16 Exception raised when writing to event storage Flare.FlareException: The FLARE extent 2019-04-03T00:00:00.0000000Z is temporarily read-only. at Flare.Storage.Native.FlareStorageExtent.AcquireWriteLock() at Flare.Storage.Native.FlareStorageExtent.Add(StructuredEvent[] events, Boolean lazyFlush) at Flare.Events.EventStore.Add(StorageEventCreationData[] eventsCreationData, Boolean lazyFlush) at Flare.Queries.DataStore.Add(StorageEventCreationData[] eventsCreationData, Boolean lazyFlush) at Seq.Server.Web.Api.RawEventsController.Ingest() 2019-04-07 19:35:12 Exception raised when writing to event storage Flare.FlareException: The FLARE extent 2019-04-03T00:00:00.0000000Z is temporarily read-only. at Flare.Storage.Native.FlareStorageExtent.AcquireWriteLock() at Flare.Storage.Native.FlareStorageExtent.Add(StructuredEvent[] events, Boolean lazyFlush) at Flare.Events.EventStore.Add(StorageEventCreationData[] eventsCreationData, Boolean lazyFlush) at Flare.Queries.DataStore.Add(StorageEventCreationData[] eventsCreationData, Boolean lazyFlush) at Seq.Server.Web.Api.RawEventsController.Ingest() What are these?

In my list of API Keys, I have a key named "None" showing up and when I open it says the following: "These settings apply to events that arrive without a valid API key. To disallow ingestion of events without a valid API key, use the Require an API key when writing events checkbox on the API Keys index page." If I go to the API Keys index page however, the specified checkbox is not available, only "Require authentication for HTTP/S ingestion". Is this the same thing?

I am using Seq v4.2.1113. I attempt to add a package (Seq.App.FileArchive). Steps: * Open Seq * Go to settings * Go to Apps * Click "Install from Nuget" * Check that nuget.org is in the drop-down * Click the button for `FileArchive` * Watch Seq.App.FileArchive be populated in the textbox * For version, leave Latest (also attempted with specific version numbers) * Click Install **Expected behavior:** App installs **Actual behavior:** * App is not installed * See an error message: `"Could not install app An error occurred while loading packages from 'https://www.nuget.org/api/v2/': Expected an absolute, well formed http URL without a query or fragment. Parameter name: serviceRoot"` * In the console, see a 400 error for `http://[RedactedServerName]/api/apps/install?feedId=nugetfeed-1&packageId=Seq.App.FileArchive&version=` * Upon going to that URL in the browser, see `"Error":"The resource `/api/apps/install` was not found on this server."` (though this is done as a GET request, so may not really be a problem) Any tips on how we might avoid this? We already have apps installed and functioning. Is this a permissions issue?

I have a dashboard alert defined that simply checks for errors (count > 0) in my application and sends an email using an instance of the email+ app. I am using the default email template from github. -------------------- Questions: -------------------- 1) It's not at all clear to me what data is available to me when I'm building the alert email. example: I want to include the application name in the subject line of the email. I've enabled override on the app instances subject property but I can't seem to use {{ApplicationName}} in this context. Is there a schema definition for the data that's available to me when the alert is triggered? 2) When I click the link to "Explore detected results in seq" in the email, I'm brought to a useless results view that shows nothing but the count. I want to be able see the applicable logged events for the alert. please advise...

Users (non admins) are not able to save personal dashboards. They are able to create a personal dashboard and add metrics without issue but when they try to save the get an error or "Could not save dashboard. Only administrators can update protected dashboards.". Is there a way to allow standard users to save their own custom dashboards?
