Overwrite Serilog Sinks via Json Configuration

I have a Configuration in code:

...
config.WriteTo.Console(
                theme: AnsiConsoleTheme.Code,
                outputTemplate: "{Timestamp:HH:mm:ss} [{Level:u3}] [Pid={ProcessId}] [Td={ThreadId}] {Message}{NewLine}{Exception}");
...

this Configuration I would like to overwrite in the JSON Configuration file:

{
  "Serilog": {
    "Using":  ["Serilog.Sinks.Console"],
    "MinimumLevel": "Debug",
    "WriteTo": [
      { "Name": "Console","Args":{...}},
    ]
  }
}

Unfortunately it seems like it is only possible to ADD Sinks via the Config File. Is there a way to overwrite existing configurations?

Solution

  • No, the code and configuration APIs to Serilog are completely separate, so it's only possible to add sinks via configuration.
