Get all Seq logs from requests that meet some condition

I'm using Seq to capture logs on a local API and I want to find log messages for slow requests.

Each request is writing several logs and one of them includes the total time the request took. I can use something like RequestTime > 500 to find those logs but it doesn't include the other logs for those requests (understandably). That tells me which APIs are slow but not why they're slow, the other logs will provide that information.

Is there a way to ask Seq to return all log messages for requests that meet a condition (like the one for total request time above)? They all have a RequestId value that can be used to identify which logs belong to each request.

I'm aware I can export the results of the first query and use an excel like tool to grab all the request IDs and do an IN clause. I'm looking for a single step option if it exists.

Solution

  • There's no single-step option in Seq for this, today.
