Serilog MinimumLevel.Override

My question is how granular do I need to be with Serilog MinimumLevel.Override when it comes to the source?

For example I want to have all messages from Microsoft be logged at the Warning Level.

Will the source "Microsoft" be adequate?

.MinimumLevel.Override("Microsoft", LogEventLevel.Warning)

Or do I need to do something like this:

.MinimumLevel.Override("Microsoft", LogEventLevel.Warning)
.MinimumLevel.Override("Microsoft.AspNetCore", LogEventLevel.Warning)
....
Solution 
  • .MinimumLevel.Override("Microsoft", LogEventLevel.Warning)

    will cause all events from Microsoft, Microsoft.AspNetCore, Microsoft.AspNetCore.Hosting, etc., to be logged at the Warning level and above. It's not necessary to list every child namespace.
