Serilog not reading from logging section in appsettings.json

Question

This my logger config:

var loggerConfig = new LoggerConfiguration()
        //.MinimumLevel
        //.Information() //These are not working from appsettings.json possibly because we are using Serilog?
        //.MinimumLevel.Override("Microsoft.EntityFrameworkCore.Database.Command", LogEventLevel.Warning)
        .ReadFrom.Configuration(configuration,"Logging")
        .WriteTo.Console()
        .WriteTo.File(
            $"{configuration.GetValue<string>("logFilePath")}{DateTime.Now.Date:yyyy_MM_dd}_{assemblyName}.log");
        
var logger = loggerConfig.CreateLogger();

services.AddLogging(loggingBuilder =>
    {
        loggingBuilder.ClearProviders();
        loggingBuilder.AddSerilog(logger);
    });

This is the logging section of my appsettings.json:

"Logging": {
    "LogLevel": {
      "Default": "Debug",
      "Microsoft": "Information",
      "Microsoft.Hosting.Lifetime": "Information",
      "Microsoft.EntityFrameworkCore.Database.Command": "Warning"
    }

The logging is not following the settings from levels from setting and seems like defaulting to information.

I also tried the following and it did not work

"Logging": {
    "MinimumLevel": {
      "Default": "Debug",
      "Override": {
        "System": "Information",
        "Microsoft": "Information",
        "Microsoft.Hosting.Lifetime": "Information",
        "Microsoft.EntityFrameworkCore": "Warning"
      }
    }

A sample of configuration Serilog: uncomment line to have a json ouput

{
  "Serilog": {
    "Using": [],
    "MinimumLevel": {
      "Default": "Information",
      "Override": {
        "Microsoft": "Warning",
        "System": "Warning"
      }
    },
    "WriteTo": [
      { "Name": "Console" },
      {
        "Name": "File",
        "Args": {
          "path": "C:/Users/itki4060/Desktop/DBLite/log/log.txt",
          "rollingInterval": "Month",
          "retainedFileCountLimit": 13
          //"formatter": "Serilog.Formatting.Json.JsonFormatter, Serilog"
        }
      }
    ]
  },

the you could use the config like this:

var builder = new ConfigurationBuilder().SetBasePath(AppDomain.CurrentDomain.BaseDirectory)
                                        .AddJsonFile("appsettings.json");


var config = builder.Build();

Log.Logger = new LoggerConfiguration().ReadFrom.Configuration(config)
                                      .CreateLogger();

Log is static:

Log.Information("i am logging");
