💫 Changed

• [BREAKING CHANGE] The API for creating a sink has changed. The sink was originally intended for IPv4 addresses, but has along the way gotten support for host names and IPv6 addresses. These changes calls for a small redesign of the API, benefiting the majority of the consumers using application settings instead of code configuration. The following chapters will describe your migration path.

Migrate sink created by code

Lets assume you have configured the sink using code, and your code looks something like this.

Serilog.ILogger log = new LoggerConfiguration()
  .MinimumLevel.Verbose()
  .WriteTo.Udp(IPAddress.Loopback, 7071)
  .CreateLogger();

The Udp extension is no longer accepting IPAddress as first argument, and you are now required to specify the address family your remote address is targeting. Lets change the code above to conform to the new API.

Serilog.ILogger log = new LoggerConfiguration()
  .MinimumLevel.Verbose()
  .WriteTo.Udp("localhost", 7071, AddressFamily.InterNetwork)
  .CreateLogger();

Migrate sink created by application settings

Lets assume you have configured the sink using application settings, and your configuration looks something like this.

{
  "Serilog": {
    "MinimumLevel": "Verbose",
    "WriteTo": [
      {
        "Name": "Udp",
        "Args": {
          "remoteAddress": "localhost",
          "remotePort": 7071
        }
      }
    ]
  }
}

You are now required to specify the address family your remote address is targeting. Lets change the configuration above to conform to the new API.

{
  "Serilog": {
    "MinimumLevel": "Verbose",
    "WriteTo": [
      {
        "Name": "Udp",
        "Args": {
          "remoteAddress": "localhost",
          "remotePort": 7071,
          "family": "InterNetwork"
        }
      }
    ]
  }
}
