[Question] Parsing back log files create by ECS for Serilog.

[LiorBanai]

Hi, I want to create a parser for exist log file for my https://github.com/Analogy-LogViewer/Analogy.LogViewer application.

Is there an example how to read back a file? All the units test seems to only write logs.

Hi,

I guess you can just read the log file using File.ReadAllLines() and then parse every line using EcsDocument.Deserialize(). You'll need to reference Elastic.CommonSchema package for that.

@andreycha Thanks, I'll try it.

BTW, are the latest changes released as nuget? The last one is from 2021

[andreycha]

No. Looks like the plan is to upgrade the library right to 8.4.0, I believe you can follow it here: https://github.com/elastic/ecs-dotnet/issues/197
