Sending log to a specific stream

[fabercs]

I am using 2.0 version of this library for my Asp.Net 4.5.1 project. I am trying to send my logs to our company server which has specific streams for each application in the company. I couldn't achieve to see my logs on the server dashboard.

Here my code.

_logger = new LoggerConfiguration()
        .WriteTo.Graylog(new GraylogSinkOptions {
            HostnameOrAddress = "server",
            Port =port,
            TransportType = TransportType.Udp
       })
        //.Enrich.WithProperty("LogSource", "applicationName")
           .Enrich.WithProperty("AdditionalFields" , new { application = "applicationName" })
           .MinimumLevel.Information()
           .CreateLogger();

I am not sure but Graylog GELF specification expects an applicationName for the stream, how can I send these additional fields via this (Serilog graylog) extension? (Tried with Enrich api but not worked)

@fabercs the GELF specification not expect application name as required field. try configure logger like

var applicationName = "MyApplicationName";
_logger = new LoggerConfiguration()
        .WriteTo.Graylog(new GraylogSinkOptions {
            HostnameOrAddress = "server",
            Port =port,
            TransportType = TransportType.Udp
       })
           .Enrich.WithProperty("ApplicationName" , applicationName )
           .MinimumLevel.Information()
           .CreateLogger();

send some logs, and try to find it in all logs stream. After that make stream rules as you want.

@whir1 Thank you for your answer, in our Graylog configuration, a stream is configured as an applicationName field required. So later, I did exactly what you post, but still, no log received. Also, to ensure I tried with a .net core project if stream accepts any log for the given application name. So, I could get logs from that project. I am not sure what I am missing.
