How can I get some contextual data in my sink

I am trying to write a custom sink that will write log entries to an internal system when the log event is related to a message on our message bus. Is it possible to attach and retrieve this data from either the log event or the log context?



public void Emit(LogEvent logEvent)
{
//How to get this?
MyMessageBusType correlatedMessage = null;
if(correlatedMessage != null)
{
var logMessage = logEvent.RenderMessage(formatProvider);
internalSystemClient.WriteLog(correlatedMessage, logMessage);
}
}

  • A LogEvent has a .Properties. you can feed stuff in with Enrichers and/or LogContext.PushContext ?

  • @RubenBartelink yes, I have looked a bit at the Properties-dictionary, but the return type only has a public method to Render it to a TextWriter, which does not help very much in my case.

  • Ah, they are ScalarValues etc. I don't have any C# code to hand, but there's a 5% chance that github.com/jet/CallPolly/blob/… will give you a leg up on understanding how to type check-pattern match down the hierarchy. The bottom line is that there is an object model in Serilog.Events which defines the structure - tit's all pretty well-structured. I'd suggest looking in the serilog/serilog code to infer anything you need
