Log Aggregation in .NET 8: Seq vs ELK vs Loki
The article discusses log aggregation in .NET 8, focusing on the use of Serilog and various aggregators like Seq, ELK, and Loki. It emphasizes the importance of structured logging to effectively trace requests across multiple services. The author provides guidance on setting up Serilog and choosing the right aggregator based on team size and log volume.
- ▪Log aggregation allows services to write structured log events to a central store for easier querying.
- ▪Serilog can be configured with multiple sinks, enabling logs to be sent to different destinations based on the environment.
- ▪Seq is recommended for small teams due to its ease of setup and support for structured .NET logs.

It works fine until something breaks in production.
