Description
Serilog offers a rich template string interface for logging, but currently we have a single template and build strings for it.
@SeeminglyScience suggested we should instead implement an ITextFormatter
for the various things we want to log.
In the original Serilog migration I made the following choices:
- Contain Serilog references in a single part of the code
- Maintain the old log level system rather than Serilog's
- Use the
ILogger
interface still
Serilog has fairly rich functionality but because of the way its named-argument string templating works, I'm not sure it can be used indirectly.
But a good use of Serilog would probably involve us using it directly, with its log levels, and ideally using the log-level-named methods (logger.Verbose
, logger.Error
, etc.).
With this, we would probably want to use Serilog's ILogger
rather than our own implementation.
We should also migrate the testing away from writing a text file and toward making test sink for Serilog.
