Serilog.Sinks.Splunk

A Serilog sink that writes events to the Splunk. Supports .NET 4.5+, .NET Core, and platforms compatible with the .NET Platform Standard net45, netstandard1.1, netstandard2.0.

Package - Serilog.Sinks.Splunk

Getting started

To get started install the Serilog.Sinks.Splunk package:

PM> Install-Package Serilog.Sinks.Splunk

OR

$ dotnet add package Serilog.Sinks.Splunk

If using the TCP or UDP sinks install the following packages

• TCP: Serilog.Sinks.Splunk.TCP
• UDP: Serilog.Sinks.Splunk.UDP

To start using the Splunk Event Collector (Splunk 6.3 and above), logging can be setup as follows.

var log = new LoggerConfiguration()
    .WriteTo.EventCollector("https://mysplunk:8088/services/collector/event", "myeventcollectortoken")
    .CreateLogger();

If using appsettings.json for configuration the following example illustrates using the Event Collector and Console sinks.
