Adding another logger to Umbraco (V13)

I am trying to add another logger to Umbraco (Serilog Email Sink), however, I am unsure where to add the logger in Startup.cs. I am on Umbraco V13.

I know how to create the new LoggerConfiguration, but what I don't knwo is what to do with it then :-)

I try to do it in code, rather than in appsettings.json, since this way, it is easier to pull in secret credential information from other places.

Any hint appreciated :-) ! Kind regards, Mikael

I got this part from ChatGPT, but I haven't tried it yet. They mentioned two methods. Please check if it doesn't work, and let me know. I will verify it.

var builder = WebApplication.CreateBuilder(args);

Log.Logger = new LoggerConfiguration()
.WriteTo.Email(new EmailConnectionInfo
{
    FromEmail = "[email protected]",
    ToEmail = "[email protected]",
    MailServer = "smtp.your-email-server.com",
    NetworkCredentials = new NetworkCredential("[email protected]", "your-password"),
    EmailSubject = "Log Email",
    Port = 587, // SMTP port
    EnableSsl = true
})
.CreateLogger();

builder.Logging.ClearProviders(); builder.Logging.AddSerilog();var app = builder.Build();

another approach will be using appsettings.

 {"Serilog": {
"Using": ["Serilog.Sinks.Email"],
"WriteTo": [
  {
    "Name": "Email",
    "Args": {
      "FromEmail": "[email protected]",
      "ToEmail": "[email protected]",
      "MailServer": "smtp.your-email-server.com",
      "NetworkCredentials": {
        "UserName": "[email protected]",
        "Password": "your-password"
      },
      "EmailSubject": "Log Email",
      "Port": 587,
      "EnableSsl": true
    }
  }
]}} 

builder.Host.UseSerilog((context, services, configuration) =>{
configuration.ReadFrom.Configuration(context.Configuration);});
