Serilog Crestron

About

A collection of sinks, enrichers, and extensions used to create structured logging on Crestron Automation Platform for Audio And Video integration. Used on Crestron 4-Series Control Appliances and Control Servers.

Get Started

To use the different sinks, enrichers and extensions, first install the NuGet package:

dotnet add package Serilog.Crestron

Crestron Console Sink

To enable sinks that write to a Crestron Console use:

Log.Logger = new LoggerConfiguration()
    .WriteTo.CrestronConsole()
    .CreateLogger();

Log.Information("Hello world");

When connected via ssh or using toolbox text console tool, you'll see the output:

[12:50:51 INF] Hello, world!

Crestron Error Log Sink

To enable sinks that write to a the Crestron Error Log use:

Log.Logger = new LoggerConfiguration()
    .WriteTo.CrestronErrorLog()
    .CreateLogger();

Log.Information("Hello world");

When connected using toolbox text console tool enter ERRLOG PLOGALL and you will see

6. Notice: SimplSharpPro[App01] # 2023-04-01 11:24:36 # [INF] Hello, world!

or when using VC4 connect via ssh, enter JOURNALCTL -xef -u VirtualControl and you will see an entry like this on:

Apr 03 22:05:33 VC4 SimplSharpPro[50389]: [INF] Hello, world!

Enrichers

The enrichers supported are:

• SlotNo: Provides the number of the slot the program is running on for Processors, or the Room Instance Id for Virtual Control
• ProgramName: Provides the Name of the Running Program. The assembly name in Processors , or the Program name in Virtual Control

Add Enrich.WithSlotNo() and/or Enrich.WithProgramName() to the LoggerConfiguration()

_crestronErrorLog = new LoggerConfiguration()
    .Enrich.WithSlotNo()
    .Enrich.WithProgramName()
    .WriteTo.CrestronErrorLog(
        outputTemplate: "[{Level:u3} {SlotNo}-{ProgramName}] {Message:lj}")
    .CreateLogger();  

Extensions

An extension to ILogger that adds the following properties to the running log:

• FileName: Name of the File where the log originated
• MemberName: Name of the containing Method where the log originated
• LineNumber: Line Number where the log originated

Add this extension add it to the Global Logger or instance logger

 Log.Logger.FromHere().Verbose("{FileName}-{MemberName}-{LineNumber} Something to log");
 _myLog.FromHere().Verbose("{FileName}-{MemberName}-{LineNumber} Something to log");
