Is there a plan to support for XML configuration?

[faridprogrammer]

Hi all.

I have noticed in the readme file which the XML configuration is not supported in this wrapper.
Any work hasn't done yet to support XML configuration?

Is there a plan to do it?

Thanks.

Hi Farid! No, not anything planned currently that I know of.

Best regards,
Nick

Do you have any suggestions that can guide me through implementing XML configuration support? To see if I can implement it myself or not.

Hey there! It's been 2 years since the OP asked about this feature. Do you have any update for it please? Thanks!

@HunteRoi no, no updates.

I tried this out and it seems to work, except I have to add a null WriteTo to force the configuration to load successfully, here's an example.

<configuration>
  <Serilog>
    <MinimumLevel>
      <Default>Verbose</Default>
      <Override>
        <Microsoft>Warning</Microsoft>
      </Override>
    </MinimumLevel>
    <WriteTo>
      <Name>Async</Name>
      <Args>
        <configure>
          <Name>Console</Name>
          <Args>
            <outputTemplate>{Timestamp:yyyy-MM-dd HH:mm:ss.fffff} [{ThreadId,6}] {Level,11}: {Message:l}{NewLine}{Exception}</outputTemplate>
            <restrictedToMinimumLevel>Verbose</restrictedToMinimumLevel>
          </Args>
        </configure>
        <configure>
          <Name>File</Name>
          <Args>
            <path>%ALLUSERSPROFILE%/Company/App/Logs/Radio/App/app-.log</path>
            <fileSizeLimitBytes>5242880</fileSizeLimitBytes>
            <rollOnFileSizeLimit>true</rollOnFileSizeLimit>
            <rollingInterval>Day</rollingInterval>
            <retainedFileCountLimit>15</retainedFileCountLimit>
            <outputTemplate>{UtcTimestamp:yyyy-MM-dd HH:mm:ss.fffff}Z|{Timestamp:yyyy-MM-dd HH:mm:ss.fffff} [{ThreadId,6}] {Level,11}: {Message:l}{NewLine}{Exception}</outputTemplate>
            <restrictedToMinimumLevel>Verbose</restrictedToMinimumLevel>
          </Args>
        </configure>
      </Args>
    </WriteTo>
    <WriteTo>
      <Name>null</Name>
    </WriteTo>
  </Serilog>
</configuration>
