| 11 | +# Overview |
| 12 | + |
| 13 | +The Report Server for .NET uses [Serilog](https://serilog.net/) to allow writing diagnostic logging information from the server onto a file for easier troubleshooting. |
| 14 | + |
| 15 | +## Setup |
| 16 | + |
| 17 | +The configuration options for Serilog that would usually be set up through the C# API - [Serilog Configuration Basics](https://github.com/serilog/serilog/wiki/Configuration-Basics), can instead be |
| 18 | +defined in the `appsettings.json` configuration files of the Report Server for .NET. |
| 19 | + |
| 20 | +### Report Server Manager |
| 21 | + |
| 22 | +The `appsettings.json` file of the Report Server Manager for .NET resides in its installation directory, for example, `C:\Program Files (x86)\Progress\Telerik Report Server\Telerik.ReportServer.Web.NET\`. |
| 23 | +The following configuration settings can be added to that file, at the top level: |
| 24 | + |
| 25 | +````JSON |
| 26 | + "Serilog": { |
| 27 | + "MinimumLevel": "Verbose", |
| 28 | + "WriteTo": [ |
| 29 | + { |
| 30 | + "Name": "Console" |
| 31 | + }, |
| 32 | + { |
| 33 | + "Name": "File", |
| 34 | + "Args": { "path": "Logs/logServerManagerAll.txt" } |
| 35 | + } |
| 36 | + ] |
| 37 | + } |
| 38 | +```` |
| 39 | + |
| 40 | +### Service Agent |
| 41 | + |
| 42 | +The Report Server for .NET ServiceAgent's `appsettings.json` file can be found in its installation directory, by default - `C:\Program Files (x86)\Progress\Telerik Report Server\Services\.NET\`. |
| 43 | +The following configuration settings can be added to that file, at the top level: |
| 44 | + |
| 45 | +````JSON |
| 46 | + "Serilog": { |
| 47 | + "MinimumLevel": "Verbose", |
| 48 | + "WriteTo": [ |
| 49 | + { |
| 50 | + "Name": "Console" |
| 51 | + }, |
| 52 | + { |
| 53 | + "Name": "File", |
| 54 | + "Args": { "path": "Logs/logServiceAgentAll.txt" } |
| 55 | + } |
| 56 | + ] |
| 57 | + } |
| 58 | +```` |
| 59 | + |
