What is it?​

The Azure Application Insights sink is an extension of the official Application Insights sink that allows you to not only emit traces or events, but the whole Application Insights suite of telemetry types - Traces, Dependencies, Events, Requests & Metrics.

You can easily configure the sink by providing the Azure Application Insights key:

using Serilog;
using Serilog.Configuration;

ILogger logger = new LoggerConfiguration()
    .MinimumLevel.Debug()
    .WriteTo.AzureApplicationInsights("<key>")
    .CreateLogger();

Alternatively, you can override the default minimum log level to reduce amount of telemetry being tracked :

using Serilog;
using Serilog.Configuration;

ILogger logger = new LoggerConfiguration()
    .MinimumLevel.Debug()
    .WriteTo.AzureApplicationInsights("<key>", restrictedToMinimumLevel: LogEventLevel.Warning)
    .CreateLogger();
