Overview

The Report Server for .NET uses Serilog to allow writing diagnostic logging information from the server onto a file for easier troubleshooting.

Setup

The configuration options for Serilog that would usually be set up through the C# API - Serilog Configuration Basics, can instead be defined in the appsettings.json configuration files of the Report Server for .NET.

Report Server Manager

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\. The following configuration settings can be added to that file, at the top level:

• JSON

  "Serilog": {
   "MinimumLevel": "Verbose",
    "WriteTo": [
      {
        "Name": "Console"
      },
      {
        "Name": "File",
        "Args": { "path": "Logs/logServerManagerAll.txt" }
      }
    ]
  }

Service Agent

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\. The following configuration settings can be added to that file, at the top level:

• JSON

  "Serilog": {
   "MinimumLevel": "Verbose",
    "WriteTo": [
      {
        "Name": "Console"
      },
      {
        "Name": "File",
        "Args": { "path": "Logs/logServiceAgentAll.txt" }
      }
    ]
  }
