Serilog Alternatives & Comparisons

What are some alternatives to Serilog?

Logstash

Logstash

Logstash is a tool for managing events and logs. You can use it to collect logs, parse them, and store them for later use (like, for searching). If you store them in Elasticsearch, you can view and analyze them with Kibana.

Logback

Logback

It is intended as a successor to the popular log4j project. It is divided into three modules, logback-core, logback-classic and logback-access. The logback-core module lays the groundwork for the other two modules, logback-classic natively implements the SLF4J API so that you can readily switch back and forth between logback and other logging frameworks and logback-access module integrates with Servlet containers, such as Tomcat and Jetty, to provide HTTP-access log functionality.

SLF4J

SLF4J

It is a simple Logging Facade for Java (SLF4J) serves as a simple facade or abstraction for various logging frameworks allowing the end user to plug in the desired logging framework at deployment time.

ELK

ELK

It is the acronym for three open source projects: Elasticsearch, Logstash, and Kibana. Elasticsearch is a search and analytics engine. Logstash is a server‑side data processing pipeline that ingests data from multiple sources simultaneously, transforms it, and then sends it to a "stash" like Elasticsearch. Kibana lets users visualize data with charts and graphs in Elasticsearch.

Splunk

Splunk

It provides the leading platform for Operational Intelligence. Customers use it to search, monitor, analyze and visualize machine data.

Fluentd

Fluentd

Fluentd collects events from various data sources and writes them to files, RDBMS, NoSQL, IaaS, SaaS, Hadoop and so on. Fluentd helps you unify your logging infrastructure.

Needs adviceonC#C#Visual StudioVisual Studio.NET Core.NET Core

Hi All, I am working upon developing a C# based windows service to work as a TCP server using Visual Studio 2019 as a development studio while using .NET Core 3.0.

As its a background application, therefore, I am up on to add tracing and logging feature into it and want to write to 'text file' my trace and log outputs.

By my research, I came upon 2 potential tracing and logging frameworks and on the verge to choose 1, therefore Serilog OR NLog.

Anyone here who can help me out by his/her experience of 1 framework being better than other.?
