# Logging
The MassTransit framework has fully adopted the Microsoft.Extensions.Logging (opens new window) framework.
So, it will use whatever logging configuration is already in your container.
# Examples
# Basic Configuration
By integrating with Microsoft.Extensions.Logging the basic configuration is no configuration. 🎉
When you run a project using the HostBuilder features of .Net you will get a basic logging experience right
out of the box.
# Serilog
At MassTransit, we are big fans of Serilog (opens new window) and use this default configuration as a starting point in most projects.
dotnet add package Serilog.Extensions.Hosting
dotnet add package Serilog
dotnet add package Serilog.Sinks.Console
public static IHostBuilder CreateHostBuilder(string[] args)
{
return Host.CreateDefaultBuilder(args)
.UseSerilog((host, log) =>
{
if (host.HostingEnvironment.IsProduction())
log.MinimumLevel.Information();
else
log.MinimumLevel.Debug();
log.MinimumLevel.Override("Microsoft", LogEventLevel.Warning);
log.MinimumLevel.Override("Quartz", LogEventLevel.Information);
log.WriteTo.Console();
})
.ConfigureWebHostDefaults(webBuilder =>
{
webBuilder.UseStartup<Startup>();
});
}
