c# - How to use ReadFrom.AppSettings in Serilog -

i discovered serilog , love it. however, i'm struggling read app.config.

code configuration:

ilogger logger = new loggerconfiguration()     .readfrom.appsettings()     //.minimumlevel.verbose()     .enrich.withprocessid()     .enrich.withthreadid()     .enrich.withmachinename()     .destructure.usingattributes()     //.writeto.mssqlserver(@"server=evdvwadbv1;database=applog;trusted_connection=true;", "logs")     .createlogger(); log.logger = logger; 

the commented out sections configuration values want read config file.

the config file contains:

<appsettings>     <add key="serilog:minimum-level" value="verbose"/>     <add key="serilog:using" value="serilog.sinks.mssqlserver"/>     <add key="serilog:write-to:mssqlserver.connectionstring" value="server=evdvwadbv1;database=applog;trusted_connection=true;"/>     <add key="serilog:writeto:mssqlserver.tablename" value="logs"/>     <add key="serilog:write-to:rollingfile.pathformat" value="c:\logs\myapp-{date}.txt" />     <add key="serilog:write-to:rollingfile.retainedfilecountlimit" value="10" /> </appsettings> 

i'm using following serilog packages.

<package id="serilog" version="1.5.14" targetframework="net452" /> <package id="serilog.sinks.mssqlserver" version="3.0.41" targetframework="net452" /> 

i added first line of console app. i'm not seeing errors on console.

serilog.debugging.selflog.out = console.out; 

what missing?

it looks may have typo in configuration:

serilog:writeto:mssqlserver.tablename 

missing dash:

serilog:write-to:mssqlserver.tablename
