VSE Serilog events viewer

Visual Studio Code Extention to inspect serilog events

This vscode extention allows inspection of logs created with serilog sinks here: https://github.com/serilog/serilog-sinks-mongodb

dotnet add package Serilog.Sinks.MongoDB --version 5.1.1

Install-Package Serilog.Sinks.MongoDB -Version 5.1.1

<PackageReference Include="Serilog.Sinks.MongoDB" Version="5.1.1" />

Features:

• filter by time frame, level, content
• filter by expresion (similar to where clause in SQL)
• persist config file for future inspection
• shortcuts for fast use:
  • 'f' toggle filter panel
  • 'esc' toggle expression filtering
  • inside expression editor 'ctrl-up' & 'ctrl-down' sets previous or next expression in current session history
  • 'a' move time-frame back
  • 'x' move time-frame forward
  • 'e' filter by level error
  • 'w' filter by level warning
  • 'd' filter by level debug
  • 'i' filter by level info
  • 'q' filter by level info
