# Serilog.Settings.Xml [![Build status](https://ci.appveyor.com/api/projects/status/y8yctf5c6v22clqh?svg=true)](https://ci.appveyor.com/project/rsabirov/serilog-settings-xml) [![NuGet](https://img.shields.io/nuget/dt/Serilog.Settings.Xml.svg)](https://www.nuget.org/packages/Serilog.Settings.Xml/)

An XML config reader for [Serilog](https://serilog.net).

### Motivation

XML based configuration can be more suitable for some projects, because:

- xml transformations can be used

- out of the box support in MS Deploy and Octopus Deploy

- configuration consistency in leagacy (not .NET Core) projects 

### Getting started

The package needs to be installed from NuGet:

```powershell

Install-Package Serilog.Settings.Xml

```

To read configuration from xml configuration file use the `ReadFrom.Xml(filePath)` extension method on your `LoggerConfiguration`:

```csharp

Log.Logger = new LoggerConfiguration()

  .ReadFrom.Xml("serilog.config")

  ... // Other configuration here

  .CreateLogger()

```

You can mix and match XML and code-based configuration, but each sink must be configured **either** using XML **or** in code - sinks added in code can't be modified via config file.

    

### Configuration sample

```xml

    

        

        

        

        

    

    

        

        

        

        

        

    

    

        

        

    

    

        

        

    

    

        

            

        

    

```
