SERILOG DB LOGGING WITHOUT PASSWORD

[DhanushAdla]

Hello,

Good day!

I’m trying to implement Serilog to log the errors to Azure Managed Instance database, I’m using .net core 6 application. it’s an API and we have serilog implementation in program.cs file. Can someone please help in configuring this serilog to write logs to Azute MI db without ID and Password in connection string.

Thanks,
Dhanush Adla

Hi @DhanushAdla!

Generally this sink can use a managed identity connection string via the Microsoft SqlClient library. Here are some samples of how you have to set your connection string to configure your sink for managed identity.

https://learn.microsoft.com/en-us/sql/connect/ado-net/sql/azure-active-directory-authentication?view=sql-server-ver16#using-active-directory-managed-identity-authentication

In the samples directory of our source code you will find small sample apps which use connection strings.

Since you have only a general question and not a particular problem with the software or enhancement proposal, i will set this issue to closed.
