It works on my machine! Logging and Metrics with .NET Core
summary
A small MVC app logs via Kestrel and the built-in ILogger, then switches to Serilog (console, debug, MSSQL sink) with correlation IDs and configurable appsettings per environment; health checks expose SQL connectivity and a UI wrapper; metrics use App Metrics writing to InfluxDB and a Grafana dashboard; Application Insights ingestion via instrumentation key shows failures and full stack traces; demo includes GitHub repo with branches for each step and a claim that the dashboards and logging pipeline successfully surface errors and scale signals for a 10 million requests/day requirement.
