Apps and library updates (2023 Edition)

I've been slack in maintenance and haven't had new feature ideas as I've been somewhat abstracted from development in my current role. Nonetheless, I have gone through and updated dependencies for all apps and libraries that make sense to update. The goal here is to keep things current, although I...

Lurgle.Logging adds AWS Cloudwatch support

It's been a while since I've added functionality to Lurgle libraries, but I played around with adding AWS Cloudwatch support to Lurgle.Logging. This affords further opportunities to use Lurgle.Logging as a common logging library with all its 'baked in' benefits. To do this, I leveraged the 'official' AWS.Logger.Serilog sink. Puzzlingly,...

Seq.App.EmailPlus-Enhanced available!

Email+ (aka HTML Email) I have had some pull requests open for a while for Seq.App.EmailPlus, which are quite large in scope and degree of change. This is because they are transformational in nature - adding fallback mailhosts, delivery using DNS resolution, fine-grained TLS control, enhanced logging, and adding a...

Lurgle.Logging now supports Splunk!

Lurgle.Logging until now has supported just the File, Windows Event Log, Seq, and Console log types. It was always the intent to extend this to other log types to support the overall intent of Lurgle - accelerating and enhancing structured logging in your projects by leveraging the excellent work of...

Updating Seq.Client.EventLog for dynamic properties and more!

I have had a fair bit of mileage from Seq.Client.EventLog. It's a great little service that was quite reliable for the simple usages that I initially had. When it came to monitoring for user logins, my first port of call was here - I wound up needing to fork the...

Logging Remote Desktop Session Host logins and disconnects with Seq.Input.MSSQL!

I've already written up a couple of posts about using Seq.Input.MSSQL, but I wanted to share one more. If you use termservers (Remote Desktop Session Host) in your environment, integrated with a Remote Desktop Connection Broker, you can do something pretty funky - logging new logins and disconnects to Seq!...

Using Seq.Input.MSSQL to read SQL Job Agent tables as logs!

Following on from my last post about using Seq.Input.MSSQL to read Endpoint Protection table entries as Seq logs, I wanted to share something that has really made a huge difference for us - turning the SQL Agent job tables into Seq logs! This was actually the first full MSSQL Input...

DST update for EventX Trilogy for Seq now available!

While I was investigating a case where Event Schedule for Seq had duplicate multi-log events occurring, I noticed a Daylight Savings Time issue with the unit tests, which was evident due to an upcoming DST changeover here in Australia. It was readily apparent, of course, that with their shared DNA,...

Ingesting database queries as logs in Seq using Seq.Input.MSSQL!

Among a bunch of stars in the Seq ecosystem, Seq.Input.MSSQL has to be one of the most ambitious and coolest. This Seq input app allows you to turn just about anything with a timestamp in a SQL database into Seq logs - which in turn can power your monitoring and...
