Thanks for the comment. Glad you enjoyed.

Thanks a lot Sanjay.

Serilog also does a good job.

No problem

What field are you trying to add? And where?

Hi Cesar. Thanks for your comment. All you need to do is inject the ILogger type as a parameter into the Hosted Service constructor. You can then set its instance as a local variable within the Hosted Service and use the extension methods to log.

@@RoundTheCode thanks for the reply. I tried that but the ilogger in the constructor of the hosted service had a generic type of the hosted service class. So I ended up injecting an iloggerfactory and passing it as a parameter. Just got it working now. And from the iloggerfactory I can create a logger with the type of the current class. But thanks for the help.

Here is information on how you can write to a file: www.roundthecode.com/dotnet/create-your-own-logging-provider-to-log-to-text-files-in-net-core
