What is the advantage of using Otel instead of serilog for logging?

Hi,
Can I ask What is the advantage of using Otel instead of serilog for logging here?
Because serilog has a lot of enrichers and features

[davidfowl]

Open telemetry covers more than just logging, it's logging, metrics and distributed tracing. You can still use serilog alongside open telemetry for logging (since the provider model supports that).

I know open telemetry is very powerful in tracing and metrics but in logging I think it is not a good option, and I think using both serilog and otel logging has performance issue

[davidfowl]

Then don't use it for logging 😄.

[mehdihadeli]

Yes :D just that was a question.
Keep going, this project is awesome ;)

[davidfowl]

I'll switch to serilog for logging. It'll be a good showcase of OSS and seq is a really nice tool!

[mehdihadeli]

@davidfowl Yes, I agree :) If you like I can contribute for this part

[davidfowl]

Please do.

Ok, I will do it
