Specify how complex types are logged to Serilog by excluding individual properties.

Destructurama.ByIgnoring

Specify how complex types are logged to Serilog by excluding individual properties.

Installation

Install from NuGet:

Install-Package Destructurama.ByIgnoring

Usage

Mark properties to ignore on target types:

Log.Logger = new LoggerConfiguration()
    .Destructure.ByIgnoringProperties<User>(u => u.Password)
    // Other logger configuration
    .CreateLogger()

Mark properties to ignore on assignable types:

Log.Logger = new LoggerConfiguration()
    .Destructure.ByIgnoringPropertiesOfTypeAssignableTo<User>(u => u.Password)
    // Other logger configuration
    .CreateLogger()

When these types are destructured, all instance (that is not static) properties except the specified ones will be passed through:

Log.Information("Logged on {@User}", new User { Username = "nick", Password = "This is ignored" });

// Prints `Logged on User { Username: "nick"  }`
