I used to use NLog for logging until I've discovered Serilog ( http://serilog.net/ ) - simple .NET logging with fully-structured events.

Serilog is awesome. Log context is awesome.

I'm a bit torn because ETW is prob the way forward for us but it doesn't have a good ecosystem currently and offers nothing like log context... Though some higher order function magics might help.

Serilog to me is a much more modern logging solution. Allows us to pipe logs to table storage/sqlserver/loggly/logentries/docdb/azure event hub ... its the backbone of our app - really just awesome

would you be interested in sharing your setup or pointers toward a good solution with Serilog? I found that something other than a basic setup requires a good chuck of effort to get going. For example, configuration (all code) and IOC.
