Writing to Azure appears to stop after 10/15 minutes of app running about serilog-sinks-azuredocumentdb

I have created a test dotnet core web application with Serilog.Sinks.AzureDocumentDB sink configured and deployed as Azure App Service. It's been running for few hours and I haven't noticed any issue with logging.

Please keep in mind that new sink requires dotnet core version 1.1.0+. I'm closing this issue. However, if you still have issue with sink, feel free to leave a message.

Thanks for the report - sounds like some investigation is needed. Let us know if you need help making sense of what's going on in there 👍

@buzallen, Thanks for reporting issue. I'll investigate what's going on. However, this sink is using preview version of Microsoft Azure DocumentDB driver so bugs are expected and may not be used for production. Please see https://www.nuget.org/packages/Microsoft.Azure.DocumentDB.Core/

Thanks @saleem-mirza , that's a good point. I'm testing sinks for now but I'll keep that in mind when it's time to move forward.

Saleem, you're a powerhouse :-) kudos for all of your work on this sink!

[buzallen]

Thanks @saleem-mirza. Interesting I still have the issue on my end. I'll have to investigate if something is configured incorrectly on my end. I get about 5 minutes of logs to the document db and then it stops writing anything. I'll re-post here if I discover anything. Thanks again.

@buzallen my project.json, Startup.cs and Controller looks like as

Note: I removed unrelated stuff for sake of brevity

project.json

    {
      "dependencies": {
        "Microsoft.NETCore.App": {
          "version": "1.1.0",
          "type": "platform"
        },
        "Serilog": "2.3.0",
        "Serilog.Sinks.AzureDocumentDb": "3.5.17"
      },
      "frameworks": {
        "netcoreapp1.6": {
          "imports": [
            "dotnet5.6",
            "dnxcore50",
            "portable-net45+win8"
          ]
        }
      }
    }

Startup.cs (ConfigureServices)

        public void ConfigureServices(IServiceCollection services)
        {
            // Add framework services.
            services.AddDbContext<ApplicationDbContext>(options =>
                options.UseSqlite(Configuration.GetConnectionString("DefaultConnection")));

            services.AddIdentity<ApplicationUser, IdentityRole>()
                .AddEntityFrameworkStores<ApplicationDbContext>()
                .AddDefaultTokenProviders();

            services.AddMvc();

            services.AddSingleton<Serilog.ILogger>(
                new Serilog.LoggerConfiguration()
                .WriteTo.AzureDocumentDB(
                    "https://xxxxx.documents.azure.com:443/",
                    "xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx"
                )
                .MinimumLevel.Verbose()
                .CreateLogger());
        }

HomeController.cs

    public class HomeController : Controller
    {
        Serilog.ILogger _logger;

        public HomeController(Serilog.ILogger logger)
        {
            _logger = logger;
            _logger.Information("HomeController constructor called.");
        }

    ...

Hopefully, it will shed some light.

Thanks again @saleem-mirza . Switching to your implementation does work. For reasons I'm unsure of when I set it up like I do in my original post above is when it stops logging.
