Hi,

Just wondering what tools you would use this serilog extension with in order to see the logs

Cheers

Ah, just seen the title...

It's been a while since I've used windows. For Dev work I've used wireshark to see network traffic.... Is that what you mean?

Was writing the other comments while I was out and about...

You can get ELK running locally using https://www.elastic.co/blog/a-full-stack-in-one-command. If you're interested in seeing why you might want to log using this sink that's probably the best way.

If you're only interested in seeing what is being sent for debug (or similar) purposes you can use https://www.wireshark.org/ or https://www.charlesproxy.com/ (lots of people have recommended charles to me but I haven't used it).

As I said earlier if I've misunderstood or you still want to know more just let me know

I'll close this but do feel free to ask further questions if you have them. I'm on twitter @pauldambra too if you want to chat there
