Welcome to the Seq documentation hub. You'll find comprehensive guides and documentation to help you start working with Seq as quickly as possible, as well as support if you get stuck. Let's jump right in!
Hello, does Seq support a UDP interface for accepting log events? Our use case is that we want to send logging data to Seq, but if Seq is down we don't want our production systems to be affected -- we'd rather lose log events in this case. Our specific case would be using the NLog adapter, but I'd also be interested in more general information. I couldn't find anything about it in the documentation, except for a very brief mention on https://blog.getseq.net/serilog-tutorial/. Thanks! Will

Hi, our employees are interested to use your software to quickly identify and diagnose problems in complex applications and microservices. In order to do so I have to receive an official quote and raise a PO on our system, however in order to do so I need to set you up on our system as a new vendor. Please contact me on my email so I can send you a form for completion. Kind regards Agnieszka

We are no longer receiving logs on SEQ since last Friday morning. Two changes occurred at that time.... TLS 1.0 was disabled on all servers. ….. (it is now re-enabled on the SEQ server only) Windows updates were run on all servers. …..(all have been removed on the SEQ server only) Full error: App host failed unexpectedly System.IO.FileLoadException: Could not load file or assembly 'Serilog.Sinks.File, Version=2.0.0.0, Culture=neutral, PublicKeyToken=24c2f752a8e58a10' or one of its dependencies. The media is write protected. (Exception from HRESULT: 0x80070013) File name: 'Serilog.Sinks.File, Version=2.0.0.0, Culture=neutral, PublicKeyToken=24c2f752a8e58a10' at Serilog.Sinks.RollingFile.RollingFileSink.Dispose() at Serilog.LoggerConfiguration.<CreateLogger>b__28_0() at Seq.App.FileArchive.ArchiveWriterReactor.Dispose() at Seq.Apps.GenericHost.Program.<Main>d__0.MoveNext() WRN: Assembly binding logging is turned OFF. To enable assembly bind failure logging, set the registry value [HKLM\Software\Microsoft\Fusion!EnableLog] (DWORD) to 1. Note: There is some performance penalty associated with assembly bind failure logging. To turn this feature off, remove the registry value [HKLM\Software\Microsoft\Fusion!EnableLog]. Do we need TLS 1.0 turned back on for each server from which we are gathering logs? Is there a technical guide to securing the service protocols? Many thanks...we are done.

I've recently turned on AAD authentication and I get an error telling me that my return url is incorrect. I've followed the instructions and add "/aad" onto the end of the root url but I cannot login. It may be because there were no users configured when I turned on AAD and now I'm locked out. I've tried going back to using basic authentication using seq.exe, but as I didn't have any users setup at all, I'm unable to do so as each time I try to a command like seq auth --basic -u=admin -p=admin it tells me that a user with that username was not found. Help! How do I recover my seqlog install?

Hi. I've added an enrichment property to my logs called 'runSession'. It is the ticks of the current time when my app starts. The idea was that it would be applied to all my logs so that I could quickly everything from the 'last run' (this is for dev time). I can read it in Seq with this query. select max(runSession) from stream I was hoping to create a signal that would run this query, get the result and then filter on that - thereby allowing a quick way to filter to logs from the last session. Is this possible? Thanks :-)

Hi! I log the duration of different things to SEQ. And now I'm trying to create a dashboard that will show how many logs there are in different duration ranges. For example, I'd like to have a plot for the number of logs with duration 0-5seconds, one plot for logs with 5-10seconds, one for 10-30seconds, etc. Is this possible? I'm trying something like this, but I cant get it to work select COUNT(*) as NumberOfInserts, SUM(duration > 5000) as slow, SUM(duration > 10000) as slower from stream where EventId.Id = 99 group by time(1h) limit 10000 Would it be possible?

Hi I would love to be able to expose some Seq dashboards to people that is not users in Seq. To somehow be able to select a dashboard, or individual widgets from the dashboard to be made public. I would also like some way of creating mincharts or banners that could be embedded in other pages. E.g. i would like to write a query (connections per minute), and see the resulting number in a banner or small image in our TFS home page. This would be a bit like badges in sonarqube: https://docs.gitlab.com/ee/user/project/img/project_overview_badges.png

Hi, We are looking at your software to integrate into our own programs to log errors and produce a dashboard of queue lengths etc. We have a present 15 Programs we would like to monitor. We are interested in the queue length of each program (sql query will get this information) and if it goes over a certain number an email alert is sent to a central email address, we also want to have the 15 programs listed on one dashboard with the queue length in real or near real time, detailing the program name queue length and last time checked and if possible a visual traffic light Green ok Amber getting close Red over queue threshold this dashboard would be shown on a 65 inch screen. is this possible with your software ? (more a dashboard question)

We are running Seq in a hosted environment where SSL is terminated at the network gateway and all traffic that are coming in to Seq is on http. The problem we are experiencing is that when you log with Azure AD it goes to http instead of https. How can we fix this? When we installed seq it was installed in http mode since ssl is terminated on the gateway.
