I have two .NET 8 CORE APIS ( API-1 & API-2), and I am trying to get them to log any error to the same file to no avail. Only one API is writting to the error file
Test 1
- Restart IIS
- Genereate error from API-1 -> message is written to error log
- Generate error from API-2 -> no message is being written to error log
- Generate error from API-1 -> message is written to error log.
Test 2
- Restart IIS
- Genereate error from API-2 -> message is written to error log
- Generate error from API-1 -> no message is being written to error log
- Generate error from API-2 -> message is written to error log.
appsettings.json .

}
]

},NOTE: The above configuration is for API-1, API-2 will have two changes:
"AppName": "Tester1" --> "Tester2"
"path": "E:/Logs/SerilogAPITester1-.txt" --> "E:/Logs/SerilogAPITester2-.txt"program.cs
Log.Logger = new LoggerConfiguration()
.ReadFrom.Configuration(builder.Configuration).CreateLogger();If you can see where I went wrong, please shout! Thanks
