Learn to implement structured logging and distributed tracing in .NET applications using Serilog and Seq. We'll cover Serilog configuration, best practices for adding context to logs and using Seq for log analysis and visualization.

We'll focus on Seq's new distributed tracing support, demonstrating how to correlate logs and traces across services, visualize request flows, and identify bottlenecks in distributed systems. This video will help you build a robust logging and tracing strategy for easier debugging and monitoring.

Milan demonstrates using Serilog and Seq for structured logging and distributed tracing in a .NET environment. He uses three API applications: Stocks API, Risk Management API, and Reporting API. The process involves creating orders, logging the interactions, installing necessary packages, configuring Serilog, and setting up OpenTelemetry for distributed tracing. Finally, he shows how to visualize and analyze the logs and traces in Seq.
