NET 5.0 - serilog-sinks-file not creating logs - serilog

Question

Since I updated my code to .NET 5.0 and used a newer version of serilog, I cannot get any rolling file anymore
I tried debugging serilog , it creates a debug file but nothing is in there
private static void CreateLogger()
{
// Init Serilog configuration
var configuration = new ConfigurationBuilder()
.AddJsonFile("appsettings.logs.json")
.Build();
Log.Logger = new Serilog.LoggerConfiguration().ReadFrom.Configuration(configuration)
.Enrich.WithProperty("Application", GetAssemblyProductName())
.CreateLogger();
var file = File.CreateText(AppDomain.CurrentDomain.BaseDirectory + #"serilog.txt");
Serilog.Debugging.SelfLog.Enable(TextWriter.Synchronized(file));
Serilog.Debugging.SelfLog.Enable(msg => Debug.WriteLine(msg));
Serilog.Debugging.SelfLog.Enable(Console.Error);
}
here is my appsetings.log.json
{
"Serilog": {
"Using": [
"Serilog.Sinks.ApplicationInsights"
],
"MinimumLevel": {
"Default": "Information",
"Override": {
"Microsoft": "Warning",
"System": "Warning",
"System.Net.Http.HttpClient": "Warning"
}
},
"WriteTo": [

"outputTemplate": "({SourceContext}) {Message}{NewLine}{Exception}",
"rollingInterval": "Day",
"fileSizeLimitBytes": 50000000,
"rollOnFileSizeLimit": true,
"retainedFileCountLimit": 15,
"buffered": true
}
},
{

"Args": {
"restrictedToMinimumLevel": "Information",
"outputTemplate": "({SourceContext}) ({Application}/{MachineName}/{ThreadId}) {Message}{NewLine}{Exception}",
"telemetryConverter": "Serilog.Sinks.ApplicationInsights.Sinks.ApplicationInsights.TelemetryConverters.TraceTelemetryConverter, Serilog.Sinks.ApplicationInsights"
}
}
]
}
}
],
"Enrich": [ "FromLogContext", "WithMachineName", "WithThreadId" ],
"Properties": {
"Application": "myapp"
}
}
}
am I missing something ?
thanks for helping me on this

Please someone correct me if this is wrong but I assumed you need to list the sinks you wanted to run in the Using section - therefore adding the File sink to your appsettings should fix this - as per below:
"Serilog": {
"Using": [
"Serilog.Sinks.ApplicationInsights","Serilog.Sinks.File"
],
