How do you configure Destructurama.Attributes .Destructure.UsingAttribues() in JSON from appsettings? - serilog

Question

We use appsettings to configure Serilog via JSON, a fairly standard enterprise practice.
But I'm having trouble enabling the UsingAttributes. How does one enable .Destructure.UsingAttributes via JSON config?
I started with a pure Serliog approach, but they indicate that Serilog.Extras.Attributed is deprecated in favor of using Destructurama.Attributed. And in looking at the Destructurama.Attributed github example, I don't understand how to convert that into a JSON configuration. Their example:
var log = new LoggerConfiguration().Destructure.UsingAttributes()
The Serilog documentation for the "Destructure" option is straightforward:
"Destructure": [
{
"Name": "With",
"Args": { "policy": "Sample.CustomPolicy, Sample" }
},
],
However, I don't know what I would use for the "Sample.CustomPolicy, Sample" to get Destructurama to be enabled.
"Destructure": [
{
"Name": "With",
"Args": { "UsingAttributes": WHAT_GOES_HERE}
},
],
I feel like I'm missing something obvious.

Answer 1

I just encountered the same problem and after a few experiments I figured how to have it working using Destructurama.Attributed version 2.0.0 :
You must specify the following using in JSON configuration to make Serilog able to see the library :
"Serilog":
{
"Using":
[
"Destructurama.Attributed"
],
....
}
Inside Serilog configuration, you have to specify this to Destructure to enable the attributes :
"Destructure":
[
{
"Name": "UsingAttributes"
},
....
]
