Serilog.Sinks.MFilesObject is a Serilog structured logging sink that uses the M-Files COM API to emit event messages to a "rolling" Log object or Log file in an M-Files vault.

Use Serilog structured logging in your M-Files console, integration and vault application solutions with M-Files COM API and see the structured logging appear as a Log object or Log file in the vault.
This release features two sinks:
MFilesLogObjectMessageSink: Log to a M-Files Log object with a multi-line text property.MFilesLogFileSink: Log to an M-Files Log File.
Both sinks work with batching, where new log messages are appended every 10 seconds, to prevent overly stress on the vault.
The log object is 'rolling': the sinks creates a new Log object in the vault for the current day, eg "Log 2022-01-27". When the multi-line text property reaches its limit of 10000 characters, the sink creates a new Log object for today with an ordinal between braces, eg "Log 2022-01-27 (2)".
The log file is 'rolling' as well, where the sink creates a Log text file document for the current day, eg "Log 2022-01-27.txt".
These sinks require a M-Files COM API installation, which is installed with the M-Files Desktop app.
