Herald.Sinks.File

Writes Herald log events to disk. Plain-text mode produces human-readable lines; structured mode produces NDJSON for machine parsing. Optional file rolling for time-based or size-based rotation, with per-pipeline path templating.

Part of Herald — high-performance structured logging for .NET 8, 9, and 10.

Install

dotnet add package Herald.Sinks.File

The sink auto-registers into LogSinkProviderRegistry.Default via a [ModuleInitializer] on assembly load. No manual RegisterAll(...) or With*SinkProviders() call is required — dotnet add package is the whole workflow.

Sink kind: file (the identifier the Dashboard form and JSON config use to reference this sink).

Capabilities

  • Plain-text or NDJSON output via the format toggle
  • Time-based rolling (hour / day / week)
  • Size-based rolling (maxBytes per file)
  • Retention by file count or total size cap
  • Path templating with {pipeline}, {date}, {hour} tokens

Limitations

  • Local filesystem only (use a remote sink for cloud storage)
  • One file per sink instance — fan-out via multiple sink registrations

Tier & runtime

  • Edition: Community — works on the free Apache 2.0 Herald.Core. No license key required.
  • AOT-compatible: yes
  • Targets: .NET 8 / 9 / 10
  • Thread safety: Thread-safe via internal lock around write+flush.

Vendor

MMP

Configuration

Per-sink config form lives in configuration*.mmpform at the package root and inside the assembly as an embedded resource. The Herald Dashboard renders it at runtime; JSON config follows the same shape. See CAPABILITY.yaml shipped at the package root for the full manifest (schema reference: CAPABILITY-SCHEMA.md).
