ASP.NET Core Module configuration examples

Log creation and redirection

To save logs, you must create the logs directory. The ASP.NET Core Module can redirect stdoutand stderr logs to disk by setting the stdoutLogEnabled and stdoutLogFile attributes of theaspNetCore element. Logs are not rotated (unless process recycling/restart occurs). It is the responsibilty of the hoster to limit the disk space the logs consume.
