clef.exe import exported loggins - traceid missing and no trace timings

[TomDC-DX]

Hello,

I'm looking at the SEQ import functionality by using CLEF files.

I exported one day of logging in two ways:

• using the website export functionality
• using serilog clef file logging

Both ways are configured like documented on the SEQ website.

However, upon import using the latest clef.exe, I notice that a lot of information is missing after import.
I can no longer filter on traceid and all the additional timing information is also missing.

I see these new columns after import, which were not there before:

Did I do anything wrong?
Any help is usefull, since we are looking to implement this on production servers and the CLEF file should be the "backup log".

UPDATE!

I did some searching and debugging and I noticed the following.

When importing from a clef file, it seems that something goes wrong with the @sp and @tr tags?

Thanks!

Hi @TomDC-DX,

clef.exe is in maintenance mode and hasn't been updated to support these newer properties. Instead, try seqcli ingest --json -i <FILENAME> using a recent version of seqcli.

On Windows, seqcli should already be on your path if you have Seq installed on Windows; it's also available as a dotnet tool, binaries, or as a Docker container. Check out https://github.com/datalust/seqcli for all the info.

Hope this helps,
Nick

Many thanks!

The seqcli command can restore everything, including the tracings, using the CLEF files.
