+
+The Serilog maintainers want you to have a great experience using Serilog, and will happily track down and resolve bugs. We all have limited time, though, so please think through all of the factors that might be involved and include as much useful information as possible 😊.

+**Reproduction**

+
+**Expected behavior**
+A concise description of what you expected to happen.
+
+**Relevant package, tooling and runtime versions**
+What Serilog version are you using, on what platform?
