What is the status of this? We are using docker containers on AWS, and get the control characters in our logs. Makes it rather difficult to read.

If it is difficult to auto detect, could we get an Environment variable or some other way to just turn off colorizing?

If you are using WebHostBuilder.CreateDefault setting ASPNETCORE_LOGGING__CONSOLE__DISABLECOLORS environment variable to true would disable colors too.
