[Question] How to compile MessageTemplate + Properties obtained from the HTTP sink?

See original GitHub issue

I’m trying to develop a logging server for my company using your HTTP sink, plugged into ASP.NET Core MVC.

The sink sends the following POST:

{
  "events": [
    {
      "Timestamp": "2017-03-07T02:07:34.8287216+07:00",
      "Level": "Information",
      "MessageTemplate": "Executing ViewResult, running view at path {Path}.",
      "Properties": {
        "Path": "/Views/Home/Index.cshtml",
        "EventId": { "Id": 1 },
        "SourceContext": "Microsoft.AspNetCore.Mvc.ViewFeatures.Internal.ViewResultExecutor",
        "ActionId": "606648ce-b9fc-4811-8e5d-9d15b5e037c8",
        "ActionName": "Sample.Controllers.HomeController.Index (Sample)",
        "RequestId": "0HL34OG547AUO",
        "RequestPath": "/"
      }
    },
    {
      "Timestamp": "2017-03-07T02:07:34.8718259+07:00",
      "Level": "Information",
      "MessageTemplate": "User profile is available. Using '{FullName}' as key repository and Windows DPAPI to encrypt keys at rest.",
      "Properties": {
        "FullName": "C:\\Users\\Ryan\\AppData\\Local\\ASP.NET\\DataProtection-Keys",
        "SourceContext": "Microsoft.Extensions.DependencyInjection.DataProtectionServices",
        "ActionId": "606648ce-b9fc-4811-8e5d-9d15b5e037c8",
        "ActionName": "Sample.Controllers.HomeController.Index (Sample)",
        "RequestId": "0HL34OG547AUO",
        "RequestPath": "/"
      }
    },
    {
      "Timestamp": "2017-03-07T02:07:35.0372262+07:00",
      "Level": "Information",
      "MessageTemplate": "Executed action {ActionName} in {ElapsedMilliseconds}ms",
      "Properties": {
        "ActionName": "Sample.Controllers.HomeController.Index (Sample)",
        "ElapsedMilliseconds": 3271.4887000000003,
        "EventId": { "Id": 2 },
        "SourceContext": "Microsoft.AspNetCore.Mvc.Internal.ControllerActionInvoker",
        "ActionId": "606648ce-b9fc-4811-8e5d-9d15b5e037c8",
        "RequestId": "0HL34OG547AUO",
        "RequestPath": "/"
      }
    },
    {
      "Timestamp": "2017-03-07T02:07:35.0467514+07:00",
      "Level": "Information",
      "MessageTemplate": "{HostingRequestFinished:l}",
      "Properties": {
        "ElapsedMilliseconds": 3598.5328,
        "StatusCode": 200,
        "ContentType": "text/html; charset=utf-8",
        "HostingRequestFinished": "Request finished in 3598.5328ms 200 text/html; charset=utf-8",
        "EventId": { "Id": 2 },
        "SourceContext": "Microsoft.AspNetCore.Hosting.Internal.WebHost",
        "RequestId": "0HL34OG547AUO",
        "RequestPath": "/"
      },
      "Renderings": {
        "HostingRequestFinished": [
          {
            "Format": "l",
            "Rendering": "Request finished in 3598.5328ms 200 text/html; charset=utf-8"
          }
        ]
      }
    }
  ]
}

Which is cool. However, I’m stuck with the process of converting the MessageTemplate + Properties into a compiled message.

Is there an instruction for doing so? Thank you in advance.

Yes they do, its logEvent.MessageTemplate.Render(logEvent.Properties), you can see an example of it here.
