Customizing Logging Levels per Provider in ASP.NET Core

ASP.NET Core allows you to customize logging behavior per provider, such as Console or Application Insights. This is useful when you want different verbosity or volume controls depending on the sink.

Example:

{
  "Logging": {
    "LogLevel": {
      "Default": "Warning",
      "Microsoft": "Warning",
      "System": "Warning",
      "YourAppNamespace": "Trace"
    },
    "Console": {
      "LogLevel": {
        "Default": "Information",
        "YourAppNamespace": "Debug"
      }
    },
    "ApplicationInsights": {
      "LogLevel": {
        "Default": "Error"
      }
    }
  }
}

• Console logs are more verbose for development and debugging (Information and Debug).
• Application Insights only logs errors to reduce telemetry volume and cost.

Use per-provider overrides when you want finer control over logging destinations.
