ASP.NET Core 2.2 Entity Framework Logging

Question

In the past I have seen clear printouts of the SQL statements from Entity Framework sent to the logger, historically by setting DbContext.Database.Log . Things seem to have changed and I can't get them to work.

This page by MS implies that configuring logging for ASP.NET Core automatically configures entity logging. Following this I have configured the logging using the appsettings.json file as below:

{
   "Logging": {
    "LogLevel": {
      "Default": "Information",
      "System": "Information",
      "Microsoft": "Information",
      "Microsoft.EntityFrameworkCore": "Debug",
    }
  }
}

This does result in lots of logs from the Entity Framework Core showing up, however none of them are the queries. I would expect to see entries from Microsoft.EntityFrameworkCore.Database.Command but I do not. How do I get the SQL statements in the logs?

I know this looks similar to a few other questions, but none of them helped me out.

Answer 1

this is the one I stole out of Adam Freeman's Pro Entity Framework Core 2 book and I see the sql statements

{
"Logging":{
     "LogLevel": {
          "Default": "None",
          "Microsoft.EntityFrameworkCore": "Information"
          }
        }
}
