I am currently have an application running where I want the logs to be sinked into a file, such that Datadog is able to fetch them.

I currently just uses the sourcegenerator to log, but how do i get these log down to a file?

I tried altered the web.config to and deploy it to iis, but nothing seem to logged to a file, i then manually created the log folder, and still nothing seemed to be put inside.

<?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8"?>
<configuration>

  <!-- To customize the asp.net core module uncomment and edit the following section. 
  For more info see https://go.microsoft.com/fwlink/?linkid=838655 -->
    
  <system.webServer>
    <handlers>
      <remove name="aspNetCore"/>
      <add name="aspNetCore" path="*" verb="*" modules="AspNetCoreModuleV2" resourceType="Unspecified"/>
    </handlers>
    <aspNetCore processPath="%LAUNCHER_PATH%" arguments="%LAUNCHER_ARGS%" stdoutLogEnabled="true" stdoutLogFile=".\logs\stdout" />
  </system.webServer>


</configuration>

so how do i get my logs down to a file?

How i currently log

public partial class RequestResponseLoggerMiddleware
{
    private readonly RequestDelegate _next;
    private readonly ILogger _logger;

    public RequestResponseLoggerMiddleware(RequestDelegate next,
                                    ILoggerFactory loggerFactory)
    {
        _next = next;
        _logger = loggerFactory
                  .CreateLogger<RequestResponseLoggerMiddleware>();
    }

    [LoggerMessage(0, LogLevel.Information, "{requestUrl} proxied to {proxiedUrl}")]
    partial void LogRequest(string requestUrl, string proxiedUrl);

    public async Task Invoke(HttpContext context)
    {
        //code dealing with the request
        string requestUrl = context.Request.GetDisplayUrl();
        string path = context.Request.Path;          
        
        await _next(context);

        var proxyFeature = context.GetReverseProxyFeature();
        Yarp.ReverseProxy.Model.DestinationState? destination = proxyFeature.ProxiedDestination;
        if (destination != null)
        {
            string proxiedUrl = destination.Model.Config.Address   path;

            //code dealing with the response
            LogRequest(requestUrl, proxiedUrl);
        }
        else
        {
            LogRequest(requestUrl, string.Empty);
        }
    }

}

var app = builder.Build();

});
app.UseHttpsRedirection();
app.Run();

Issue http://github.com/aspnet/Logging/issues/441 is closed and MS officially recommends to use 3rd party file loggers. Please see answers from: How to log to a file without using third party logger in .Net Core?

You can use .NET Trace Listeners for this.
