Serilog not logging information to SQL Server but logs errors only-CodePudding

I am working on an asp.net core 6.0 project, I have implemented logging using Serilog. I have configured it to insert records in SQL Server table, but it logs only errors and fatal errors. I need to log information as well, please suggest if I need to change my code to log all types of logs supported by Serilog.

C# Code: -

public static void Main(string[] args)
    {
        try
        {                
            ConfigureLogging();
            var host = CreateHostBuilder(args).Build();
            Log.Information("App starting");
            host.Run();
        }
        catch (Exception exception)
        {
            Log.Fatal(exception, "Error starting - Main method");
        }
    }
   
   private static void ConfigureLogging()private static void ConfigureLogging()
    {
        try
        {               
            var configuration = new ConfigurationBuilder()
               .AddJsonFile("appsettings.json")
               .Build();

            Log.Logger = new LoggerConfiguration()
                .ReadFrom.Configuration(configuration)
                .Enrich.FromLogContext()
                //.MinimumLevel.Warning()
                //.Filter.ByExcluding((le) => le.Level == LogEventLevel.Information)
                .CreateLogger();
        }
        catch (Exception exception)
        {
            Log.Fatal(exception, "Error starting - ConfigureLogging method");
        }
        finally
        {
            //Log.CloseAndFlush(); //no need to close bcz we are using it as a singleton instance.
        }
    }
    
  public void ConfigureServices(IServiceCollection services)
   {
      services.AddSingleton<Serilog.ILogger>(Log.Logger);
   }
  public void Configure(IApplicationBuilder app, IWebHostEnvironment env, IHangfireJobs hangfireJobs, IHttpContextAccessor httpContextAccessor, DBContext dbContext, Serilog.ILogger logger, IServiceProvider serviceProvider, IAntiforgery antiforgery)
   {
   }

In AppSettings.json, please change

"MinimumLevel": {
      "Default": "Warning",

"MinimumLevel": {
      "Default": "Information",

Then it will start logging Information and below (Information, Warning,Error, Critical)
