Usage

a) Absolute basic usage:

Log.Logger = new LoggerConfiguration()
            .MinimumLevel.Verbose()
            .WriteTo.Slack(
                slackWebHookUrl: "https://...",
                slackChannel: null
            )
            .CreateLogger();

b) Recommended usage:

var logLevelSwitch = new LoggingLevelSwitch(initialMinimumLevel: LogEventLevel.Verbose);
Log.Logger = new LoggerConfiguration()
                .MinimumLevel.Verbose()
                .WriteTo.Slack(
                    slackWebHookUrl: "https://...",
                    slackChannel: "log-output-channel",
                    slackUsername: "Serilog Slack Sink Bot",
                    slackEmojiIcon: ":monkey_face:",

                    periodicBatchingSinkOptionsBatchSizeLimit: 1,
                    periodicBatchingSinkOptionsPeriod: TimeSpan.FromMilliseconds(1000),
                    periodicBatchingSinkOptionsQueueLimit: 10000,

                    sinkRestrictedToMinimumLevel: LogEventLevel.Verbose,
                    sinkLevelSwitch:logLevelSwitch
                )
                .CreateLogger();
