dotnet add package Serilog.AspNetCore

Select Providers:

Program.cs

builder.Host.UseSerilog((ctx, lc) => lc
    .MinimumLevel.Override("Microsoft", LogEventLevel.Warning)
    .Enrich.FromLogContext()
    .WriteTo.Console()
    .WriteTo.File("logs/log-.txt", rollingInterval: RollingInterval.Day)
    .WriteTo.MongoDBBson("mongodb://localhost/interfaces","logs"));

Finally, clean up by removing the remaining configuration for the default logger, including the "Logging" section from appsettings.*.json files
