Is it possible to ignore mssqlserver sink if a problem with database connection

[adurmus]

the serilog is configured with appsettings. with configuration.ReadFrom.Configuration(context.Configuration). And if databse cannot be connected for any reason.

What's the best way to ignore Mssqlserver sink if the database cannot be connected instead of throwing an exception?

The sink only does something on the DB during initialization if you set the sink options AutoCreateSqlDatabase or AutoCreateSqlTable. Those options are intended for debugging/testing purposes where an exception should not be a problem.

In production you should not set those options and create your DB using a different method.
