[dallasbeek]

Status

BUG REPORT

Steps

Getting an exception likely caused by Serilog upgrade.

It looks like Serilog marked PeriodicBatchingSink class as sealed

public sealed class PeriodicBatchingSink : ILogEventSink, IDisposable

Actual behaviour

Unhandled exception. System.TypeLoadException: Could not load type 'Serilog.Sinks.NewRelic.Logs.NewRelicLogsSink' from assembly 'Serilog.Sinks.NewRelic.Logs, Version=1.2.0.0, Culture=neutral, PublicKeyToken=null' because the parent type is sealed.
at Serilog.NewRelicLoggerConfigurationExtensions.NewRelicLogs(LoggerSinkConfiguration loggerSinkConfiguration, String endpointUrl, String applicationName, String licenseKey, String insertKey, LogEventLevel restrictedToMinimumLevel, Int32 batchSizeLimit, Nullable`1 period)

Environment

Running as Docker Image on Linux.
