How to set formatProvider property in Serilog from app.config file

I know that it's possible to setup Serilog sinks in app.config file (AppSettings section) and it's pretty simple with scalar types, but how to be with complex ones (IFormatProvider etc.). Does anybody know how to deal with that and is it possible at all?

I'm trying to simulate this example 

ILogger logger = new LoggerConfiguration()
    .Enrich.WithExceptionDetails()
    .WriteTo.Sink(new RollingFileSink(
        @"C:\logs",
        new JsonFormatter(renderMessage: true))
    .CreateLogger();

but using app.config only.

You can use something like JsonRollingFile for this.

<configuration>
  <appSettings>
    <add key="serilog:using:Json" value="Serilog.Sinks.Json" />
    <add key="serilog:write-to:JsonRollingFile.pathFormat" value="C:\Logs\myapp-{Date}.jsnl" />
  </appSettings>
</configuration>
