Does Serilog JsonFormatter support Formatting.Indented?

I have code like this

        var log = new LoggerConfiguration()
            .MinimumLevel.Debug()
            .Enrich.WithExceptionDetails()
            .WriteTo.RollingFile(new JsonFormatter(renderMessage: true),"log-{Date}.txt")                
            .CreateLogger();

Is it possible to format the Json result as Indented ?

No; the JSON formatter's goal is to produce newline-delimited JSON streams for consumption by other programs - human readability isn't a primary consideration.

You can, however, pipe these through something like jq to pretty-print it:

cat log-20170420.txt | jq '.'

(chocolatey install jq or sudo apt-get install jq depending on your OS.)
