Serilog writes the logs twice

I'm using Serilog with Elasticsearch sink with the configurations like this:

Log.Logger = new LoggerConfiguration()
                    .MinimumLevel.Verbose()
                    .MinimumLevel.Override("Microsoft", LogEventLevel.Verbose)
                    .Enrich.FromLogContext()
                    .Enrich.WithExceptionDetails()
                    .Enrich.WithProperty("Application", "abc")
                    .Enrich.WithProperty("Environment", env.EnvironmentName)
                    .WriteTo.Elasticsearch(new ElasticsearchSinkOptions(new Uri(Configuration["LoggingEndpoint"]))
                    {
                        AutoRegisterTemplate = true,
                        CustomFormatter = new ExceptionAsObjectJsonFormatter(renderMessage: true) // Better formatting for exceptions
                    })

// and later:

services.AddLogging(loggingBuilder =>
            loggingBuilder.AddSerilog());

But I can see every log twice, with a couple of milliseconds difference in their timestamp, on the Kibana. I tried the solutions provided here, just in case they might help, but no luck.

This is probably the case because you are configuring Serilog inside your appsettings.json and also inside code. This wil Log everything twice.
