Can the dotnet core docs be improved?

Could you please specify how to use appsettings.json to configure the parameters of the SumoLogic appender? Perhaps it's impossible for the URI to be auto-configured through the json file?

I know it's been a few months since you asked this question but hopefully this is helpful for others. Currently this is what I use to leverage core's configuration system.

On startup:

WebHost.CreateDefaultBuilder(args)
                .UseStartup<Startup>()
                .ConfigureLogging((context, logging) =>
                {
                    var sumoLogicOptions = context.Configuration.GetSection("Logging:SumoLogic").Get<LoggerOptions>();
                    logging.AddSumoLogic(sumoLogicOptions);
                });

Then in your appsettings.json you can put something like:

{
    "Logging": {
        "SumoLogic": {
            "Uri": "https://collectorurlhere"
        }
    }
}

You can see the available options in the Logger Options file.
