Pipeline not substituting array object

Question

I am trying to change my logging url and api key for different environments. For this, I am using the Variables, in my Azure release pipeline. At the moment, I have the database connection string working well.

However, I am struggling to get the logging variables to work. Now,there is an array, and I bvelieve you reference an array as field.child.1.field (So, that would assign the 2nd array objets's field.

I have this:

 "Serilog": {
    "MinimumLevel": {
      "Default": "Debug",
      "Override": {
        "Microsoft": "Warning",
        "System": "Warning"
      }
    },
    "Enrich": [ "FromLogContext", "WithMachineName", "WithProcessId", "WithThreadId" ],

    "WriteTo": [
      {
        "Name": "Console",
        "Args": {
          "outputTemplate": "[{Timestamp:HH:mm:ss.fff} {Level:u3}] {Message:lj}{NewLine}{Exception}"
        }
      },
      {
        "Name": "Seq",
        "Args": {
          "serverUrl": "myUrl",
          "apiKey": "myApiKey"
        }
      }
    ]
  }

I am trying to substitute the serverUrl and apiKey.

In my pipeline lok, all I see is:

It does the ConnectionString one well, but doesn't do the others. What am I missing?

You understand it correctly. Your fault is the uppercase letter "L" in SeriLog.WriteTo.1.Args.apiKey. It should be "Serilog.WriteTo.1.Args.apiKey". The mistake is in both variables apiKey and serverUrl.

@Craig oh, thank you :) Case sensitivity is a big "deal" in JSON. I spent many days troubleshooting because of it.
