MongoDB.Bson.BsonValue.System.IConvertible.ToType throwing exception when using Serilog

Hello!

My C# code is throwing a MongoDB.Driver.MongoAuthenticationException exception which in-turn is calling Serilog to format the exception using Newtonsoft Json serialization. Since one of the values in the exception is of type BsonValue and is IConvertible the serializer is trying to call ToType() which is throwing the exception on this line mongo-csharp-driver/BsonValue.cs at master · mongodb/mongo-csharp-driver · GitHub

I’ve downloaded the driver source and the two types it’s trying to convert are BsonType.Binary and BsonType.Timestamp.

Stacktrace

   Exception while emitting periodic batch from Serilog.Sinks.Scalyr.ScalyrSink: System.AggregateException: One or more errors occurred. (Specified cast is not valid.)
 ---> System.InvalidCastException: Specified cast is not valid.
