Sandy is a logger for .NET Core that will help you to log your request information in a json format into files.
##Installation
Install-Package Sandy -Pre
Inside the Startup class of your project, in the ConfigureServices method. inject the IJsonLogger as a Singleton
public void ConfigureServices(IServiceCollection services)
{
// Add framework services.
services.AddApplicationInsightsTelemetry(Configuration);
services.AddSingleton<IJsonLogger, JsonLogger>();
services.AddMvc();
}Sandy comes with default options, however you can override these options
public void Configure(IApplicationBuilder app, IHostingEnvironment env,
ILoggerFactory loggerFactory, IJsonLogger jsonLogger)
{
ConfigureJsonLogger(jsonLogger);
}
public void ConfigureJsonLogger(IJsonLogger jsonLogger)
{
jsonLogger.SetOptions(new JsonLoggerOptions()
{
AppName = "MyAppName",
});
}You have to options in order for you to log
1- Injecting the IJsonLogger in the constructor and using the instance.
private IJsonLogger logger { get; set; }
public HomeController(IJsonLogger logger)
{
this.logger = logger;
}
public IActionResult()
{
logger.LogFatal(Request, "my message");
return View();
}2- Using the HttpRequest extension methods.
public IActionResult()
{
Request.LogInfo();
Request.LogError("something went wrong");
}- AppName (Default "DefaultApp")
- InfoFilePath (Default "C:/DefaultApp/Logs/DefaultApp-info.log").
- ErrorFilePath (Default "C:/DefaultApp/Logs/DefaultApp-error.log").
- DebugFilePath (Default "C:/DefaultApp/Logs/DefaultApp-debug.log").
- WarningFilePath (Default "C:/DefaultApp/Logs/DefaultApp-warning.log").
- FatalFilePath (Default "C:/DefaultApp/Logs/DefaultApp-fatal.log").
Because .NET Core still at its early stage, granting permissions for the files inside the code still not supported. so you might want to do it manually for now.
