This project is a .NET Core application that utilizes the WatchDog.NET package to handle exceptions and log errors. The application consists of multiple layers and has been refactored to separate concerns.
To run the project, follow these steps:
- Install the WatchDog.NET package via NuGet:
// dotnet add package WatchDog.NET
2. In the Program.cs file, add the following code for the service configuration, automatic cleaning, and database connection setup:
// Program.cs
// Add WatchDog services for automatic cleaning and database connection setup
builder.Services.AddWatchDogServices(opt =>
{
opt.IsAutoClear = false;
opt.SetExternalDbConnString = builder.Configuration.GetConnectionString(name: "SampleDbConnection");
opt.SqlDriverOption = WatchDogSqlDriverEnum.MSSQL;
});
1. Inject the middleware in the app.UseWatchDogExceptionLogger() method:
// Program.cs
// Inject the middleware for exception logging
app.UseWatchDogExceptionLogger();
2. Set up login information for accessing the WatchDog dashboard:
// Program.cs
// Set login information for the WatchDog dashboard
app.UseWatchDog(opt =>
{
opt.WatchPageUsername = "admin";
opt.WatchPagePassword = "12345678";
});
3. In the appsettings.json file, add the connection string for your database:
// appsettings.json
"ConnectionStrings": {
"SampleDbConnection": "Server=DESKTOP-0VT0IBJ\\MSSQLSERVER1; Database=SampleLogDbApp; Trusted_Connection=True;"
}
4. Implement error handling in your application methods:
// Sample method with error logging
public IActionResult Get()
{
try
{
// Your logic here
// ...
// Log an information message
WatchLogger.Log(message: "This is just a sample log entry");
// If an error occurs, throw an exception and log the error
throw new Exception("Everything is fine; I'm testing the WatchDog package");
}
catch (Exception ex)
{
// Log the error
WatchLogger.LogException(ex);
// Handle the error
// ...
}
// Other code here
// ...
}
