  1. Using anonymous types and tuples to attach correlation IDs to scope state with Serilog and Seq in ASP.NET Core

    In my last post I gave an introduction to structured logging, and described how you can use scopes to add additional key-value pairs to log messages. Unfortunately, the syntax for key-value pairs using ILogger.BeginScope() can be a bit verbose, so I showed an extension method you can use to…

  2. Creating an extension method for attaching key-value pairs to scope state using ASP.NET Core

    This is the first in a short series of posts exploring the process I went through to make working with scopes a little nicer in ASP.NET Core (and Serilog / Seq). In this post I'll create an extension method for logging a single key-value pair as a scope. In the…

  4. Creating a rolling file logging provider for ASP.NET Core 2.0

    ASP.NET Core includes a logging abstraction that makes writing logs to multiple locations easy. All of the first-party libraries that make up ASP.NET Core and EF Core use this abstraction, and the vast majority of libraries written for ASP.NET Core will too. That means its easy to…

  5. Defining custom logging messages with LoggerMessage.Define in ASP.NET Core

    One of the nice features introduced in ASP.NET Core is the universal logging infrastructure. In this post I take a look at one of the helper methods in the ASP.NET Core logging library, and how you can use it to efficiently log messages in your libraries. Before we…

  6. Logging using DiagnosticSource in ASP.NET Core

    Logging in the ASP.NET Core framework is implemented as an extensible set of providers that allows you to easily plug in new providers without having to change your logging code itself. The docs give a great summary of how to use the ILogger and ILoggerFactory in your application and…
