Logging Abstractor

Provides an interface which standardizes server side logging across third party logging platforms using .NET standard. This makes it easy to swap out logging providers, log to multiple platforms at once and standardize your projects logging interface.

Currently supports the following platforms: Raygun, Application Insights and Sentry

Getting started in a .NET core api

1. In the WebApi project, add the LoggingAbstractor.Core and platform specific LoggingAbstractor nuget packages (.e. LoggingAbstractor.Raygun if using raygun).
2. In the startup.cs register the IAbstractLogger for the platform(s) you use:

ApplicationInsights

  services.AddApplicationInsightsTelemetry(Configuration);
        services.AddTransient<IAbstractLogger>(x => new AppInsightsAbstractLogger(x.GetService<TelemetryClient>()));

Raygun

 public void ConfigureServices(IServiceCollection services) {
        ...
            services.AddRaygun(Configuration);
            services.AddTransient<IAbstractLogger>(x => new RaygunAbstractLogger(new RaygunClient(raygunApiKey), minimalLoggingLevel));
    }

Multiple loggers

If you want to log to multiple platforms at once you can register the MultiAbstractLogger and pass in the loggers you want to use. This example shows how to register the application insights and sentry loggers. Startup.cs

  public void ConfigureServices(IServiceCollection services) {
    ...
    var raygunApiKey = Configuration.GetSection("RaygunSettings")["ApiKey"];
    services.AddTransient<IAppInsightsAbstractLogger>(x => new AppInsightsAbstractLogger(x.GetService<TelemetryClient>(), minimalLoggingLevel));
    services.AddTransient<IRaygunAbstractLogger>(x => new RaygunAbstractLogger(new RaygunClient(raygunApiKey), minimalLoggingLevel));
    services.AddTransient<IAbstractLogger>(x =>
    {
        IEnumerable<IAbstractLogger> abstractLoggers = new List<IAbstractLogger>
            { x.GetService<IAppInsightsAbstractLogger>(), x.GetService<IRaygunAbstractLogger>() };
        return new MultiAbstractLogger(abstractLoggers);
    });   
}

Logging level

Certain logging platforms store a logging level tag against each log, this allows for logs to be prioritized. Logging abstractor provides a generic enum which will map to the equivalent logging level of a specific platform. Below is how they map

LoggingAbstractor	ApplicationInsights	Raygun*	Sentry
Verbose	Verbose	Verbose	Debug
Information	Information	Information	Info
Warning	Warning	Warning	Warning
Error	Error	Error	Error
Critical	Critical	Critical	Critical
None	None	None	None

*Does not support logging levels. Logging level is added as a tag
