EonaCat.Logger 1.3.4

EonaCat.Logger

Log application information to log files.

Be sure the following dependencies are added:

Microsoft.Extensions.Logging.Abstractions Microsoft.Extensions.DependencyInjection.Abstractions Microsoft.Extensions.DependencyInjection Microsoft.Extensions.Logging

Easy way of logging without configuring anything:

LogManager.Instance.WriteAsync("INFO", ELogType.INFO, true);
LogManager.Instance.WriteAsync("WARNING", ELogType.WARNING, true);
LogManager.Instance.WriteAsync("ERROR", ELogType.ERROR, true);
LogManager.Instance.WriteAsync("DEBUG", ELogType.DEBUG, true);
LogManager.Instance.WriteAsync("CRITICAL", ELogType.CRITICAL, true);
LogManager.Instance.WriteAsync("TRACE", ELogType.TRACE, true);
LogManager.Instance.WriteAsync("TRAFFIC", ELogType.TRAFFIC, true);
LogManager.Instance.WriteAsync("NONE", ELogType.NONE, true);

**Logging in .NET 4.8 or higher: **

public class Program
    {
        public static void Main(string[] args)
        {
            CreateHostBuilder(args).Build().Run();
        }

        public static IHostBuilder CreateHostBuilder(string[] args)
        {
            // Add services to the container.
            FileLoggerOptions options = new FileLoggerOptions();
            options.MaxRolloverFiles = 20;
            options.FileSizeLimit = 1 * 1024 * 1024 / 4;
            options.UseLocalTime = true;

            var builder = Host.CreateDefaultBuilder(args)
                .ConfigureWebHostDefaults(webBuilder =>
                {
                    webBuilder.UseStartup<Startup>();
                }).ConfigureLogging(x => x.AddEonaCatFileLogger(fileLoggerOptions: options, filenamePrefix: "web"));
            return builder;
        }
    }

Code for enabling keyword masking (default: false):

Logger.LoggerSettings.UseMask = true;

Sensitive information will be replaced with MASKED You can add additional masking keywords using the MaskedKeywords property on the LoggerSettings object

You can also override the MaskSensitiveInformation method of the batchLoggingProvider to add your own masking

Default maskings (when the masking is enabled): IP addresses MAC addresses Emails Passwords Credit card numbers Social security numbers (SSN) and BSN (Dutch Citizen Service Number) API keys/tokens Phone numbers (generic and Dutch specific) Dates of birth (DOB) or other date formats IBAN/Bank account numbers (generic and Dutch specific) JWT tokens URLs with sensitive query strings License keys Public and private keys (e.g., PEM format) Dutch KVK number (8 or 12 digits) Dutch BTW-nummer (VAT number) Dutch driving license number (10-12 characters) Dutch health insurance number (Zorgnummer) Other Dutch Bank Account numbers (9-10 digits) Dutch Passport Numbers (9 alphanumeric characters Dutch Identification Document Numbers (varying formats) Custom keywords specified in LoggerSettings

Code for enabling GrayLog in the above advanced logger class:

 // Set grayLog information
 var ipAddress = "192.168.10.50"
 var port = 9000;

Logger.AddGrayLogServer(ipAddress, port);
Logger.GrayLogState(true);

Code for enabling Splunk in the above advanced logger class:

// Set Splunk information
var splunkHecUrl = "https://192.168.10.51:8088/services/collector";
var splunkHecToken = "cf0c7e68-e14b-48c1-949f-efdf5d388254";

Logger.AddSplunkServer(splunkHecUrl, splunkHecToken, true);
Logger.SplunkState(true);

Code for enabling SysLog in the above advanced logger class:

 // Set sysLog information
 var ipAddress = "192.168.10.53";
 var port = 514;

Logger.AddSyslogServer(ipAddress, port);
Logger.SysLogState(true);

Logging Test with default LogManager:

Task.Run(() => 
{
    var loggerSettings = new LoggerSettings();
    loggerSettings.UseLocalTime = true;
    loggerSettings.FileLoggerOptions.UseLocalTime = true;
    loggerSettings.MaxLogType = ELogType.TRACE;
    loggerSettings.FileLoggerOptions.FileSizeLimit = 1024 * 1024 * 1;
    loggerSettings.FileLoggerOptions.FileNamePrefix = "AllTypes";
    loggerSettings.FileLoggerOptions.MaxRolloverFiles = 5;
	
	// Create an instance of the logManager with the specified loggerSettings
    var logger = new LogManager(loggerSettings);

    // 10.000.000 lines to go :) 
    for (int i = 0; i < 10000000; i++)
    {
        logger.WriteAsync($"test to file {i} INFO", ELogType.INFO);
        logger.WriteAsync($"test to file {i} CRITICAL", ELogType.CRITICAL);
        logger.WriteAsync($"test to file {i} DEBUG", ELogType.DEBUG);
        logger.WriteAsync($"test to file {i} ERROR", ELogType.ERROR);
        logger.WriteAsync($"test to file {i} TRACE", ELogType.TRACE);
        logger.WriteAsync($"test to file {i} TRAFFIC", ELogType.TRAFFIC);
        logger.WriteAsync($"test to file {i} WARNING", ELogType.WARNING);
        logger.WriteAsync($"test to file {i} NONE", ELogType.NONE);
        Console.WriteLine($"Logged: {i}");
        Task.Delay(1);
    }
});

How to retrieve exceptions thrown by the library (from splunk, syslog and grayLog)

LogManager logManager = new LogManager();
logManager.OnException += LogManager_OnException;

private void LogHelper_OnException(object sender, ErrorMessage e)
{
    if (e.Exception != null)
	{
       Console.WriteLine(e.Exception);
	}
	
	if (e.Message != null)
	{
	    Console.WriteLine("Error message from logger: " + e.Message)
	}
}
