Note:
This is the previous style of log generation, where certain limitations such as a maximum of 6 parameters, single exception parameters, and no support for expanding either properties or enumerations exist.
To use the newer Logging Generation v2, reference (directly or indirectly) the Microsoft.Extensions.Telemetry.Abstractions package.
Also note that ExpandEnumerableAttribute
has no affect if used in this type of generation.
The types are hosted within the Purview.Telemetry.Logging
namespace.
To signal an interface for logging target generation, decorate the interface with the LoggerAttribute
. The signal for a method is the LogAttribute
, where you can control various aspects of it's generation.
We also support the generation of scoped loggers.
All log generation is achieved using the LoggerMessage class, as part of the high-performance logging libraries.
Warning
The maximum number of parameters allowed by the LoggerMessage
class is 6, plus one optional Exception
. You must also reference the Microsoft.Extensions.Logging
package on NuGet.
To generate a log entry, the method should be decorated with the LogAttribute
and return either void
, in the case of a non-scoped log entry. Or IDisposable
/ IDisposable?
for scoped log entries.
The parameters, if any, are used by the LogAttribute.MessageTemplate
and form part of the structured log generation.
There are several options such as the level, name, event Id and message template that can be adjusted via the LogAttribute
.
If you prefer, you can use semantic type attributes to specify the level instead of the LogAttribute.Level
property.
TraceAttribute
DebugAttribute
InfoAttribute
WarningAttribute
ErrorAttribute
CriticalAttribute
These support all the same properties as LogAttribute
, except for the Level
property.
When not using multi-targeting you can avoid adding the LogAttribute
explicitly.
You can set the default log level using either the LoggerAttribute.DefaultLevel
on the interface, or the LoggerGenerationAttribute.DefaultLevel
on the assembly.
If no level is specified on the method, and an Exception
is defined the level is changed to an Error
automatically. This also raises the TSG2002
diagnostic, that can safely be ignored if you are comfortable with this inferred behaviour.
Used to define the log entry details on a method.
Name Type Description Level Microsoft.Extensions.Logging.LogLevel Determines the level used when defining the log entry. Also available on construction. Defaults toInformation
, unless an Exception
is detected in the parameters, and then Error
is used. MessageTemplate string?
Defines the template used to populate the log entry method. If one is not specified, it will automatically be generated based on the prefixes and the available parameters. Also available on construction. Defaults to null
. EventId int?
Used when generating the EventId. Also available on construction. Defaults to null
. One will be generated if one is not supplied. Name string?
The name of the log entry, if one is not defined then the name of the method is used. Also available on construction. Defaults to null
.
Used to enrol an interface in the source generation process.
Name Type Description DefaultLevel Microsoft.Extensions.Logging.LogLevel Determines the default level to use when one is not provided. Also available on construction. Defaults toInformation
. CustomPrefix string?
Used when generating the log entry name's prefix. If this is set, the PrefixType
is automatically set to Custom
. Also available on construction. Defaults to null
. PrefixType Purview.Telemetry.Logging.LogPrefixType
Determines the type of prefix to use when generating the log entry name. Defaults to Default
. DisableMSLoggingTelemetryGeneration bool
Determines if the Generation v2 style of log generation is enabled or disabled. This defaults to true
. LoggerGenerationAttribute
Used to control defaults at the assembly level.
Name Type Description DefaultLevel Microsoft.Extensions.Logging.LogLevel Determines the default level to use when one is not provided. Also available on construction. Defaults toInformation
. DisableMSLoggingTelemetryGeneration bool
Determines if the Generation v2 style of log generation is enabled or disabled across the assembly. This defaults to true
.
When generating a log entry name, provides options to customise the prefix.
Value DescriptionDefault
Does not generate any suffix. Interface
Uses the name of the interface. Class
The name of the class used for generation. This can be specified using the TelemetryGenerationAttribute.ClassName
property, or through auto generation. Custom
Used when the LoggerAttribute.CustomPrefix
is set. TrimmedClassName
The name of the interface without the "I" prefix or "Log", "Logger" or "Telemetry" suffixes.
