What is SimpLog

Simple and very flexible tool for development with .NET Core. Saves logs to a file, or a database where you want. Also gives opportunity to receive logs via email with the proper configuration.

Log Types in SimpLog

Type Description
Trace This should be used during development to track bugs, but never committed to your VCS.
Debug Log at this level about anything that happens in the program. This is mostly used during debugging, and I’d advocate trimming down the number of debug statement before entering the production stage, so that only the most meaningful entries are left, and can be activated during troubleshooting.
Info Log at this level all actions that are user-driven, or system specific (ie regularly scheduled operations…)
Notice This will certainly be the level at which the program will run when in production. Log at this level all the notable events that are not considered an error.
Warn Log at this level all events that could potentially become an error. For instance if one database call took more than a predefined time, or if an in-memory cache is near capacity. This will allow proper automated alerting, and during troubleshooting will allow to better understand how the system was behaving before the failure.
Error Log every error condition at this level. That can be API calls that return errors or internal error conditions.
Fatal Too bad, it’s doomsday. Use this very scarcely, this shouldn’t happen a lot in a real program. Usually logging at this level signifies the end of the program. For instance, if a network daemon can’t bind a network socket, log at this level and exit is the only sensible thing to do.

Features of SimpLog.Databases.PostgreSQL

Features Description
📚 Log into database With SimpLog you can save logs into a database. It is possible to save it in PostgreSql. Have in mind, that if the tables are not created, they will be created automatically in the database from the connection string in SimpLog:Database_Configuration:Connection_String

📚 Database structure for logging into a database

You need two tables, no matter the database. The databases are as follows:

Database Description
EmailLog Saves what emails has been sent if there has been sent at all
StoreLog Saves what is the error and has connection with EmailLog if the row has been sent via email.

Scripts for creating tables:

🐘 PostgreSql
create table if not exists StoreLog(     
    "ID" serial,
    "Log_Type" varchar(50),
    "Log_Error" varchar(50),
    "Log_Created" varchar(50),
    "Log_FileName" varchar(50),
    "Log_Path" varchar(50),
    "Log_SendEmail" boolean,
    "Email_ID" int,
    "Saved_In_Database" varchar(50)     
);  
create table if not exists EmailLog(     
    "ID" serial,
    "From_Email" varchar(50),
    "To_Email" varchar(50),
    "Bcc" varchar(50),
    "Email_Subject" varchar(50),
    "Email_Body" varchar(50),
    "Time_Sent" varchar(50)     
); 

Configuration

In Program.cs In Program.cs only if you use buffer type for saving into a log file. In other cases it is not needed at all.

Nothing needed

In Controller

private SimpLog.Databases.PostgreSQL.Services.SimpLogServices.SimpLog _simpLog = new SimpLog.Databases.PostgreSQL.Services.SimpLogServices.SimpLog();

and call the log like

_simpLog.Trace("place your message here");

options are as follows

_simpLog.Info({1}, {2}); 

and only {1} is required

Option Short Description Full Description
{1} Message The message you want to log.
{2} Save into database Disable or enable saving into database.

In simplog.json Create simplog.json file in the root folder of your startup project. On the same level where is appsettings.json. Please have in mind that every configuration in simplog.json is optional ☺️

  {                              -> all of the below fields are optional
    "Database_Configuration": {             -> Database configurations
      "Connection_String": string,          -> Depending on database type, use the correct connection string.
      "Global_Database_Type": string,       -> The type of a database. Please spell it correctly "PostgreSQL". N.B! Be carefull with spelling!
      "Global_Enabled_Save": bool           -> You can globally disable or enable saving into database. Default value is
    },
    "LogType": {
      "Trace": {                            -> TYPE OF LOG == Trace.
        "SaveInDatabase": true              -> For the TYPE OF LOG, should be enabled saving into database. Default value is true.
      },
      "Debug": {                            -> Analogically TYPE OF LOG here is Debug 
        "SaveInDatabase": true
      },
      "Info": {                             -> Analogically TYPE OF LOG here is Info
        "SaveInDatabase": true
      },
      "Notice": {                           -> Analogically TYPE OF LOG here is Notice
        "SaveInDatabase": true
      },
      "Warn": {                             -> Analogically TYPE OF LOG here is Warn
        "SaveInDatabase": true
      },
      "Error": {                            -> Analogically TYPE OF LOG here is Error
        "SaveInDatabase": true
      },
      "Fatal": {                            -> Analogically TYPE OF LOG here is Fatal
        "SaveInDatabase": true
      }
    }
  }
