.NET 8–Http Logging

In .NET 7 and before the default request logging in ASP.NET Core is quite noisy, with multiple events emitted per request. That is one of the reasons why I use the Serilog.AspNetCore package.

By adding the following line to my ASP.NET Core application I can reduce the number of events to 1 per request.

The result looks like this in Seq:

 

Starting from .NET 8 the HTTP logging middleware has several new capabilities and we no longer need Serilog to achieve the same result.

By configuring the following 2 options, we could achieve this:

  • HttpLoggingFields.Duration: When enabled, this emits a new log at the end of the request/response measuring the total time in milliseconds taken for processing. This has been added to the HttpLoggingFields.All set.
  • HttpLoggingOptions.CombineLogs: When enabled, the middleware will consolidate all of its enabled logs for a request/response into one log at the end. This includes the request, request body, response, response body, and duration.

Here is a code snippet:

Nice!

Kubernetes–Limit your environmental impact

Reducing the carbon footprint and CO2 emission of our (cloud) workloads, is a responsibility of all of us. If you are running a Kubernetes cluster, have a look at Kube-Green . kube-green is a simple Kubernetes operator that automatically shuts down (some of) your pods when you don't need them. A single pod produces about 11 Kg CO2eq per year( here the calculation). Reason enough to give it a try! Installing kube-green in your cluster The easiest way to install the operator in your cluster is through kubectl. We first need to install a cert-manager: kubectl apply -f https://github.com/cert-manager/cert-manager/releases/download/v1.14.5/cert-manager.yaml Remark: Wait a minute before you continue as it can take some time before the cert-manager is up & running inside your cluster. Now we can install the kube-green operator: kubectl apply -f https://github.com/kube-green/kube-green/releases/latest/download/kube-green.yaml Now in the namespace where we want t...
