.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!

Podman– Command execution failed with exit code 125

After updating WSL on one of the developer machines, Podman failed to work. When we took a look through Podman Desktop, we noticed that Podman had stopped running and returned the following error message: Error: Command execution failed with exit code 125 Here are the steps we tried to fix the issue: We started by running podman info to get some extra details on what could be wrong: >podman info OS: windows/amd64 provider: wsl version: 5.3.1 Cannot connect to Podman. Please verify your connection to the Linux system using `podman system connection list`, or try `podman machine init` and `podman machine start` to manage a new Linux VM Error: unable to connect to Podman socket: failed to connect: dial tcp 127.0.0.1:2655: connectex: No connection could be made because the target machine actively refused it. That makes sense as the podman VM was not running. Let’s check the VM: >podman machine list NAME         ...

Cleaner switch expressions with pattern matching in C#

Ever find yourself mapping multiple string values to the same result? Being a C# developer for a long time, I sometimes forget that the C# has evolved so I still dare to chain case labels or reach for a dictionary. Of course with pattern matching this is no longer necessary. With pattern matching, you can express things inline, declaratively, and with zero repetition. A small example I was working on a small script that should invoke different actions depending on the environment. As our developers were using different variations for the same environment e.g.  "tst" alongside "test" , "prd" alongside "prod" .  We asked to streamline this a long time ago, but as these things happen, we still see variations in the wild. This brought me to the following code that is a perfect example for pattern matching: The or keyword here is a logical pattern combinator , not a boolean operator. It matches if either of the specified pattern...
