Warnings & Dragons

The source code for the front end appears non-existent, in ElmahCore the front end Vue SPA files are all minified. Consider this a warning sign for the continuation of the front end without a rewrite WITH SOURCE. Source-maps may have enough content to obtain the code but this has not be investigated.

Using ElmahCore

ELMAH for Net.Standard 2.0 and .Net 6

Add NuGet package ElmahCoreEx

Simple usage

// Startup.cs
services.AddElmah() //in ConfigureServices
// ...
app.UseElmah(); //in Configure, must be set after initializing other exception handlers
    //such as UseExceptionHandler and UseDeveloperExceptionPage

Default ELMAH endpoint path ~/elmah.

Change URL path

services.AddElmah(options => options.Path = "you_path_here")

Restrict access to the ELMAH URL

services.AddElmah(options =>
{
    options.OnPermissionCheck = context => context.User.Identity.IsAuthenticated;
});

app.UseAuthentication();
app.UseAuthorization();
app.UseElmah(); //needs to be placed after `UseAuthentication` and `UseAuthorization`

or the user will be redirected to the sign in screen even if they are authenticated.

Change Error Log type

You can create your own error log, which will store errors anywhere.

public class MyErrorLog: ErrorLog {
    // Implement ErrorLog
}    

The ErrorLog adapters:

• MemoryErrorLog – store errors in memory (by default)
• XmlFileErrorLog – store errors in XML files
• SqlErrorLog - store errors in MS SQL (add reference to ElmahCoreEx.Sql)
• MysqlErrorLog - store errors in MySQL (add reference to ElmahCoreEx.MySql)
• PgsqlErrorLog - store errors in PostgreSQL (add reference to ElmahCoreEx.Postgresql)

services.AddElmah<XmlFileErrorLog>(options =>
{
    options.LogPath = "~/log"; // OR options.LogPath = "с:\errors";
});

services.AddElmah<SqlErrorLog>(options =>
{
    options.ConnectionString = "connection_string";
    options.SqlServerDatabaseSchemaName = "Errors"; //Defaults to dbo if not set
    options.SqlServerDatabaseTableName = "ElmahError"; //Defaults to ELMAH_Error if not set
});

Raise exception

public IActionResult Test()
{
    HttpContext.RaiseError(new InvalidOperationException("Test"));
    ...
}

Microsoft.Extensions.Logging support

Since version 2.0 ElmahCore support Microsoft.Extensions.Logging

Source Preview

Since version 2.0.1 ElmahCore support source preview. Just add paths to source files.

services.AddElmah(options =>
{
   options.SourcePaths = new []
   {
      @"D:\src\ElmahCore.DemoCore6",
      @"D:\src\ElmahCore.Mvc",
      @"D:\src\ElmahCore"
   };
});

Log the request body

Since version 2.0.5 ElmahCore can log the request body.

Logging SQL request body

Since version 2.0.6 ElmahCore can log the SQL request body.

Logging method parameters

Since version 2.0.6 ElmahCore can log method parameters.

using ElmahCore;
...

public void TestMethod(string p1, int p2)
{
    // Logging method parameters
    this.LogParams((nameof(p1), p1), (nameof(p2), p2));
    ...
}

Using UseElmahExceptionPage

You can replace UseDeveloperExceptionPage to UseElmahExceptionPage

if (env.IsDevelopment())
{
   // app.UseDeveloperExceptionPage();
   app.UseElmahExceptionPage();
}

Using Notifiers

You can create your own notifiers by implement IErrorNotifier or IErrorNotifierWithId interface and add notifier to Elmah options:

services.AddElmah<XmlFileErrorLog>(options =>
{
    options.Path = @"errors";
    options.LogPath = "~/logs";
    options.Notifiers.Add(new ErrorMailNotifier("Email",emailOptions));
});

Each notifier must have unique name.

Using Filters

You can use Elmah XML filter configuration in separate file, create and add custom filters:

services.AddElmah<XmlFileErrorLog>(options =>
{
    options.FiltersConfig = "elmah.xml";
    options.Filters.Add(new MyFilter());
})

Custom filter must implement IErrorFilter. XML filter config example:

<?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8" ?>
<elmah>
 <errorFilter>
  <notifiers>
   <notifier name="Email"/>
  </notifiers>
  <test>
   <and>
    <greater binding="HttpStatusCode" value="399" type="Int32" />
    <lesser  binding="HttpStatusCode" value="500" type="Int32" />
   </and>
  </test>
 </errorFilter>
</elmah>

JavaScript filters not yet implemented

Add notifiers to errorFilter node if you do not want to send notifications Filtered errors will be logged, but will not be sent.
