Stratara.ServiceDefaults

Derived. The behaviour described here is specified under openspec/specs/. Those specifications are the source; this page explains and illustrates them.

License: MIT.

Cross-host observability defaults for the Stratara stack. Reference from every host (API, worker) to get OpenTelemetry + Serilog wired up with sensible defaults.

What's in the box

Extension Purpose
ConfigureOpenTelemetry Logging + metrics + tracing with HTTP, EF Core, RabbitMQ, runtime instrumentation; OTLP exporter wired up automatically when OTEL_EXPORTER_OTLP_ENDPOINT is set. Accepts optional MeterProviderBuilder / TracerProviderBuilder callbacks for host-specific extras.
ConfigureSerilog Structured logging with destructuring attributes, async console sink, OTLP sink (gRPC or HTTP/Protobuf based on OTEL_EXPORTER_OTLP_PROTOCOL), dev-mode log cleanup at {Path.GetTempPath()}/stratara-logs/{service-name}.log — the OS temp directory, so not literally /tmp on Windows or macOS.
ConfigureSerilogBootstrapLogger Sets up Log.Logger as a bootstrap logger before the host is built, so early-startup errors surface to the console.

Quick start

builder.ConfigureOpenTelemetry();
builder.ConfigureSerilog();

It deletes your development log file on start-up

In the Development environment only, configuring Serilog deletes the current log file before opening it: %TEMP%/stratara-logs/{OTEL_SERVICE_NAME}.log, where the service name falls back to Unknown when OTEL_SERVICE_NAME is unset. The intent is a clean file per debugging session rather than one that grows across dozens of restarts.

Two consequences worth knowing before they cost you an hour:

  • A crash you wanted to read is gone the moment you restart to reproduce it. Copy the file before restarting, or point the sink elsewhere for that session.
  • Two development services with no OTEL_SERVICE_NAME share Unknown.log and delete each other's. Set the variable per service.

Outside Development nothing is deleted.

Sibling packages

  • Stratara.EventSourcing.WorkerDefaults — one-stop AddBackendServices / AddXxxWorkerServices composites that wire the framework's mediator + outbox + projections + sagas stack.
  • Stratara.ServiceDefaults.AspNetCore — ASP.NET-specific extras: AddDefaultHealthChecks + MapDefaultEndpoints (/health, /alive) and ASP.NET request OTel instrumentation.

Dependencies

  • Stratara.Shared — diagnostics base (ApplicationDiagnostics.Activity.SourceName).
  • OpenTelemetry runtime + exporter packages.
  • Serilog sinks (Console, File, Async, OpenTelemetry).
  • Destructurama.Attributed for destructuring conventions.
  • Microsoft.Extensions.Http.Resilience + Microsoft.Extensions.ServiceDiscovery.

Prerelease dependencies. This package transitively pulls in two prerelease OpenTelemetry instrumentation packages that have no stable release yet: OpenTelemetry.Instrumentation.EntityFrameworkCore (beta) and RabbitMQ.Client.OpenTelemetry (RC). Both ride the stable OpenTelemetry 1.15.x core. NU5104 is suppressed in this csproj with that justification — consumers inherit the prerelease deps transitively. We will swap to GA as soon as the vendors ship stable.

A one-fix release. On the Redis-backed replay state, a host could report a replay still active after it had ended
it, holding publication back for up to one refresh interval. Nothing else changes; no configuration or migration is
needed.

### Fixed

- **A host no longer reports a replay active after it ended the replay itself.** On the Redis-backed replay state, a
 refresh that had read the marking just before the host's own deactivation could compare its generation before the
 deactivation and write the field after it, leaving `IsReplayActive` true — and publication held back — until the
 next refresh (`ProjectionReplay:RefreshSeconds`, default 5). The comparison and the write are now one step with the
 transition. Present since 4.4.2.
