Jattac Logging Library

This basic yet extensible library build primarily to log exceptions.

Overview

It comes with two inbuilt log targets

1. Console Logger Logs to the console.
2. Disk Logger Logs to disk, and automatically deletes any files older than 30 days.

Usage

Simplest way to to create a global static instance program's startup. The constructor expects a HashSet of all the log targets that events shall be written.

public partial class Program
{
    public static ErrorLogger ErrorLogger = new ErrorLogger(new HashSet<IErrorLogTarget>
    {
        new ConsoleErrorTarget(),
        new DiskErrorLogTarget()
    });
}

After setup, you may now use the logger in your code. E.g.

public void MyMethod()
{
    try
    {
        // Error prone code
    }
    catch(Exception e)
    {
        ErrorLogger.Log(e, "Error occured when running the error prone section of the method");
    }
}

Extending The Library

If you wish to log to additional targets, then simply create a class that implements the interface

    public interface IErrorLogTarget
    {
        Task LogAsync(RichException richException);
    }

Which only requires single async method that receives a single argument with the exception information.

After creating your class then, you can include it in the log targets during instantiation of the ErrorLogger
