Summary
Logging is a simple concept that can save us a lot of time and trouble when reviewing our applications. The ability to write logs ships with .NET Core and we can easily leverage the native capabilities to begin producing log information about the operations of our applications.
We need to ensure that we do not log sensitive information and we must be aware of company and security policies when authoring our logs. We also need to ensure that our logs are stored securely both in transit and at rest. We also can log to multiple channels, but we should be careful when choosing these channels, relative to our security guidelines.
Several .NET Core frameworks enhance the natural capabilities of the built-in API and introduce even more integrations. A popular choice is Serilog, which has many extensions called sinks, which offer us a wide range of simultaneous log channel options. With it, we can easily create and manage log files on a rolling interval that we specify.
