WatchDog

Introduction

WatchDog is a Realtime HTTP (Request & Response) and Exception logger and viewer for ASP.Net Core Web Apps and APIs. It allows developers log and view http requests made to their web application and also exception caught during runtime in their web applications in Realtime. It leverages on LiteDb a Serverless MongoDB-like database with no configuration and SignalR for real-time monitoring.

General Features

RealTime HTTP Request and Response Logger
RealTime Exception Logger
User Friendly Logger Views
Search Option for HTTP and Exception Logs
Filtering Option for HTTP Logs using HTTP Methods and StatusCode
Logger View Authentication
Auto Clear Logs Option

Installation

Install via .NET CLI

dotnet add package WatchDog.NET --version 1.1.0

Install via Package Manager

Install-Package WatchDog.NET --version 1.1.0

Usage

To enable WatchDog to listen for requests, use the WatchDog middleware provided by WatchDog.

Add WatchDog Namespace in Startup.cs

using WatchDog;

Register WatchDog service in `Startup.cs` under `ConfigureService()`

services.AddWatchDogServices();

Setup AutoClear Logs `Optional`

This clears the logs after a specific duration.

services.AddWatchDogServices(opt => 
{ 
   opt.IsAutoClear = true; 
});

NOTE When IsAutoClear = true Default Schedule Time is set to Weekly, override the settings like below:

services.AddWatchDogServices(opt => 
{ 
   opt.IsAutoClear = true;
   opt.ClearTimeSchedule = WatchDogAutoClearScheduleEnum.Monthly;
});

Add WatchDog middleware in the HTTP request pipeline in `Startup.cs` under `Configure()`

NOTE Add Authentication option like below: Important

This authentication information (Username and Password) will be used to access the log viewer.

app.UseWatchDog(opt => 
{ 
   opt.WatchPageUsername = "admin"; 
   opt.WatchPagePassword = "Qwerty@123"; 
 });

Add list of routes you want to ignore by the logger: `Optional`

List of routes, paths or specific strings to be ignored should be a comma separated string like below.

app.UseWatchDog(opt => 
{ 
   opt.WatchPageUsername = "admin"; 
   opt.WatchPagePassword = "Qwerty@123"; 
   opt.Blacklist = "Test/testPost, weatherforecast";
 });

Add WatchDog Exception Logger `Optional`

This is used to log in-app exceptions that occur during a particular HTTP request.

NOTE Add Exception Logger before the main WatchDog Middleware

app.UseWatchDogExceptionLogger();

app.UseWatchDog(opt => 
{ 
   opt.WatchPageUsername = "admin"; 
   opt.WatchPagePassword = "Qwerty@123"; 
   opt.Blacklist = "Test/testPost, weatherforecast";
 });

View Logs and Exception

Start your server and head to /watchdog to view the logs.

Example: https://myserver.com/watchdog or https://localhost:[your port]/watchdog
