New Object missing if not using Data Provider - Audit.Net

Question

I notice the AuditScope got .Event properties which contains the value the event logs. So it can convert to json by using this command

var Scope = AuditScope.Create("Account:Suspend", () => user);

//Change value properties on user object
//Save into database

//Retrieve eventlog from audit
var EventInJson = Scope.Event.ToJson();

So I decide to not use CustomDataProvider, so I configure Audit.Net like this

Audit.Core.Configuration.Setup();

But the New Object was missing inside the Target Object. Sample result

{ "EventType": "Account:Suspend", "Environment": { "UserName": "test", "MachineName": "test", "DomainName": "test", "CallingMethodName": "Account.API.Controllers.AccountController+<UpdateSuspend>d__35.MoveNext()", "AssemblyName": "Account.API, Version=1.0.0.0, Culture=neutral, PublicKeyToken=null", "Culture": "en-MY" }, "Target": { "Type": "ApplicationUser", "Old": { "CountryId": 1, "IsDeleted": false, "IsSuspend": true, "RiskLevelId": 0, "CreationDate": "2018-10-05T04:51:32.485", "LastLoginDate": "2018-10-05T04:51:32.486", "Id": 23, "UserName": "user", "NormalizedUserName": "test", "Email": "test@test.com", "NormalizedEmail": "test@test.com", "EmailConfirmed": false, "SecurityStamp": "Test", "ConcurrencyStamp": "test", "PhoneNumberConfirmed": false, "TwoFactorEnabled": false, "LockoutEnd": "2018-12-18T04:15:56.2490628+00:00", "LockoutEnabled": false, "AccessFailedCount": 0 } }, "StartDate": "2019-01-08T09:35:34.8363926Z", "Duration": 0 }

Is possible to use without data provider?

Answer 1

The New value is missing because it's updated when the scope is Saved, depending on the creation policy it could be when the scope is disposed, or when you explicitly call the Save method on the AuditScope. So after you modify the target object and before you get the auditevent, you have to dispose the scope or call its Save method.

Also note that calling like this Audit.Core.Configuration.Setup(); is not enough to have a NULL data provider, that code will just let the default which is the FileDataProvider. In order to specify a NULL data provider you can do Audit.Core.Configuration.Setup().UseNullProvider();
