We are currently creating an application in .NET framework with the microservice architecture. As this is an application that'll need to be implemented at our customers, on premise, we require logging. We do not want this to be cloud based, and would like to be able to follow each API call in depth.
What would be the best way to go about this?
FOA after learning some .Net logging basics, to monitor an application, there are several logging-utilities, such as LogExpert tool to perform logging in windows. Apache Log4j is very good but will not be compatible with .Net. There are a number of logging tools for .Net, select one from the following two categories:
A. Built-in logging providers from the .net framework you can perform logging using: Console, Debug, EventSource and EventLog classes to provider logs output to the console, writes log output to the debug provider, writes to a cross-platform event source, and provider sends log output to the Windows Event Log respectively.
B. Using a list of Third-party logging providers.
For in-depth scientific tasks such as application performance monitoring and dynamic software analysis framework are available, such as Kieker. But for .Net you have to ask for support.
