logly is a powerful library for ASP.NET Core that makes request and response logging more modular and visually appealing. 📝✨

📸 Example Output

Here's an example of what logly logging looks like:

🔧 Prerequisites

To prevent default logging by ASP.NET Core, you need to modify the BuildWebHost method.

Before:

public static IWebHost BuildWebHost(string[] args) =>
            WebHost.CreateDefaultBuilder(args)
                .UseStartup<Startup>()
                .Build();

After:

public static IWebHost BuildWebHost(string[] args) =>
            WebHost.CreateDefaultBuilder(args)
                .ConfigureLogging((context, logging) =>
                {
                    logging.ClearProviders();
                })
                .UseStartup<Startup>()
                .Build();

🚀 Setup

To enable logging, you have two options:

✅ Simple Setup

Just add the following line to the Configure method in the Startup.cs file:

app.UseLogly();

This enables basic logging for:

  • Request Method 📝
  • Response Status Code ✅
  • Response Time ⏱️

⚙️ Advanced Setup

For more control, use LoggerOptionsBuilder to specify logging options:

app.UseLogly(opts => opts
                    .AddRequestMethod()  // Logs HTTP method (GET, POST, etc.)
                    .AddStatusCode()     // Logs response status codes (200, 404, etc.)
                    .AddResponseTime()   // Logs response time in milliseconds
                    .AddUrl()            // Logs request URL
                    .AddResponseLength() // Logs response size in bytes
                    .AddIgnoreUrls("/health", "/metrics")); // Ignore specific URLs

🛠️ New Feature: Ignore Specific URLs

You can now specify a list of URL patterns to ignore using AddIgnoreUrls. This is useful for skipping logging on health checks, monitoring endpoints, or other unnecessary logs.

app.UseLogly(opts => opts.AddIgnoreUrls("/health", "/metrics", "/swagger/*"));
  • Supports glob patterns for flexibility (e.g., /swagger/* ignores all Swagger routes).

🚀 logly makes logging clean, structured, and easy to use. Give it a try and streamline your ASP.NET Core logging today! 🚀
