Thundra's .NET agent provides two modes of logging. The simple way to log is via the console using the Console method of C#. Therefore, Console.WriteLine("Hello") would log the message “hello” to the Thundra console.

The second way to log messages to the console involves using the Microsoft Logging extension, where you use LoggerFactory and add the Thundra provider as described in the following sections.

Initializing Thundra Logger

Thundra Logger is built on top of Microsoft's logging extension with ASP.NET. Therefore, when you create a new instance of LoggerFactory(), you must add the Thundra logger as well: LoggerFactory().AddThundraProvider(). After that, you may create a logger by using the CreateLogger<FunctionName>() method of the Logger Factory and then start to log with the levels present.

According to the LoggerExtension the following levels are present:

• LogCritical

• LogDebug

• LogError

• LogInformation

• LogTrace

• LogWarning

The code snippet below is a basic example illustrating how you can set up Thundra's logger.

var loggerFactory = new LoggerFactory().AddThundraProvider();
var logger = loggerFactory.CreateLogger<Function>();

Configuring Logger

There are three configurations that you can set in different ways. The configurations are:

• Setting the minimum log level

• Disabling console logging

• Disabling log data completely

Configuration of .NET logs can be done in three different ways. These involve programmatic configurations, configuration via environment variables, and user configuration files. All log data is enabled by default, and the minimum log level is Trace with priority level 0.

ThundraConfig config = ThundraConfigProvider.GetThundraConfig();
config.DisableLog = "false";
config.LogLevel = "trace"
config.DisableConsoleLog = "true"

Changing Log Level

You can change log levels using the environment variable thundra_agent_lambda_log_disable or by programmatically changing ThundraConfig's LogLevel parameter.

Disabling Console Logs

You can disable console logs using the environment variable thundra_agent_lambda_log_console_disable or by programmatically changing ThundraConfig's DisableLog parameter.

Enabling Log Plugin

Log monitoring is disabled by default, but can be enabled by setting the relevant configuration parameters. These parameters include the thundra_agent_lambda_log_disable environment variable and the disable_log object initialization parameter.
