Logging and Monitoring in .NET Core

The document outlines a logging and monitoring strategy for .NET Core applications using Serilog for structured logging and contextual data enrichment. It details the implementation of correlation and traceability with a CorrelationId, global exception handling middleware, and monitoring tools like Application Insights and Prometheus with Grafana. Additionally, it covers alerting configurations for performance issues and the use of health checks in Kubernetes.

Logging and Monitoring in .

NET Core Applications


1. Logging Strategy
Framework Used: Used Serilog for structured logging with sinks like Console, File,
and Seq.

Enrichment: Included contextual data like CorrelationId, UserId, and RequestPath


using [Link].

Log Levels: Configured proper log levels (Information, Warning, Error, Fatal) per
environment (e.g., verbose in dev, warning+ in prod).

Middleware: Implemented Request/Response Logging Middleware to capture incoming and


outgoing data with headers and bodies using MemoryStream.

2. Correlation and Traceability


Generated and propagated a CorrelationId for every request:

Stored it in X-Correlation-ID header.

Used it across microservices for distributed tracing.

Integrated with Serilog using custom middleware.

3. Exception Handling
Registered a global exception handler middleware:

Logs unhandled exceptions.

Returns standard error response (with traceId).

Captures stack trace, exception type, and request context for deep analysis.

4. Monitoring Tools
Application Insights / Prometheus + Grafana:

Tracked performance metrics (response time, failure rates, dependency calls).

Enabled Live Metrics and custom telemetry for business events.

Health Checks:

Implemented /health endpoint using [Link].

Integrated liveness and readiness checks in Kubernetes.

5. Alerting & Observability


Configured alerts for:

High error rate, high latency, service unavailability.

Dashboards showed:

Request volume, HTTP status codes, exception trends.
