Lightrun for .NET

Lightrun is a developer-native observability platform. It's a way to add logs, inspect the state of the current execution (in a familiar, debugger-like view), and extract any type of code-level metric on the fly - without redeploying, restarting or even stopping the running application.

Check out our docs to learn more.

Getting Started

To get started with Lightrun you'll need three things:

1. A Lightrun Account - you can get one here.
2. A Lightrun Plugin - you'll have instructions to download it once you create an account, but you can also check them out here.
3. A Lightrun Agent - which is this very NuGet package! It's the thing that actually does the magic.

Once you've signed up for an account and downloaded the plugin, you can install the agent in your application.

Installing the Lightrun Agent

In order to install the Lightrun .NET Agent please follow these steps:

1. Add the Lightrun NuGet package to your project

2. Import Lightrun at the start of your application file (i.e. Program.cs) and then start it:

using Lightrun; LightrunAgent.Start(new AgentOptions { Secret = "<COMPANY-SECRET>", });

You will have a <COMPANY-SECRET> auto-generated for you during the onboarding process, right after signing up for an account.
