Mamemaki.EventFlow.HealthReporters.StdOutput

Introduction

This is a custom health reporter for Microsoft.Diagnostics.EventFlow to write to the console window.

The general flow of the process:

1. If the report level is less than minReportLevel value, skip the process.
2. Construct message string by corresponding to messageFormat value.
3. Output message string to STDOUT. If outputToStdError is true, output to STDERR instead of STDOUT.

Getting Started

To quickly get started, you can create a simple console application in VisualStudio as described below or just download and run PlayGround project.

1. Install NuGet packages

PM> Install-Package Microsoft.Diagnostics.EventFlow.Inputs.Trace PM> Install-Package Microsoft.Diagnostics.EventFlow.Outputs.StdOutput PM> Install-Package Mamemaki.EventFlow.HealthReporters.StdOutput

2. Add "eventFlowConfig.json"

Add a JSON file named "eventFlowConfig.json" to your project and set the Build Action property of the file to "Copy if Newer". Set the content of the file to the following:

{ "inputs": [ { "type": "Trace", "traceLevel": "Warning" } ], "outputs": [ { "type": "StdOutput" } ], "healthReporter": { "type": "StdOutputHealthReporter", "minReportLevel": "Healthy", "outputToStdError": "false", "messageFormat": "[HR] ${TimeStamp} ${Context} [${Level}]: ${Message}" }, "schemaVersion": "2016-08-11", "extensions": [ { "category": "healthReporter", "type": "StdOutputHealthReporter", "qualifiedTypeName": "Mamemaki.EventFlow.HealthReporters.StdOutput.StdOutputHealthReporter, Mamemaki.EventFlow.HealthReporters.StdOutput" } ] }

3. Create an EventFlow pipeline

Create an EventFlow pipeline in your application code using the code below. Run your application and see your traces in console output.

using (var pipeline = DiagnosticPipelineFactory.CreatePipeline("eventFlowConfig.json")) { System.Diagnostics.Trace.TraceWarning("EventFlow is working!"); Console.WriteLine("Press any key to exit..."); Console.ReadKey(intercept: true); }
