Serilog VS BenchmarkDotNet

To learn more about Serilog, you can visit the documentation on their GitHub project. To learn more about Seq, you can visit the documentation on their website.

These projects use dependency injection for connections and have no logging although they are ready to log to the console via SeriLog setup in Program.cs.

See here: https://github.com/serilog/serilog/wiki/Configuration-Basics e.g.

Captured in public static void OnActivated() and note Log is SeriLog.

"Serilog": { "Using": [ "Serilog.Sinks.File" ], "Enrich": [ "WithHttpRequestId", "WithExceptionDetails", "WithClientIp" ], "MinimumLevel": { "Default": "Information" }, "WriteTo": [ { "Name": "File", "Args": { "path": "../../../../../Logs/MyApp/MyApp-.log", "rollingInterval": "Day", "retainedFileCountLimit": "7", "outputTemplate": "[{Timestamp:yyyy-MM-dd HH:mm:ss.fff zzz} {CorrelationId} {Level:u3}] {Username} {Message:lj}{NewLine}{Exception} {Properties:lj}{NewLine}" } } ] } 👆 I got the enricher names from serilog's wiki. The idea was to log the HTTPRequestId, ClientIp, and automagically log the details of every exception thrown (without having to do _logger.LogError(...)). However I don't see those details in the logs. In Program.cs: ``` var logger = new LoggerConfiguration() .ReadFrom.Configuration(builder.Configuration) .Enrich.FromLogContext() .CreateLogger();

You could also write a custom destructuring policy, assuming it's a flurl-specific public exception type and you only need certain properties of it. You'd implement IDestructuringPolicy and then add it to the configuration:

Serilog for logging

I've cloned https://github.com/serilog/serilog and I'm not sure what's going on with the multitargetting in the tests? Does this (below) mean, if the dev's OS is windows, then target framework 462 or 471? What should I do on my laptop, which only has the net6 and fw48 sdk installed?

Let’s look at the first example you see, when you open up BenchmarkDotnet’s website, or Github page.

Or use BenchmarkDotNet which, among other things to get an accurate benchmark, does JIT warmup outside of measurement.

( https://github.com/dotnet/BenchmarkDotNet ).

You can also do proper statistically correct benchmarking by using - https://github.com/dotnet/BenchmarkDotNet. This will run warmup the jit, gauge the overheads, and run your function many times to give you proper data.

take a look at: https://benchmarkdotnet.org/

Yes, weak references are slower than direct calls. How much slower? Heck if I know offhand. But it's usually pretty easy to set up something with Benchmark .NET and find out if it hurts your use case.

For this purpose we are going to use our beloved BenchmarkDotNet tool.

To quantify and compare the performance of the object mapping strategies discussed earlier, we can employ BenchmarkDotNet.

BenchmarkDotNet is a popular open-source library that, as stated in the repo's README.md, helps us to transform methods into benchmarks, track their performance, and share reproducible measurement experiments. Using BenchmarkDotNet feels similar to writing unit tests. It's very important to note that the library only works with console apps. Finally, we can visualize the results in the terminal where the benchmark ran or in user-friendly formats such as markdown, HTML and CSV. We will explore examples of there formats later in the article.

However, obviously this prevents parallelism within the lock, so this only makes sense if you do some other expensive operation in the parallel loop and the string builder is only a small part of it. Performance wise, it may be better to concatenate the results together after the parallel operation, instead of locking inside the loop. You'll have to benchmark it to know for sure.

We’re of course going to be using BenchmarkDotNet for our benchmarks, and you can find all of the code for these over at GitHub. To start, we need an entry point hook for our single Benchmark class that will be defining the permutations of scenarios that we’d like to run. This will be relatively basic as follows:
