Add logging to your Service Fabric application
Your application must provide enough information to forensically debug it when problems arise. Logging is one of the most important things you can add to your Service Fabric application. When a failure occurs, good logging can give you a way to investigate failures. By analyzing log patterns, you may find ways to improve the performance or design of your application. This document demonstrates a few different logging options.
EventFlow
The EventFlow library suite allows applications to define what diagnostics data to collect, and where they should be outputted to. Diagnostics data can be anything from performance counters to application traces. It runs in the same process as the application, so communication overhead is minimized. For more information about EventFlow and Service Fabric, see Azure Service Fabric Event Aggregation with EventFlow.
Using structured EventSource events
Defining message events by use case allows you to package data about the event, in the context of the event. You can more easily search and filter based on the names or values of the specified event properties. Structuring the instrumentation output makes it easier to read, but requires more thought and time to define an event for each use case.
Some event definitions can be shared across the entire application. For example, a method start or stop event would be reused across many services within an application. A domain-specific service, like an order system, might have a CreateOrder event, which has its own unique event. This approach might generate many events, and potentially require coordination of identifiers across project teams.
[EventSource(Name = "MyCompany-VotingState-VotingStateService")]
internal sealed class ServiceEventSource : EventSource
{
public static readonly ServiceEventSource Current = new ServiceEventSource();
// The instance constructor is private to enforce singleton semantics.
private ServiceEventSource() : base() { }
...
// The ServiceTypeRegistered event contains a unique identifier, an event attribute that defined the event, and the code implementation of the event.
private const int ServiceTypeRegisteredEventId = 3;
[Event(ServiceTypeRegisteredEventId, Level = EventLevel.Informational, Message = "Service host process {0} registered service type {1}", Keywords = Keywords.ServiceInitialization)]
public void ServiceTypeRegistered(int hostProcessId, string serviceType)
{
WriteEvent(ServiceTypeRegisteredEventId, hostProcessId, serviceType);
}
// The ServiceHostInitializationFailed event contains a unique identifier, an event attribute that defined the event, and the code implementation of the event.
private const int ServiceHostInitializationFailedEventId = 4;
[Event(ServiceHostInitializationFailedEventId, Level = EventLevel.Error, Message = "Service host initialization failed", Keywords = Keywords.ServiceInitialization)]
public void ServiceHostInitializationFailed(string exception)
{
WriteEvent(ServiceHostInitializationFailedEventId, exception);
}
...
Using EventSource generically
Because defining specific events can be difficult, many people define a few events with a common set of parameters that generally output their information as a string. Much of the structured aspect is lost, and it's more difficult to search and filter the results. In this approach, a few events that usually correspond to the logging levels are defined. The following snippet defines a debug and error message:
[EventSource(Name = "MyCompany-VotingState-VotingStateService")]
internal sealed class ServiceEventSource : EventSource
{
public static readonly ServiceEventSource Current = new ServiceEventSource();
// The Instance constructor is private, to enforce singleton semantics.
private ServiceEventSource() : base() { }
...
private const int DebugEventId = 10;
[Event(DebugEventId, Level = EventLevel.Verbose, Message = "{0}")]
public void Debug(string msg)
{
WriteEvent(DebugEventId, msg);
}
private const int ErrorEventId = 11;
[Event(ErrorEventId, Level = EventLevel.Error, Message = "Error: {0} - {1}")]
public void Error(string error, string msg)
{
WriteEvent(ErrorEventId, error, msg);
}
...
Using a hybrid of structured and generic instrumentation also can work well. Structured instrumentation is used for reporting errors and metrics. Generic events can be used for the detailed logging that is consumed by engineers for troubleshooting.
Microsoft.Extensions.Logging
The ASP.NET Core logging (Microsoft.Extensions.Logging NuGet package) is a logging framework that provides a standard logging API for your application. Support for other logging backends can be plugged into ASP.NET Core logging. This gives you a wide variety of support for logging in your application is processed, without having to change much code.
Add the Microsoft.Extensions.Logging NuGet package to the project you want to instrument. Also, add any provider packages. For more information, see Logging in ASP.NET Core.
Add a using directive for Microsoft.Extensions.Logging to your service file.
Define a private variable within your service class.
private ILogger _logger = null;
In the constructor of your service class, add this code:
_logger = new LoggerFactory().CreateLogger<Stateless>();
Start instrumenting your code in your methods. Here are a few samples:
_logger.LogDebug("Debug-level event from Microsoft.Logging"); _logger.LogInformation("Informational-level event from Microsoft.Logging"); // In this variant, we're adding structured properties RequestName and Duration, which have values MyRequest and the duration of the request. // Later in the article, we discuss why this step is useful. _logger.LogInformation("{RequestName} {Duration}", "MyRequest", requestDuration);
Using other logging providers
Some third-party providers use the approach described in the preceding section, including Serilog, NLog, and Loggr. You can plug each of these into ASP.NET Core logging, or you can use them separately. Serilog has a feature that enriches all messages sent from a logger. This feature can be useful to output the service name, type, and partition information. To use this capability in the ASP.NET Core infrastructure, do these steps:
Add the Serilog, Serilog.Extensions.Logging, Serilog.Sinks.Literate, and Serilog.Sinks.Observable NuGet packages to the project.
Create a
LoggerConfiguration
and the logger instance.Log.Logger = new LoggerConfiguration().WriteTo.LiterateConsole().CreateLogger();
Add a
Serilog.ILogger
argument to the service constructor, and pass the newly created logger.ServiceRuntime.RegisterServiceAsync("StatelessType", context => new Stateless(context, Log.Logger)).GetAwaiter().GetResult();
In the service constructor, creates property enrichers for ServiceTypeName, ServiceName, PartitionId, and InstanceId.
public Stateless(StatelessServiceContext context, Serilog.ILogger serilog) : base(context) { PropertyEnricher[] properties = new PropertyEnricher[] { new PropertyEnricher("ServiceTypeName", context.ServiceTypeName), new PropertyEnricher("ServiceName", context.ServiceName), new PropertyEnricher("PartitionId", context.PartitionId), new PropertyEnricher("InstanceId", context.ReplicaOrInstanceId), }; serilog.ForContext(properties); _logger = new LoggerFactory().AddSerilog(serilog.ForContext(properties)).CreateLogger<Stateless>(); }
Instrument the code the same as if you were using ASP.NET Core without Serilog.
Note
We recommend that you don't use the static
Log.Logger
with the preceding example. Service Fabric can host multiple instances of the same service type within a single process. If you use the staticLog.Logger
, the last writer of the property enrichers will show values for all instances that are running. This is one reason why the _logger variable is a private member variable of the service class. Also, you must make the_logger
available to common code, which might be used across services.
