Revisiting improved HTTP logging in ASP.NET Core 8

A few years ago, I had a play with HTTP logging added in ASP.NET Core 6. ASP.NET Core 8 introduced a set of additional configuration options that I believe are essential to make this feature usable. I will recap the details from the previous post below, but for more context, the first part of this series is here. In this post, I'll go through some of the changes introduced in HTTP logging since last. Before I jump into the improvements, let's recap how to set up HTTP logging.

How to Build a Data Migration Plan? A Step By Step Guide

Data growth is growing at an extraordinary pace, with a compound annual growth rate (CAGR) of 28% projected over the next few years. For organizations dealing with logs, metrics, and traces, this massive data expansion brings both opportunities and challenges. As data volumes soar, having flexibility in where you store and analyze it—whether in a SIEM, object storage, or other platforms—has become essential.

Understanding Java Logs

Logs are the notetakers for your Java application. In a meeting, you might take notes so that you can remember important details later. Your Java logs do the same thing for your application. They document important information about the application’s ability to function and problems that keep it from working as intended. Logs give you information to help fix coding errors, but they also give your end users information that helps them monitor performance and security.

Launch Week Keynote: Log Management and Analytics

Logs have always been a critical component of observability, extending beyond embedded development. Many embedded teams rely heavily on logs and strive to enhance efficiency. Some struggle to extract value from their logs due to the complexities of collection and analysis. Regardless of your team's current situation, we are here to help. Our new Log Management and Analytics offering streamlines log collection, accelerates investigations, and transforms your logs into easily accessible insights across your entire fleet.

Introducing the Observability Center of Excellence: Taking Your Observability Game to the Next Level

Chasing false alerts — or worse, having your system go down with no alerts or telemetry to give you a heads-up — is the nightmare we all want to avoid. If you’ve experienced this, you’re not alone. Before joining Splunk, I spent 14 years as an observability practitioner and leader for several Fortune 500 companies and in my 2.5 years with Splunk I have had the opportunity to work with customers of all shapes and sizes.

Users building and running these container applications need to conduct effective debugging and monitoring practices and for this, they have turned to Docker logging. To understand the importance of this, the latest edition of our how-to guide series surrounds Docker.

Using Trace Data for Effective Root Cause Analysis

Solving system failures and performance issues can be like solving a tough puzzle for engineers. But trace data can make it simpler. It helps engineers see how systems behave, find problems, and understand what's causing them. So let’s chat about why trace data is important, how it's used for finding the root cause of issues, and how it can help engineers troubleshoot more effectively.

The Best Tips for Implementing Effective Alerts

When monitoring your logs metrics and traces it’s crucial that you can detect issues early to ensure the uptime of applications, alleviate bottlenecks, and enhance the performance of your systems. If you’re an experienced developer or IT professional this is a straightforward task when you’re viewing the data in front of you. However, when you aren’t viewing your data, it's just as important to guarantee that your systems are functioning optimally. This is achieved through alerts.
