Configuration¶
Parameters can be configured within appsettings.json of this application.
Configuration file example:
{
"Logging": {
"LogLevel": {
"Default": "Information",
"System": "Warning",
"Microsoft": "Warning"
},
"Console": {
"FormatterName": "simple"
},
"ApplicationInsights": {
"LogLevel": {
"Default": "Information",
"System": "Error",
"Microsoft": "Error"
}
}
},
"DebugIndicators": "App,Detail,Onl",
"ApplicationInsights": {
"InstrumentationKey": null
},
"ConnectionStrings": {
"DbDataContextConnectionString": "Server=.;Database=FrontStage;Trusted_Connection=True;"
},
"DatabaseType": "MsSql",
"InstanceKey": 0,
"TempPath": "E:\\Atlantis\\SrecConvert"
}
Note
Part of the configuration can be separated into another file appsettings.ENVIRONMENT.json, where ENVIRONMENT is the name of the environment, which can be specified using an environment variable named DOTNET_ENVIRONMENT. This file is used during development and testing.
Logging section¶
It contains the default settings (subsection Logging:Loglevel) and then a subsection for individual providers (where the LogLevel structure is repeated). The providers Logging:Console, Logging:Debug, Logging:EventSource, Logging:ApplicationInsights and, when deployed on Windows, Logging:EventLog are also considered. Logging in detail
Loglevel structure¶
The subsection usually contains a Default area that indicates the default logging level for all areas. Specific fields can then be listed separately. The areas are set as FQDN C# classes by default. The possible levels are Trace, Debug, Information, Warning, Error, Critical and None.
Console provider¶
The most common provider, whose content is visible in the running application window if running as a console and in the Kubernetes log. The Logging:Console:FormatterName parameter can be used to influence the format of the output, possible values are simple, systemd and json. Formatting details
Debug provider¶
It can be used in Windows, which can be monitored using DbgView, or in Linux, where it is written to files in the /var/log/syslog or /var/log/message folders.
ApplicationInsights section.¶
In .NET Core 6.0, it has only one parameter, ApplicationInsights:InstrumentationKey, specifying the key to the ApplicationInsights repository. AppInsights Configuration Details
ConnectionStrings section¶
In the ConnectionStrings section, there is a single parameter named ConnectionStrings:DbDataContextConnectionString that contains the connection string to the database. For more info see Connectionstring.
