Global exception handling and custom logging in AspNet Core with MongoDB

In this, we would be looking into logging and global exception handling in the AspNet Core application with proper registration of logger and global exception handling.

Custom logging


The first step is to create a data model that we want to save into DB.

Error log Data model
These are few properties to do logging which could be extended or reduced based on need.

 public class ErrorLog  
 {  
      /// <summary>  
      /// Gets or sets the Error log identifier.  
      /// </summary>  
      /// <value>  
      /// The Error log identifier.  
      /// </value>  
      [BsonRepresentation(BsonType.ObjectId)]  
      public ObjectId Id { get; set;   
      /// <summary>  
      /// Gets or sets the date.  
      /// </summary>  
      /// <value>  
      /// The date.  
      /// </value>  
      public DateTime Date { get; set; }  
      /// <summary>  
      /// Gets or sets the thread.  
      /// </summary>  
      /// <value>  
      /// The thread.  
      /// </value>  
      public string Thread { get; set; }  
      /// <summary>  
      /// Gets or sets the level.  
      /// </summary>  
      /// <value>  
      /// The level.  
      /// </value>  
      public string Level { get; set; }  
      /// <summary>  
      /// Gets or sets the logger.  
      /// </summary>  
      /// <value>  
      /// The logger.  
      /// </value>  
      public string Logger { get; set; }  
      /// <summary>  
      /// Gets or sets the message.  
      /// </summary>  
      /// <value>  
      /// The message.  
      /// </value>  
      public string Message { get; set; }  
      /// <summary>  
      /// Gets or sets the exception.  
      /// </summary>  
      /// <value>  
      /// The exception.  
      /// </value>  
      public string Exception { get; set; }  
      /// <summary>  
      /// Gets or sets the user agent.  
      /// </summary>  
      /// <value>  
      /// The user agent.  
      /// </value>  
      public string UserAgent { get; set; }  
      /// <summary>  
      /// Gets or sets the ip address.  
      /// </summary>  
      /// <value>  
      /// The ip address.  
      /// </value>  
      public string IpAddress { get; set; }  
      /// <summary>  
      /// Gets or sets the URL.  
      /// </summary>  
      /// <value>  
      /// The URL.  
      /// </value>  
      public string Url { get; set; }  
      /// <summary>  
      /// Gets or sets the referrer.  
      /// </summary>  
      /// <value>  
      /// The referrer.  
      /// </value>  
      public string Referrer { get; set; }  
      /// <summary>  
      /// Gets or sets the name of the user.  
      /// </summary>  
      /// <value>  
      /// The name of the user.  
      /// </value>  
      public string UserName { get; set; }  
      /// <summary>  
      /// Gets or sets the name of the server.  
      /// </summary>  
      /// <value>  
      /// The name of the server.  
      /// </value>  
      public string ServerName { get; set; }  
 }

The logger, for collecting log information and inserting into DB

 It has to be extended from ILogger for implementing the definition of Logger.

       if (filter != null)  
         return (int)options.Filters[filter] <= (int)level;  
       else return true;  
     }  
     return true;  
   }  
 }

The Log<TState> is the main function where actual logging logic has to written which takes help of FormatLogValues for formatting exceptions.

The GetFilter uses MongoLoggerOption for checking the enabled filters from IsEnabled function

 /// <summary>  
 /// Mongo DB logger options.  
 /// </summary>  
 public class MongoLoggerOption  
 {  
   /// <summary>  
   /// Gets or sets the filters for logging.  
   /// </summary>  
   /// <value>  
   /// The filters for logging.  
   /// </value>  
   public Dictionary<string, LogLevel> Filters { get; set; }  
 }


Till now we have created a model and Logger implementation. Now, it is time for creating configuration/structure to register logger. For registration, we can create logger provider and an extension method to register logger on startup.

Logger provider
The importance of this is just to create an instance of logger based on filter and service provider.

 using Microsoft.Extensions.Logging;  
 using System;  
 /// <summary>  
 /// Mongo DB logger provider  
 /// </summary>  
 /// <typeparam name="TLog">The type of the log.</typeparam>  
 /// <seealso cref="Microsoft.Extensions.Logging.ILoggerProvider" />  
 public class MongoLoggerProvider<TLog> : ILoggerProvider  
   where TLog : ErrorLog, new()  
 {  
   /// <summary>  
   /// The filter for logging.  
   /// </summary>  
   private readonly Func<string, LogLevel, bool> Filter;  
   /// <summary>  
   /// The service provider  
   /// </summary>  
   private readonly IServiceProvider ServiceProvider;  
   /// <summary>  
   /// Initializes a new instance of the <see cref="MongoLoggerProvider{TLog}"/> class.  
   /// </summary>  
   /// <param name="serviceProvider">The service provider.</param>  
   /// <param name="filter">The filter.</param>  
   public MongoLoggerProvider(IServiceProvider serviceProvider, Func<string, LogLevel, bool> filter)  
   {  
     Filter = filter;  
     ServiceProvider = serviceProvider;  
   }  
   /// <summary>  
   /// Creates the logger.  
   /// </summary>  
   /// <param name="name">The name.</param>  
   /// <returns></returns>  
   public ILogger CreateLogger(string name)  
   {  
     return new MongoLogger<TLog>(name, Filter, ServiceProvider);  
   }  
   /// <summary>  
   /// Performs application-defined tasks associated with freeing, releasing, or resetting unmanaged resources.  
   /// </summary>  
   public void Dispose()  
   {  
     // Nothing to dispose.  
   }  
 }


ILoggerFactory implementation for registration

 using Microsoft.Extensions.Logging;  
 using System;  
 /// <summary>  
 /// Mongo DB logger registration.  
 /// </summary>  
 public static class MongoLoggerFactoryExtensions  
 {  
   /// <summary>  
   /// Adds the Mongo DB logger framework.  
   /// </summary>  
   /// <typeparam name="TLog">The type of the log.</typeparam>  
   /// <param name="factory">The factory.</param>  
   /// <param name="serviceProvider">The service provider.</param>  
   /// <param name="filter">The filter.</param>  
   /// <returns></returns>  
   /// <exception cref="ArgumentNullException"></exception>  
   public static ILoggerFactory AddMongoFramework<TLog>(this ILoggerFactory factory,  
     IServiceProvider serviceProvider, Func<string, LogLevel, bool> filter = null)  
     where TLog : ErrorLog, new()  
   {  
     if (factory == null)  
     {  
       throw new ArgumentNullException(nameof(factory));  
     }  
     factory.AddProvider(new MongoLoggerProvider<TLog>(serviceProvider, filter));  
     return factory;  
   }  
 }

Startup.cs, logger registration

 public IServiceProvider ServiceProvider { get; set; }  
 // INFO: Just an helper to populate ServiceProvider  
 public void ConfigureServices(IServiceCollection services)  
 {  
      //...  
      ServiceProvider = services.BuildServiceProvider();  
 }  
 public void Configure(IApplicationBuilder app, IHostingEnvironment env, ILoggerFactory loggerFactory)  
 {  
      loggerFactory.AddMongoFramework<ErrorLog>(ServiceProvider);  
      //...  
 }

That is all we need to for logging, have a look on usage https://docs.asp.net/en/latest/fundamentals/logging.html.


Global exception handling


Since logging is implemented, global exception handling would be straightforward in few easy steps.

Implementation of IExceptionFilter

 using Microsoft.AspNetCore.Mvc;  
 using Microsoft.AspNetCore.Mvc.Filters;  
 using Microsoft.AspNetCore.Routing;  
 using Microsoft.Extensions.Logging;  
 /// <summary>  
 /// Global exception filter for the application.  
 /// </summary>  
 /// <seealso cref="Microsoft.AspNetCore.Mvc.Filters.IExceptionFilter" />  
 public class GlobalExceptionFilter  
   : IExceptionFilter  
 {  
   /// <summary>  
   /// The logger  
   /// </summary>  
   private readonly ILogger<GlobalExceptionFilter> Logger;  
   /// <summary>  
   /// Initializes a new instance of the <see cref="GlobalExceptionFilter"/> class.  
   /// </summary>  
   /// <param name="logger">The logger.</param>  
   public GlobalExceptionFilter(ILogger<GlobalExceptionFilter> logger)  
   {  
     Logger = logger;  
   }  
   /// <summary>  
   /// Called after an action has thrown an <see cref="T:System.Exception" />.  
   /// </summary>  
   /// <param name="context">The <see cref="T:Microsoft.AspNetCore.Mvc.Filters.ExceptionContext" />.</param>  
   public void OnException(ExceptionContext context)  
   {  
     Logger.LogError(new EventId(999, "GlobalException"), context.Exception, "Unhandled Error");  
     context.ExceptionHandled = true;  
           // TODO: Create page/action for end user based on parameter.   
           // TIP: It can be further classified for AJAX and page request to change message accordingly.  
     context.Result = new RedirectToRouteResult(    
       new RouteValueDictionary(new  
       {  
         action = "Index",  
         controller = "Error",  
         id = "Unknown"  
       }));  
   }  
 }

Filter factory for injecting logger

 using Microsoft.AspNetCore.Mvc.Filters;  
 using Microsoft.Extensions.Logging;  
 using System;  
 namespace MyProject.Web.Infrastructure.Filter  
 {  
   /// <summary>  
   /// <see cref="GlobalExceptionFilter"/> factory.  
   /// </summary>  
   /// <seealso cref="Microsoft.AspNetCore.Mvc.Filters.IFilterFactory" />  
   public class GlobalExceptionFilterFactory  
     : IFilterFactory  
   {  
     /// <summary>  
     /// Gets a value that indicates if the result of <see cref="M:Microsoft.AspNetCore.Mvc.Filters.IFilterFactory.CreateInstance(System.IServiceProvider)" />  
     /// can be reused across requests.  
     /// </summary>  
     public bool IsReusable => false;  
     /// <summary>  
     /// Creates an instance of the executable filter.  
     /// </summary>  
     /// <param name="serviceProvider">The request <see cref="T:System.IServiceProvider" />.</param>  
     /// <returns>  
     /// An instance of the executable filter.  
     /// </returns>  
     public IFilterMetadata CreateInstance(IServiceProvider serviceProvider)  
     {  
       var loggerFactory = (ILogger<GlobalExceptionFilter>)serviceProvider.GetService(typeof(ILogger<GlobalExceptionFilter>));  
       return new GlobalExceptionFilter(loggerFactory);  
     }  
   }  
 }

Global exception filter registration in Startup.cs

 services.AddMvc(option =>  
 {  
   if (!Environment.IsDevelopment())  
   {  
     option.Filters.Add(new GlobalExceptionFilterFactory());  
   }  
 })


That is all we need to configure global exception handling. I have not added a controller for redirection of errors which can be easily done.

Elegantly dealing with TimeZones in MVC Core / WebApi

In any new application handling TimeZone/DateTime is mostly least priority and generally, if someone is concerned then it would be handled by using DateTime.UtcNow on codes while creating current dates and converting incoming Date to UTC to save on servers. Basically, the process is followed by saving DateTime to UTC format in a database and keep converting data to native format based on user region or single region in the application's presentation layer. The above is tedious work and have to be followed religiously. If any developer misses out the manual conversion, then that area of code/view would not work. With newer frameworks, there are flexible ways to deal/intercept incoming or outgoing calls to simplify conversion of TimeZones. These are steps/process to achieve it. 1. Central code for storing user's state about TimeZone. Also, central code for conversion logic based on TimeZones. 2. Dependency injection for the above class to ...

Trimming text can be done on client side codes, but I believe it is most suitable on MVC Model Binder since it would be at one place on infrastructure level which would be free from any manual intervention of developer. This would allow every post request to be processed and converted to a trimmed string. Let us start by creating Model binder using Microsoft.AspNetCore.Mvc.ModelBinding; using System; using System.Threading.Tasks; public class TrimmingModelBinder : IModelBinder { private readonly IModelBinder FallbackBinder; public TrimmingModelBinder(IModelBinder fallbackBinder) { FallbackBinder = fallbackBinder ?? throw new ArgumentNullException(nameof(fallbackBinder)); } public Task BindModelAsync(ModelBindingContext bindingContext) { if (bindingContext == null) { throw new ArgumentNullException(nameof(bindingContext)); } var valueProviderResult = bindingContext.ValueProvider.GetValue(bin...

Handling JSON DateTime format on Asp.Net Core

This is a very simple trick to handle JSON date format on AspNet Core by global settings. This can be applicable for the older version as well. In a newer version by default, .Net depends upon Newtonsoft to process any JSON data. Newtonsoft depends upon Newtonsoft.Json.Converters.IsoDateTimeConverter class for processing date which in turns adds timezone for JSON data format. There is a global setting available for same that can be adjusted according to requirement. So, for example, we want to set default formatting to US format, we just need this code. services.AddMvc() .AddJsonOptions(options => { options.SerializerSettings.DateTimeZoneHandling = "MM/dd/yyyy HH:mm:ss"; });

Centralized model validation both for MVC/WebApi and SPA client-side validation using FluentValidation

Validation is one of the crucial parts of any application. It has to validate on both client side and server side requests. What are target features or implementation from this article? Model validation for any given model. Centralized/One code for validation on both server-side and client-side. Automatic validation of model without writing any extra codes on/under actions for validation.  NO EXTRA/ANY codes on client-side to validate any form. Compatible with SPA. Can be compatible with any client-side validation framework/library. Like Angular Reactive form validation or any jquery validation libraries. Tools used in the implementation? FluentValidation : I feel DataAnnotation validation are excellent and simple to use, but in case of complex validation or writing any custom validations are always tricker and need to write a lot of codes to achieve whereas FluentValidations are simple even in case of complex validation. Generally, we need to validate inc...

LDAP with ASP.Net Identity Core in MVC with project.json

Lightweight Directory Access Protocol (LDAP), the name itself explain it. An application protocol used over an IP network to access the distributed directory information service. The first and foremost thing is to add references for consuming LDAP. This has to be done by adding reference from Global Assembly Cache (GAC) into project.json "frameworks": { "net461": { "frameworkAssemblies": { "System.DirectoryServices": "4.0.0.0", "System.DirectoryServices.AccountManagement": "4.0.0.0" } } }, These  System.DirectoryServices  and  System.DirectoryServices.AccountManagement  references are used to consume LDAP functionality. It is always better to have an abstraction for irrelevant items in consuming part. For an example, the application does not need to know about PrincipalContext or any other dependent items from those two references to make it extensible. So, we can begin wi...

Channel, ChannelReader and ChannelWriter to manage data streams in multi-threading environment

I came across Channel class while working with SignalR which looks really interesting. By looking into NuGet packages ( https://www.nuget.org/packages/System.Threading.Channels ), it seems just 4 months old. The Channel class provides infrastructure to have multiple reads and write simuletensely through it's Reader and Writer properties. This is where it is handy in case of SignalR where data streaming needs to be done but is not just limited to that but wherever something needs to be read/write/combination of both in a multi-threading environment. In my case with SignalR, I had to stream stock data at a regular interval of time. public ChannelReader<StockData> StreamStock() { var channel = Channel.CreateUnbounded<StockData>(); _stockManager.OnStockData = stockData => { channel.Writer.TryWrite(stockData); }; return channel.Reader; } The SignalR keeps return type of ChannelReader<StockData> open so that whatev...

Blazor 0.5.0 Interop JavaScript from C# and C# to JavaScript call

Blazor provides two-way communication from JS to C# and C# to JS which is called Interop. The version upgrade to Blazor 0.5.0 changed the approach in interactions between cshtml and JS files. The newer version simplifies JS calling by avoiding pre-registration of JS function. In this article, we would see how to call a JS method by passing multiple parameters from cshtml and parameterized call from JS to cshtml. The scenario that is used in this article has a Kendo AutoComplete to search book and populate information based on the selection. An example of a call to JS from cshtml await JSRuntime.Current.InvokeAsync<string>( "searchBook.Init", "#SearchTitle", new DotNetObjectRef(this)); Takeaways from the above example: - JSRuntime.Current give environment to execute out-process JS. - InvokeAsync is a function that would allow executing the JS function. - The searchBook.Init is a JS function call, we would see it in details in the second sec...

Architecture solution composting Repository Pattern, Unit Of Work, Dependency Injection, Factory Pattern and others

Project architecture is like garden, we plant the things in certain order and eventually they grow in similar manner. If things are planted well then they will all look(work) great and easier to manage. If they grow as cumbersome it would difficult to maintain and with time more problems would be happening in maintenance. There is no any fixed or known approach to decide project architecture and specially with Agile Methodology. In Agile Methodology, we cannot predict how our end products will look like similarly we cannot say a certain architecture will fit well for entire development lifespan for project. So, the best thing is to modify the architecture as per our application growth. I understand that it sounds good but will be far more problematic with actual development. If it is left as it is then more problems will arise with time. Just think about moving plant vs a full grown tree. Coming to technical side, In this article, I will be explaining about the various techniques ...

A wrapper implementation for Kendo Grid usage

A wrapper implementation for any heavily used item is always a good practice. Whatever is not written by us and used at a lot of places should be wrapped within specific functionality to keep it future proof and easily changeable. This also encourages DRY principle to keep our common setting at a central place. Kendo UI items are enormous in configuration, one of an issue I find people keep repeating codes for Kendo Grid configuration. They have built very flexible system to have any configuration, but in most of the cases, we do not need all of those complicated configuration. We would try to see a simpler configuration of same. The actual core implementation is bit complex, but we do not have to bother about it once done since the focus is just on usage only. I recommend doing this practice for as simple as jQuery events, form handling or as simple as any notification system. This just won't make things simple but makes codes much more manageable, easy understand, read or open f...
