Plugin for System.Diagnostics.Trace

Logify Alert provides you with a plugin that allows integrating with System.Diagnostics.Trace.

Install the Plugin

To add the plugin to the application's code, follow the steps below.

1. Select Tools | NuGet Package Manager | Package Manager Console from the Visual Studio main menu.

2. Execute the command below.

   WinForms applications: Install-Package Logify.Alert.Win

   Web applications: Install-Package Logify.Alert.Web

   WPF applications: Install-Package Logify.Alert.Wpf

   Console applications: Install-Package Logify.Alert.Console

Set Up the Plugin

Set up the plugin according to your target platform. The App.config example below demonstrates how to set up the plugin for a WinForms application.

<configuration>
    <system.diagnostics>
        <trace autoflush="false" indentsize="4">
            <listeners>
                <add name="LogifyAlertTraceListener" type="DevExpress.Logify.Win.LogifyAlertTraceListener, Logify.Alert.Win" />
            </listeners>
        </trace>
    </system.diagnostics>
</configuration>

Send Reports

After a plugin has been set up, use the required approach (automatic or a manual sending) to report exceptions to Logify Alert. The example below demonstrates how to perform manual error reporting to Logify Alert via System.Diagnostics.Trace.

using System.Diagnostics;
using DevExpress.Logify.Win;

try {
    LogifyAlert.Instance.ApiKey = "SPECIFY_YOUR_API_KEY_HERE";
    RunYourCode();
}
catch (Exception e) {
    Trace.TraceError("An exception occurred", e);
}

Now, each time your application traces an error via System.Diagnostics.Trace, the corresponding report is sent to Logify Alert.
