Logging with the WCF Diagnostics tracing feature
In your environment you may have multiple WCF Applications running on different servers. This means you may end up having tons of files to search. You may have different developers having enabled or tuned logging differently due to lack of governance. With Nodinite you get total control and a foundation for governance and an active documentation using our Repository Model. With Nodinite you can centralize logging and manage/share insights from logged events.
Scenario: Basic Request/Response
In this scenario we have one or more Consumers of the WCF Application.
WCF Tracing enabled
With the built-in WCF Tracing enabled the Request and the Response is caught by the framework and copied to the trace engine.
Nodinite Trace listener
When the Nodinite WCF Diagnostics tracing feature is enabled our component (DLL) will create a Json formatted Log Event and write it to the configured output folder. Eventually the Nodinite Pickup Service will consume these Log Events. This means that Nodinite will NOT waste your disk space and you do not have to setup any cleaning maintenance jobs.
Next Step
Now Add or manage Log Views and use the Log Views to view the WCF Diagnostic output.
