Logging, tracing and metrics: instrumentation in .NET and Azure - Alex Thissen - NDC London 2023

Ever had production problems and found that you cannot debug to find the problem? Or that you need to find out where potential issues are coming from in your Azure cloud solution and you have no idea what is happening?
Your applications need to be instrumented with logging, tracing and metrics, so you can see what is going on where. In .NET logging and tracing are built into the framework. We will have a look at the differences between logging, tracing and instrumentation in general. You will learn how to use .NET to implement logging and tracing with best practices, do semantic logging, work with logging factories, trace providers. Also, you will learn how to instrument using Application Insights and add W3C compliant tracing for correlation across cloud resources in a distributed application. Finally, we will put everything together to see how your logs and traces can give a rich way to get insights into your applications and services running in the Azure cloud or container based solutions.

Your in-depth knowledge and expertise on the subject were evident, and I was particularly impressed with slide for log, trace, metric, health and audit.
Your explanations on how to efficiently implement logging and tracing in .NET, and how to leverage Azure for metrics monitoring were incredibly helpful. The practical examples and best practices you shared will undoubtedly be of great value to developers seeking to improve the reliability and performance of their applications.
I appreciate the effort and time you put into preparing and presenting this lecture. Your contribution in sharing this knowledge is invaluable to the developer community, and it certainly has a positive impact on how we build and maintain applications.
Thank you once again for your valuable insights and for making NDC London 2023 an enriching experience.
