elmah-io changelog elmah.io

New

There's a new field on all log messages named Category. This may sound like a minor addition but it's actually something that is available throughout a larger part of elmah.io. The category field can be set on all log messages stored through the API. The field and value show up inside the elmah.io UI on the details:

Unless you are logging messages manually through the API or the Elmah.Io.Client package, you typically don't need to set the field. New prereleases have been published of the Elmah.Io.Extensions.Logging, Elmah.Io.NLog, Elmah.Io.Log4Net, and Serilog.Sinks.ElmahIo NuGet packages. These integrations automatically pick up the category from the logging framework and set the new field. Having a category or logger name is something common for all logging frameworks. We have adopted the name from Microsoft.Extensions.Logging which calls it Category, NLog and log4net call it LoggerName, and Serilog calls it SourceContext.

Besides being available as a field on the log message details, Category can be used from the search field, search filters, the group by dropdown, as a column on the search result, and as part of rules.

New

There's a new integration in the elmah.io App Store: PagerDuty. PagerDuty is an incident platform supporting various integrations and notification methods like phone calls, SMS/text messages, and emails. With a few mouse clicks, setting up advanced notification rules for your team is easier than ever.

Check out the PagerDuty documentation for details on how to set it up.
