This commit adds a logger implementation, TraceLogger, that writes agent logs to a TraceSource with name "Elastic.Apm". This logger is configured as the default logger for ASP.NET Full Framework applications, which can use configuration to write log messages to file, debug window, Windows event log, etc. Add a section to docs with an example of how to configure the logger in web.config. Move the default log level from ConsoleLogger into DefaultValues. Closes elastic#1263

A hook is provided in the ASP.NET Full Framework HTTP module to allow users to implement an
IApmLoggerto integrate with their own logging framework. When no logger implementation is provided, the integration uses aConsoleLoggerto write APM agent logs which writes toConsole.Out. For an ASP.NET application running in IIS,Console.Outis a null stream, such that logs are not captured.A default
IApmLoggerfor ASP.NET Full Framework that usesSystem.Diagnostics.Tracewould allow a user to configure aTraceListenerin web.config to capture APM agent logs, without needing to implement anIApmLogger; a user may still want to implement anIApmLoggerfor better integration with their logging framework of choice, but the default logger implementation would at least allow capturing of agent logs, with some configuration file changes.System.Diagnostics.Traceis dependent on theTRACEcompiler constant, which is specified by default for bothDebugandReleasebuild configurations.The text was updated successfully, but these errors were encountered:
