Intro To Elmah.Io for Logging in .NET 8 and Blazor Web Apps

[@TheSjoerd]

Great one Tim, thanks👍

[@IAmTimCorey]

You are welcome.

[@ThomasArdal]

Thank you so much for sharing, Tim. Just a quick comment. You can actually configure Elmah.Io.Blazor.Wasm using a similar approach to Elmah.Io.AspNetCore. You can even re-use the entire configuration section like this: builder.Services.Configure(builder.Configuration.GetSection("ElmahIo")); builder.Logging.AddElmahIo(options => { }); You still need to provide options for the AddElmahIo method. I think we will remove that requirement in a future stable version of the Elmah.Io.Blazor.Wasm package so that you can just call AddElmahIo() when the options are already set up in appsettings. We also want to improve the documentation on this, since I can see how this is not currently clear.

Thanks for sharing!

[@Gordack]

Hi tim. I was wondering what would you choose for logging ? Serilog or Elmah ? Thank you

[@IAmTimCorey]

I use Serilog to log to Elmah.io.

[@Comphonia]

.NET focused and a beginner friendly UI is definitely a plus -- but the pricing isn't, unless I'm reading it wrong. $19/mo. for only 1k messages is a bit steep for less than 50MB of data! Azure logs or Datadog would charge less than a dollar

[@IAmTimCorey]

Think of that as more of an extended trial tier rather than a production-level tier.

Elmah is quite old. Since. Net framework

[@IAmTimCorey]

This isn’t Elmah, though.

[@rikudouensof]

I don’t care whom you are. Let’s not push message.

[@IAmTimCorey]

I do not understand what you mean.

[@AthanSousouris]

@@IAmTimCorey it means that I do not want Notifications pushed to my phone. I now realize it was not you, it was KZbin. I have unsubscribed from your channel.

[@IAmTimCorey]

Yep, that's a KZbin thing. Also, you can be subscribed to a channel and not get the push notifications. When you subscribe, there is a little bell icon. When you select that, you can choose how you want to be notified (or not notified).
