It Works on My Machine: Logging and Metrics with .NET Core

Keep an eye on your application in production with strategic use of logging and analytical data collection. Detect and diagnose problems before they become an issue, and give confidence to the powers that be that your systems are working correctly. We'll start slow by logging to the console and explore other options available, including: Serilog, App Metrics, Application Insights, and more! Then we'll put together a Grafana dashboard that will be sure to impress everyone in your office.
