Observability

CloudStorageORM includes optional observability controls under CloudStorageOptions.Observability.

Current capability on main

  • EnableLogging controls provider query/save log emission from CloudStorageORM internals.
  • EnableTracing controls ActivitySource spans created by CloudStorageORM internals.
  • EnableDiagnostics is part of the public options model and EF debug info, but there are currently no custom DiagnosticListener events emitted yet.

Defaults

All observability toggles default to true:

  • EnableLogging = true
  • EnableTracing = true
  • EnableDiagnostics = true

Configure observability

services.AddDbContext<AppDbContext>(options =>
{
    options.UseCloudStorageOrm(storage =>
    {
        storage.Provider = CloudProvider.Azure;
        storage.ContainerName = "sampleapp-container";
        storage.Azure.ConnectionString = "UseDevelopmentStorage=true";

        // Optional observability controls
        storage.Observability.EnableLogging = true;
        storage.Observability.EnableTracing = true;
        storage.Observability.EnableDiagnostics = true;

        // Reserved naming options (currently not used by runtime emission)
        storage.Observability.ActivitySourceName = "CloudStorageORM";
        storage.Observability.DiagnosticListenerName = "CloudStorageORM";
    });
});

Common profiles

Full observability (default)

storage.Observability.EnableLogging = true;
storage.Observability.EnableTracing = true;
storage.Observability.EnableDiagnostics = true;

Tracing only

storage.Observability.EnableLogging = false;
storage.Observability.EnableTracing = true;
storage.Observability.EnableDiagnostics = false;

Minimal overhead

storage.Observability.EnableLogging = false;
storage.Observability.EnableTracing = false;
storage.Observability.EnableDiagnostics = false;

Consuming logs

CloudStorageORM logs through standard ILogger infrastructure. Configure filters as usual:

builder.Logging.AddConsole();
builder.Logging.AddFilter("CloudStorageORM", LogLevel.Information);

Consuming traces

CloudStorageORM emits Activity spans from source name CloudStorageORM.

Simple listener example:

var listener = new ActivityListener
{
    ShouldListenTo = source => source.Name == "CloudStorageORM",
    Sample = static (ref ActivityCreationOptions<ActivityContext> _) => ActivitySamplingResult.AllData,
    SampleUsingParentId = static (ref ActivityCreationOptions<string> _) => ActivitySamplingResult.AllData
};

ActivitySource.AddActivityListener(listener);

OpenTelemetry pipelines can subscribe to the same source name.

Event categories

CloudStorageORM event IDs are grouped by category in CloudStorageOrmEventIds:

  • Configuration (100x)
  • Query (200x)
  • Save/persistence (300x)
  • Transactions (400x)
  • Concurrency (500x)
  • Provider I/O (600x)
  • Validation (700x)
