Configuration Provider Information

Configuration Providers are the sources of configuration information. These are things such as appsetting.json files or Environment Variables.

Log Provider Type Names

This simply logs the provider types in sequence.

logger.LogProviderNames(IConfigurationRoot configRoot, LogEventLevel level)

Where:

logger is the ILogger where you want the information logged.
configRoot is the IConfigurationRoot that contains the provider information.
level is the LogEventLevel at which you wish the information to be logged.

Example output

info: Stravaig.Extensions.Configuration.Diagnostics.Tests.MultipleProviderNameTests[0]
    The following configuration providers were registered:
    Microsoft.Extensions.Configuration.Memory.MemoryConfigurationProvider
    Microsoft.Extensions.Configuration.Json.JsonConfigurationProvider
    Microsoft.Extensions.Configuration.EnvironmentVariables.EnvironmentVariablesConfigurationProvider
    Microsoft.Extensions.Configuration.CommandLine.CommandLineConfigurationProvider

Alternative calls

logger.LogProviderNamesAsInformation(IConfigurationRoot configRoot)
logger.LogProviderNamesAsDebug(IConfigurationRoot configRoot)
logger.LogProviderNamesAsVerbose(IConfigurationRoot configRoot)

These operate the same as before but the log level is indicated in the method name.

Log Providers

This logs the provider details. This can be more helpful than logging the provider type names as some providers supply additional context, such as which appsettings.<env>.json has been used.

logger.LogProviders(IConfigurationRoot configRoot, LogEventLevel logEventLevel)

Where:

logger is the ILogger where you want the information logged.
configRoot is the IConfigurationRoot that contains the provider information.
level is the LogEventLevel at which you wish the information to be logged.

Example output

info: Stravaig.Extensions.Configuration.Diagnostics.Tests.MultipleProvidersTests[0]
    The following configuration providers were registered:
    MemoryConfigurationProvider
    JsonConfigurationProvider for 'appsettings.json' (Optional)
    JsonConfigurationProvider for 'appsettings.test.json' (Optional)
    EnvironmentVariablesConfigurationProvider
    CommandLineConfigurationProvider

Alternative calls

logger.LogProvidersAsInformation(IConfigurationRoot configRoot)
logger.LogProvidersAsDebug(IConfigurationRoot configRoot)
logger.LogProvidersAsVerbose(IConfigurationRoot configRoot)

These operate the same as before but the log level is indicated in the method name.
