Hercules log

Location: Hercules module.

var herculesLog = new HerculesLog(new HerculesLogSettings(herculesSink, logStreamName));
var dynamicallyConfiguredLog = new HerculesLog(() => ObtainSettings());

HerculesLog converts incoming log events to Hercules events according to Hercules log event schema and then sends resulting events with an instance of IHerculesSink. Additional details on events mapping can be found in module's description on GitHub.

​

Configuration

HerculesLog is configured with HerculesLogSettings, having 2 mandatory parameters:

Ensure that provided sink instance is configured with an API key with sufficient permissions to write into selected stream.

​

Usage tips

• Prefer to use a singleton instance of IHerculesSink everywhere in the application, including HerculesLog. Sink instances involve background tasks and are therefore quite expensive.

  ​

• Reporting of lost of log events generally dependes on the nature of IHerculesSink implementation. Default implementation in vostok.hercules.client repository provides a set of counters for these purposes.
