Dependency injection

Dependency injection

Initialize required services



// Initializes all services and provider classes used within
// the API examples on this page using dependency injection.
private readonly IEmailService emailService;
private readonly IEventLogService eventLogService;
private readonly IEventLogInfoProvider eventLogInfoProvider;
private readonly IAuthenticatedUserAccessor authenticatedUserAccessor;
private readonly IHttpContextAccessor httpContextAccessor;

public EventLogServices(IEmailService emailService,
                IEventLogService eventLogService,
                IEventLogInfoProvider eventLogInfoProvider,
                IAuthenticatedUserAccessor authenticatedUserAccessor,
                IHttpContextAccessor httpContextAccessor)
{
    this.emailService = emailService;
    this.eventLogService = eventLogService;
    this.eventLogInfoProvider = eventLogInfoProvider;
    this.authenticatedUserAccessor = authenticatedUserAccessor;
    this.httpContextAccessor = httpContextAccessor;

Log events



// Event log operations are performed using an instance of 'IEventLogService', typically obtained using dependency injection

// In case of database outage, the system buffers all logged events in-memory until the database is available
// You do not need to buffer or check for database availability in custom code

// Logs an information event into the event log
eventLogService.LogInformation("API Example Info", "APIEXAMPLE", eventDescription: "Test information event.");

// Logs a warning event into the event log
eventLogService.LogWarning("API Example Warning", "APIEXAMPLE", eventDescription: "Test warning event.");

// Logs an error event into the event log
eventLogService.LogError("API Example Error", "APIEXAMPLE", eventDescription: "Test error event.");

// Logs an exception into the event log
eventLogService.LogException("API Example Exception", "APIEXAMPLE", new Exception(), additionalMessage: "Test exception event.");

Log events using LogEvent



// Prepares an EventLogData object that holds all information about the event being logged
EventLogData eventData = new EventLogData(EventTypeEnum.Information, "API Example", "APIEXAMPLE")
{
    EventTime = DateTime.Now,
    EventDescription = "Logging a sample event to the event log."
};

// Event log operations are performed using an instance of 'IEventLogService', typically obtained using dependency injection
// Logs the event into the event log
eventLogService.LogEvent(eventData);

Work with events (sending events by email)



// Gets all error events logged in the past day 
var errors = eventLogInfoProvider.Get()
                                .WhereEquals("EventType", EventType.ERROR)
                                .WhereGreaterThan("EventTime", DateTime.Now.Subtract(TimeSpan.FromDays(1)));

if (errors.Count > 0)
{
    // Creates the email message
    EmailMessage msg = new EmailMessage()
    {
        From = "system@localhost.local",
        Recipients = "admin@localhost.local",
        Subject = $"Xperience Errors ({errors.Count})",
        Body = "<html><body><ul>"
    };

    // Creates a list of the errors
    foreach (EventLogInfo errorEvent in errors)
    {
        msg.Body += $"<li>{errorEvent.EventType} - {errorEvent.EventCode} - {errorEvent.EventDescription}</li>";
    }

    msg.Body += "</ul></body></html>";

    // Email sending is performed using an instance of 'IEmailService', typically obtained using dependency injection
    // Sends out the email message
    emailService.SendEmail(msg);
}

Clear the event log



// Clears the event log for the current site
EventLogHelper.ClearEventLog(authenticatedUserAccessor.Get().Result.UserID, authenticatedUserAccessor.Get().Result.UserName, httpContextAccessor.HttpContext.Connection.RemoteIpAddress.ToString());
