Logging

Lavalink4NET uses Microsoft.Extensions.Logging for logging. This means that you can use any logging provider you want. If you already use Microsoft.Extensions.Logging in your project, you don't need to add any additional packages or configuration.

Usage​

To enable logging, you just need to register the logging service in the dependency injection container. You can do this by calling the AddLogging extension method on the IServiceCollection instance.

builder.Services.AddLogging();
note

You need to add the Microsoft.Extensions.Logging.Console package to your project to use the console logger.

If you want to receive all log messages, you can set the log level to Trace.

builder.Services.AddLogging(x => x.AddConsole().SetMinimumLevel(LogLevel.Trace));

Using other logging providers​

Most logging providers provide support for integrating with Microsoft.Extensions.Logging. Please refer to the documentation of the logging provider you want to use for more information.
