Logging.ExceptionSender 4.5.0

Logging.ExceptionSender

ExceptionSenderMiddleware watches for unhandled exceptions. When found - details are saved to text files in specific folder.

ExceptionSenderTask monitors that folder and sends exception info to you by email (using MailGun.com, but you can add your own)

Written for ASP.NET Core (ASP.NET 5, ASP.NET vNext) projects.

Main features

• Exception message and stacktrace are captured;
• Last N log records captured (Logging.Memory is used);
• Captured data saved in logs subdirectory for later processing;
• Task (based on RecurrentTasks) is used for checking new exception data;
• Every single exception - one email to you;
• MailGun is used to send emails (free quota 10K emails/month), you can add new mail providers (inherit from ExceptionSenderTask);
• When new exception is caught - tries to send immediately;
• When message sucessfully sent - files are deleted from disk;
• Can send message to multiple recipients (multiple To)
