How does it work

It's not possible to configure the log pattern of the Microsoft.Extensions.Http based HttpClient loggers. It has to be replaced.

This package replaces the default loggers with a logger that:

  1. Reduces the number of log statements on HttpClient requests from 4 to 2
  2. Makes sure that sensitive information like api-keys or tokens in the request-Uri can be sanitized using configurable Regex patterns
  3. Also removes and replaces sensitive information like api-keys or tokens in the request- and response-headers using configurable Regex patterns (Only when the log level is set to Trace)

Change in logging output

Before:

info: Start processing HTTP request GET https://my.api.com/v1/status?apikey=my-secret-key
info: Sending HTTP request GET https://my.api.com/v1/status?apikey=my-secret-key
info: Received HTTP response headers after 188.6041ms - 200
info: End processing HTTP request after 188.8026ms - 200

After:

info: Sending HTTP request GET https://my.api.com/v1/status?apikey=xxx
info: Received HTTP response GET https://my.api.com/v1/status?apikey=xxx - 200 in 186.4883ms

Install

$ dotnet add package SanitizedHttpClientLogger

        o.BaseAddress = new Uri("https://my.api.com/v1");
    })
    .ConfigureSanitizedLogging(o =>
        // This regex pattern will match any part of a string that starts with "apikey=" (in a case-insensitive manner)
        // followed by any number of characters that are not an ampersand.    
        o.UriReplacements.Add("(?i)apikey=[^&]*", "apikey=xxx")
