Elmah.Io.Client

Raw client for communicating with the elmah.io API.

Usage

To start logging, create a new instance of the ElmahioAPI class:

client = ElmahioAPI.Create(apiKey);

where apiKey is your API key found on your profile page at elmah.io. Make sure to share this instance as a singleton.

Logging

Log messages either through the log method:

client.Messages.Log(logId, new Exception(), Severity.Error, "This is a bug");

or through one of the helpers:

client.Messages.Debug(logId, "A debug message");
client.Messages.Fatal(logId, exception, "This is a fatal bug");

Creating logs

Logs are containers for log messages. To create a new log for a new application, microservice or similar, use the Create method:

client.Logs.Create(new CreateLog("My log"));
