How to install

Install the Nuget Package:

Install-Package Moesif.Middleware

Jump to installation for your specific framework:

Net Core installation

The below installation is intended for .NET 5 or .NET Core 2.1 and higher. For .NET Framework, go to .NET Framework installation.

In Startup.cs file in your project directory, please add app.UseMiddleware<MoesifMiddleware>(moesifOptions); to the pipeline.

To collect the most context, it is recommended to add the middleware after other middleware such as SessionMiddleware and AuthenticationMiddleware.

Add the middleware to your application:

using Moesif.Middleware;

public class Startup {

    // moesifOptions is an object of type Dictionary<string, object> which holds configuration options for your application.
    Dictionary<string, object> moesifOptions = new Dictionary<string, object>
    {
        {"ApplicationId", "Your Moesif Application Id"},
        {"LogBody", true},
        ...
        # For other options see below.
    };

    
    public void ConfigureServices(IServiceCollection services)
    {
        services.AddMvc();
    }

    public void Configure(IApplicationBuilder app, IHostingEnvironment env)
    {

        app.UseMiddleware<MoesifMiddleware>(moesifOptions);
        app.UseMvc();
    }
}

Your Moesif Application Id can be found in the Moesif Portal. After signing up for a Moesif account, your Moesif Application Id will be displayed during the onboarding steps.

You can always find your Moesif Application Id at any time by logging into the Moesif Portal, click on the top-right menu, and then clicking Installation.

.NET Core example

Checkout the examples using .NET Core 2.0 and .NET Core 3.0

.NET Core options

ApplicationId

(required), string, is obtained via your Moesif Account, this is required.

Skip

(optional) (HttpRequest, HttpResponse) => boolean, a function that takes a request and a response, and returns true if you want to skip this particular event.

IdentifyUser

(optional) (HttpRequest, HttpResponse) => string, a function that takes a request and a response, and returns a string that is the user id used by your system. While Moesif identify users automatically, if your set up is very different from the standard implementations, it would be helpful to provide this function.

IdentifyCompany

(optional) (HttpRequest, HttpResponse) => string, a function that takes a request and a response, and returns a string that is the company id for this event.

GetSessionToken

(optional) (HttpRequest, HttpResponse) => string, a function that takes a request and a response, and returns a string that is the session token for this event. Again, Moesif tries to get the session token automatically, but if you setup is very different from standard, this function will be very help for tying events together, and help you replay the events.

GetMetadata

(optional) (HttpRequest, HttpResponse) => dictionary, getMetadata is a function that returns an object that allows you to add custom metadata that will be associated with the event. The metadata must be a dictionary that can be converted to JSON. For example, you may want to save a VM instance_id, a trace_id, or a tenant_id with the request.

MaskEventModel

(optional) (EventModel) => EventModel, a function that takes an EventModel and returns an EventModel with desired data removed. Use this if you prefer to write your own mask function. The return value must be a valid EventModel required by Moesif data ingestion API. For details regarding EventModel please see the Moesif CSharp API Documentation.

public static Func<EventModel, EventModel> MaskEventModel = (EventModel moesifEvent) =>
{
    Dictionary<String, String> eventRequestHeaders = moesifEvent.Request.Headers;
    bool keyExists = eventRequestHeaders.ContainsKey("Authorization");
    if (keyExists)
    {
        eventRequestHeaders.Remove("Authorization");
    };

    return moesifEvent;
};

ApiVersion

(optional), string, API version associated with this particular event.

LocalDebug

boolean, set to true to print internal log messages for debugging SDK integration issues.

LogBody

boolean, default true. Set to false to not log the request and response body to Moesif.

AuthorizationHeaderName

(optional), string, Request header containing a Bearer or Basic token to extract user id. Also, supports a comma-separated string. We will check headers in order like “X-Api-Key,Authorization”.

AuthorizationUserIdField

(optional), string, Field name in JWT/OpenId token’s payload for identifying users. Only applicable if authorization_header_name is set and is a Bearer token.

Capture_Outgoing_Requests

(optional), Set to capture all outgoing API calls from your app to third parties like Stripe or to your own dependencies while using System.Net.Http package. The options below is applied to outgoing API calls. When the request is outgoing, for options functions that take request and response as input arguments, the request and response objects passed in are HttpRequestMessage request and HttpResponseMessage response objects.

How to configure your application to start capturing outgoing API calls.

using System.Net.Http;
using Moesif.Middleware.Helpers;

// moesifOptions is an object of type Dictionary<string, object> which holds configuration options for your application.
MoesifCaptureOutgoingRequestHandler handler = new MoesifCaptureOutgoingRequestHandler(new HttpClientHandler(), moesifOptions);
HttpClient client = new HttpClient(handler);

GetMetadataOutgoing

(optional) (HttpRequestMessage, HttpResponseMessage) => dictionary, getMetadata is a function that returns an object that allows you to add custom metadata that will be associated with the event. The metadata must be a dictionary that can be converted to JSON. For example, you may want to save a VM instance_id, a trace_id, or a tenant_id with the request.

GetSessionTokenOutgoing

(optional) (HttpRequestMessage, HttpResponseMessage) => string, a function that takes a HttpRequestMessage and a HttpResponseMessage, and returns a string that is the session token for this event. Again, Moesif tries to get the session token automatically, but if you setup is very different from standard, this function will be very help for tying events together, and help you replay the events.

IdentifyUserOutgoing

(optional) (HttpRequestMessage, HttpResponseMessage) => string, a function that takes a HttpRequestMessage and a HttpResponseMessage, and returns a string that is the user id used by your system.

NET Framework installation

The below installation is intended for .NET Framework 4.5 and higher. For .NET 5 or .NET 2.1 and higher, go to .Net Core / .NET 5 installation.

In Startup.cs file in your project directory, please add app.Use<MoesifMiddleware>(moesifOptions); to the pipeline.

To collect the most context, it is recommended to add the middleware after other middleware such as SessionMiddleware and AuthenticationMiddleware.

If your app uses Windows Communication Foundation (WCF), set DisableStreamOverride to true

Add the middleware to your application:

using Moesif.Middleware;

public class Startup {
    
    // moesifOptions is an object of type Dictionary<string, object> which holds configuration options for your application.
    Dictionary<string, object> moesifOptions = new Dictionary<string, object>
    {
        {"ApplicationId", "Your Moesif Application Id"},
        {"LogBody", true},
        ...
        # For other options see below.
    };

    public void Configuration(IAppBuilder app)
    {
        app.Use<MoesifMiddleware>(moesifOptions);
    }
}

Your Moesif Application Id can be found in the Moesif Portal. After signing up for a Moesif account, your Moesif Application Id will be displayed during the onboarding steps.

You can always find your Moesif Application Id at any time by logging into the Moesif Portal, click on the top-right menu, and then clicking Installation.

Add OWIN dependencies

IIS integrated pipeline

If you’re running your .NET app on IIS (or Visual Studio IIS Express) using integrated mode (most common), you will have to install the OWIN SystemWeb package if not done so already: Review OWIN Middleware in the IIS integrated pipeline for more info.

Install-Package Microsoft.Owin.Host.SystemWeb

Moesif does not support IIS running in Classic mode (Backwards compatibility for IIS 6.0). Unless your app predates IIS 6.0 and requires classic mode, you should switch to integrated mode.

Self-Host executable

While uncommon, if your application is a self-hosted executable that does not run on IIS, you may have to install the SelfHost package if not done so already:

For .NET Web API applications:

Install-Package Microsoft.AspNet.WebApi.OwinSelfHost

For all other .NET applications:

Install-Package Microsoft.Owin.SelfHost -Pre

Troubleshooting

Issue reading request body in WCF

Certain serializers for Windows Communication Foundation (WCF) may not correctly bind the request body when using logging middleware like Moesif. If your app uses Windows Communication Foundation (WCF), you may find that your business logic has errors accessing the request body such as for POST and PUT requests.

To fix, set the option DisableStreamOverride to true like so:

Dictionary<string, object> moesifOptions = new Dictionary<string, object>
{
    {"ApplicationId", "Your Moesif Application Id"},
    {"DisableStreamOverride", true},
};

Traditional monolith website broken

Some monolith apps which contain both a website and an API in the same app may issues when API logging middleware is enabled. This is usually due to interactions with other custom middleware.

Since usually this custom middleware is enabled for the website only, the recommended fix is to enable Moesif only for your API. To do, use the MapWhen as shown below which only activates the middleware if the Path contains /api

    app.MapWhen(context => context.Request.Path.ToString().Contains("/api"), appBuilder =>
    {

        appBuilder.Use<MoesifMiddleware>(new System.Collections.Generic.Dictionary<string, object> {
            {"ApplicationId", "Your Moesif Application Id"}
        });
    });

The response body not logged

For .NET Core and .NET 5, you will need to set the following option to ensure the response body is logged: More info on this workaround.

    .ConfigureKestrel((context, options) => {
        options.AllowSynchronousIO = true;
    });

Ensuring Errors handled by ExceptionHandler are logged

To capture the API calls handled by ExceptionHandler, please ensure that the app.UseMiddleware<MoesifMiddleware>(moesifOptions); is before the app.UseExceptionHandler() in the pipeline.

How to test

  1. Manually clone the git repo
  2. From terminal/cmd navigate to the root directory of the middleware.
