Integrating with WorkerServices

For the working sample, please look here.

Whenever you are trying to integrate Rollbar.NET SDK into an existing WorkerService application, the most optimal way is to do it via our Rollbar.NetPlatformExtensions component:

dotnet add package Rollbar.NetPlatformExtensions

Then, configure the Rollbar Notifier within your WorkerService's appsettings.json file, for example:

{
  "Logging": {
    "LogLevel": {
      "Default": "Information",
      "Microsoft": "Warning",
      "Microsoft.Hosting.Lifetime": "Information"
    }
  },

  "Rollbar": {
    "AccessToken": "17965fa5041749b6bf7095a190001ded",
    "Environment": "RollbarNetSamples",
    "Enabled": true,
    "MaxReportsPerMinute": 160,
    "ReportingQueueDepth": 120,
    "LogLevel": "Info",
    "ScrubFields": [
      "ThePassword",
      "TheSecret"
    ],
    "Person": {
      "UserName": "jbond",
      "id": "007"
    },
    "PersonDataCollectionPolicies": "Username, Email",
    "IpAddressCollectionPolicy": "CollectAnonymized"
  },

  "RollbarTelemetry": {
    "TelemetryEnabled": true,
    "TelemetryQueueDepth": 100,
    "TelemetryAutoCollectionTypes": "Network, Log, Error",
    "TelemetryAutoCollectionInterval": "00:00:00.3000000"
  }
  
}

Now, modify your Program.cs's CreateHostBuilder(...) methods by adding the RollbarLoggerProvider to its logging configuration, for example, like this:

using System;
using System.Collections.Generic;
using System.Linq;
using System.Threading.Tasks;
using Microsoft.Extensions.DependencyInjection;
using Microsoft.Extensions.Hosting;
using Microsoft.Extensions.Logging;
using Rollbar.NetPlatformExtensions;

namespace Sample.NetCore.WorkerService
{
    public class Program
    {
        public static void Main(string[] args)
        {
            CreateHostBuilder(args).Build().Run();
        }

        public static IHostBuilder CreateHostBuilder(string[] args) =>
            Host.CreateDefaultBuilder(args)
                .ConfigureLogging((logging) => { 
                    logging.ClearProviders();
                    logging.AddProvider(new RollbarLoggerProvider());
                    })
                .ConfigureServices((hostContext,services) =>
                {
                    services.AddHostedService<Worker>();
                });
    }
}

Recompile your application. From now on, anytime your codebase makes calls to an ILogger instance, the logged data will be forwarded to your Rollbar project dashboard, for example:

using System;
using System.Collections.Generic;
using System.Linq;
using System.Threading;
using System.Threading.Tasks;
using Microsoft.Extensions.Hosting;
using Microsoft.Extensions.Logging;

namespace Sample.NetCore.WorkerService
{
    public class Worker:BackgroundService
    {
        private readonly ILogger<Worker> _logger;

        public Worker(ILogger<Worker> logger)
        {
            _logger = logger;
        }

        protected override async Task ExecuteAsync(
          CancellationToken stoppingToken
        	)
        {
            while(!stoppingToken.IsCancellationRequested)
            {
                _logger.LogInformation(
                  "Worker running at: {time}",
                  DateTimeOffset.Now
                  );
              
                await Task.Delay(1000,stoppingToken);
            }
        }
    }
}
