Logging Telemetry

Overview

Set up structured logs and telemetry that are safe, correlated, and useful for diagnosing widget issues.

Constraints

.NET 8
Serilog for structured logging
ETW for local diagnostics
Application Insights for telemetry

Definition of done (DoD)

Serilog configured with file sink (rolling, 7-day retention)
Correlation IDs present on user-initiated actions
No PII or secrets in logs (verify before merge)
Structured properties used instead of string interpolation
Application Insights wired when connection string available
Log levels appropriate (Debug for verbose, Warning+ for production noise)

Workflow

Define log levels and categories (UI, sync, data, widgets).
Configure Serilog sinks and enrichers.
Add correlation IDs per user action or sync cycle.
Redact or hash PII before logging.
Wire Application Insights for events, traces, and exceptions.

Guidance

Do not log secrets or full payloads.
Prefer structured properties over string interpolation.
Keep noisy logs at Debug.
