vmware-eventlog-stream-console

A tool, in the form of a NuGet package, that allows streaming of Windows Event Log and application logs to the console.

Overview

Many .NET legacy apps make use of the Windows Event Log for persisting errors and warnings raised at runtime. Until recently, the common wisdom for running code that references the Event Log on Cloud Foundry has been, "don't do it". In other words, refactor all of your calls to EventLog to something more cloudy, like ILogger.Log, or Console.WriteLine. Now we have a third option: just use a shim.

By installing this NuGet package to an ASP Framework 4.x app, all calls to the System.Diagnostics.EventLog.WriteEvent and System.Diagnostics.EventLog.WriteEntry static methods will instead write to console. As with all shims, this behavior will extend only to your app domain.

This shim leverages the Lib.Harmony NuGet package.
