Exception Logging in ArcGIS Pro SDK

NareshNagandla

I would like to know if anyone has worked on exception logging and place all the logs in a text file. 

I created a small add-in and would like to Log the details on each function so that it will be easy for me to track the logs and fix it.

I use serilog and log to the folder where the add-in is installed.

         private void SetupLogging() {

            var addinFolder = GetAddinFolder();

            var logLocation = Path.Combine(addinFolder, "{Date}-log.txt");

            var email = new EmailConnectionInfo {

                EmailSubject = "subject,

                FromEmail = "noreply@email",

                ToEmail = "you@email",

                MailServer = "smtp.server",

                Port = 25

            };

            Log.Logger = new LoggerConfiguration()

                .WriteTo.Email(email, restrictedToMinimumLevel: LogEventLevel.Error)

                .WriteTo.RollingFile(logLocation, retainedFileCountLimit: 7)

                .MinimumLevel.Verbose()

                .CreateLogger();

        }

        public string GetAddinFolder() {

            var myDocs = Environment.GetFolderPath(Environment.SpecialFolder.MyDocuments);

            var arcGisProLocation = Path.Combine(myDocs, "ArcGIS", "AddIns", "ArcGISPro");

            var attribute = (GuidAttribute)Assembly.GetExecutingAssembly().GetCustomAttributes(typeof(GuidAttribute),

                                                                                               true)[0];

            var proAddinFolder = $"{{{attribute.Value}}}";

            var addinFolder = Path.Combine(arcGisProLocation, proAddinFolder);

            return addinFolder;

        }

I also created a feedback button in my pro addin ribbon that grabs the most current file and attaches it with their feedback message.

The project I am working on is on github, GitHub - agrc/uic-addin: An ArcGIS Pro add-in to help manage, create, and validate the UIC GIS database
