The Thor tracing core for .net
The tracing core contains everything to enable ETW tracing in your .net application.
Getting Started
Install Package
Here is how the Thor.Core has to be installed via NuGet on a powershell console.
Install-Package Thor.CoreCode Example
Okay, after installing our dependencies we could start writing a bit code.
How to scope (group) events together
The following code is not production ready. This code should give only an idea of how to group ETW events into an activity.
using System;
using System.Threading;
using Thor.Core;
using static Thor.Core.DefaultEventSource;
public class UserRepository
{
...
public async Task<bool> RemoveAsync(User user)
{
using (Activity.Create("Remove User"))
{
try
{
Log.Info($"Removing user with id {user.Id}");
if (await _collection.RemoveAsync(user.Id).ConfigureAwait(false))
{
Log.Info($"Removed user with id {user.Id} successfully");
return true;
}
else
{
Log.Info($"User with id {user.Id} not found");
return false;
}
}
catch (Exception ex)
{
Log.Info(ex, $"Removing user with id {user.Id} failed");
return false;
}
}
}
...

Checkout the Thor Generator
We strongly recommend to use the Thor Generator to generate your own event sources automatically
and avoid using the DefaultEventSource, because Semantic Tracing is much more powerful for you
in the end. Click here to get more information
