The Loupe Agent provides a generic facility for capturing log messages, exceptions, and metrics from .NET applications. This repository is for a minimized .NET Core 1.1 version of the Loupe Agent. Until 2017 the Loupe Agent was a closed source library developed by Gibraltar Software. This is the first major step in open sourcing this library. It is supported by Gibraltar Software and is compatible with the primary Loupe Agent.

To work with .NET Core 1.1, this agent has reduced functionality compared to the primary Loupe Agent and is therefore only recommended for .NET Core 1.1 and 2.0 applications.

This agent works nearly identically to the main Loupe Agent so you can refer to the Getting Started Guide of the main Loupe documentation for how to get moving. You can also use the free Loupe Desktop viewer to view logs & analyze metrics for your application or use Loupe Cloud-Hosted to add centralized logging, alerting, and error analysis to your application.

If you want, you can even develop your own viewer from the classes exposed by Loupe.Core in this repository.

This is the repository for the Loupe Agent for .NET Core. The following deliverables live here:

• Loupe.Agent
• Loupe.Core
• Loupe.Extensions.Logging

The various projects can all be built with Visual Studio 2017 by opening src\Agent.sln.

Feel free to branch this project and contribute a pull request to the development branch. If your changes are incorporated into the master version they'll be published out to NuGet for everyone to use!
