Overloads

LogTo(Action<String>, IEnumerable<String>, LogLevel, Nullable<DbContextLoggerOptions>)

Logs all events in the specified categories using the supplied action. For example, use optionsBuilder.LogTo(Console.WriteLine, new[] { DbLoggerCategory.Infrastructure.Name }) to log all events in the DbLoggerCategory.Infrastructure category.
LogTo(Action<String>, IEnumerable<EventId>, LogLevel, Nullable<DbContextLoggerOptions>)

Logs the specified events using the supplied action. For example, use optionsBuilder.LogTo(Console.WriteLine, new[] { CoreEventId.ContextInitialized }) to log the ContextInitialized event to the console.
LogTo(Action<String>, Func<EventId,LogLevel,Boolean>, Nullable<DbContextLoggerOptions>)

Logs events filtered by a supplied custom filter delegate. The filter should return true to log a message, or false to filter it out of the log.
LogTo(Action<String>, LogLevel, Nullable<DbContextLoggerOptions>)

Logs using the supplied action. For example, use optionsBuilder.LogTo(Console.WriteLine) to log to the console.
LogTo(Func<EventId,LogLevel,Boolean>, Action<EventData>)

Logs events to a custom logger delegate filtered by a custom filter delegate. The filter should return true to log a message, or false to filter it out of the log.

Logs all events in the specified categories using the supplied action. For example, use optionsBuilder.LogTo(Console.WriteLine, new[] { DbLoggerCategory.Infrastructure.Name }) to log all events in the DbLoggerCategory.Infrastructure category.

public virtual Microsoft.EntityFrameworkCore.DbContextOptionsBuilder LogTo (Action<string> action, System.Collections.Generic.IEnumerable<string> categories, Microsoft.Extensions.Logging.LogLevel minimumLevel = Microsoft.Extensions.Logging.LogLevel.Debug, Microsoft.EntityFrameworkCore.Diagnostics.DbContextLoggerOptions? options = default);
abstract member LogTo : Action<string> * seq<string> * Microsoft.Extensions.Logging.LogLevel * Nullable<Microsoft.EntityFrameworkCore.Diagnostics.DbContextLoggerOptions> -> Microsoft.EntityFrameworkCore.DbContextOptionsBuilder
override this.LogTo : Action<string> * seq<string> * Microsoft.Extensions.Logging.LogLevel * Nullable<Microsoft.EntityFrameworkCore.Diagnostics.DbContextLoggerOptions> -> Microsoft.EntityFrameworkCore.DbContextOptionsBuilder
Public Overridable Function LogTo (action As Action(Of String), categories As IEnumerable(Of String), Optional minimumLevel As LogLevel = Microsoft.Extensions.Logging.LogLevel.Debug, Optional options As Nullable(Of DbContextLoggerOptions) = Nothing) As DbContextOptionsBuilder

Parameters

action
Action<String>

Delegate called when there is a message to log.

categories
IEnumerable<String>

The DbLoggerCategory of each event to log.

minimumLevel
LogLevel

The minimum level of logging event to log. Defaults to Debug

options
Nullable<DbContextLoggerOptions>

Formatting options for log messages. Passing null (the default) means use DefaultWithLocalTime

Returns

DbContextOptionsBuilder

The same builder instance so that multiple calls can be chained.

Remarks

Use the LogTo(Action<String>, LogLevel, Nullable<DbContextLoggerOptions>) overload for default logging of all events. Use the LogTo(Action<String>, IEnumerable<EventId>, LogLevel, Nullable<DbContextLoggerOptions>) overload to log only specific events. Use the LogTo(Action<String>, Func<EventId,LogLevel,Boolean>, Nullable<DbContextLoggerOptions>) overload to use a custom filter for events. Use the LogTo(Func<EventId,LogLevel,Boolean>, Action<EventData>) overload to log to a fully custom logger.
