Monitoring

[varghesep]

While I'm running the application locally, I don't see any response after this line

child.Forward(command);

The sign up page returns with a 500 Internal Server Error and simply don't proceed from there.

I noticed that monitoring is integrated with the application. But I don't see any logs in the Visual Studio output window neither any logs in the BIN or OBJ folder.

Could you please let me know if I have to install any special software like Kamon and Stasd to see the logs?

I updated the HOCON to the following. I still don't see any logs in the output window:

  <akka>
    <hocon>
      <![CDATA[
        akka {
          loglevel = DEBUG
          loggers = [ "Akka.Logger.Serilog.SerilogLogger, Akka.Logger.Serilog" ]
          actor {
            autoreceive = on
            lifecycle = on
            fsm = on
          }
        }
      ]]>
    </hocon>
  </akka>

Yes, this example should cooperate with StatsD, but your issue seems to have a different reason. I'll check it out later.

I made a change in the code to dump the log to a txt file as below:

        private void ConfigureLogger(IAppBuilder app)
        {
            var logger = new LoggerConfiguration().WriteTo.File(@"c:\temp\log.txt").CreateLogger();
            Serilog.Debugging.SelfLog.Out = Console.Out;
            Serilog.Log.Logger = logger;
        }

This is what I see in the log.txt

Is this caused by the directory snapshot not existing? I'm an admin on this laptop and I was able to see another example was able to create a snapshot folder under the bin folder.

Your web app may be running using different permissions than your own, i.e. when your running your app on IIS.

The snapshot setup by default uses the local snapshot store implementation. It configures by looking for a hocon default property for 'dir' which is relative. In this case it is probably the root folder for IISEXPRESS which for me is: C:\Program Files (x86)\IIS Express. To get anywhere, I had to run VStudio as administrator to track this down. Other option is to use hocon and configure an alternate snapshot store. Even after doing this I haven't gotten everything to work right. I can create the j doe user and it displays a picture and generic content. I click create account and it creates an account. If I go to sign in and enter the jdoe email and pass it just hangs on the ask. Of course that may be that sign in once you are signed in may get ignored. Trying to figure out what all should work and what I should see and be able to do in the UI.
