Make use of Logging Levels in .NET Core and C# applications. Logging is an essential part of any application, and it helps developers to identify and troubleshoot issues in the application. Logging levels provide a way to categorize log messages based on their severity. By using logging levels, developers can filter out log messages that are not relevant to the current issue, making it easier to identify the root cause of the problem.

There are several logging levels available in .NET Core and C#, including Trace, Debug, Information, Warning, Error, and Critical. Each level represents a different severity of the log message. Trace is the lowest level, and Critical is the highest level. Developers can use these levels to categorize log messages based on their severity. For example, Trace messages can be used to log detailed information about the application's internal workings, while Critical messages can be used to log critical errors that require immediate attention.

Using logging levels can help developers to troubleshoot issues in the application quickly. By filtering out log messages that are not relevant to the current issue, developers can focus on the log messages that are critical to identifying the root cause of the problem. Additionally, logging levels can help developers to identify potential issues before they become critical. For example, if developers notice an increase in Warning log messages, they can investigate the issue and fix it before it becomes an Error or Critical issue.

// Example of using logging levels in C#
public class MyService
{
    private readonly ILogger _logger;

    public MyService(ILogger logger)
    {
        _logger = logger;
    }

    public void DoSomething()
    {
        _logger.LogInformation("Starting DoSomething method");

        // Some code here

        _logger.LogDebug("Debug information");
        _logger.LogWarning("Warning message");
        _logger.LogError("Error message");
        _logger.LogCritical("Critical error message");

        // Some more code here

        _logger.LogInformation("Ending DoSomething method");
    }
}

In the above example, the MyService class uses the ILogger interface to log messages. The constructor of the class takes an instance of ILogger as a parameter, which is injected by the .NET Core dependency injection system. The DoSomething method logs several messages using different logging levels. By using different logging levels, developers can categorize log messages based on their severity, making it easier to identify critical issues in the application.
