LoggingAgentBuilderExtensions.UseLogging Method

Definition

Adds logging to the agent pipeline, enabling detailed observability of agent operations.

public static Microsoft.Agents.AI.AIAgentBuilder UseLogging(this Microsoft.Agents.AI.AIAgentBuilder builder, Microsoft.Extensions.Logging.ILoggerFactory? loggerFactory = default, Action<Microsoft.Agents.AI.LoggingAgent>? configure = default);
static member UseLogging : Microsoft.Agents.AI.AIAgentBuilder * Microsoft.Extensions.Logging.ILoggerFactory * Action<Microsoft.Agents.AI.LoggingAgent> -> Microsoft.Agents.AI.AIAgentBuilder
<Extension()>
Public Function UseLogging (builder As AIAgentBuilder, Optional loggerFactory As ILoggerFactory = Nothing, Optional configure As Action(Of LoggingAgent) = Nothing) As AIAgentBuilder

Parameters

builder
AIAgentBuilder

The AIAgentBuilder to which logging support will be added.

loggerFactory
ILoggerFactory

An optional ILoggerFactory used to create a logger with which logging should be performed. If not supplied, a required instance will be resolved from the service provider.

configure
Action<LoggingAgent>

An optional callback that provides additional configuration of the LoggingAgent instance. This allows for fine-tuning logging behavior such as customizing JSON serialization options.

Returns

The AIAgentBuilder with logging support added, enabling method chaining.

Exceptions

builder is null.

Remarks

When the employed ILogger enables Trace, the contents of messages, options, and responses are logged. These may contain sensitive application data. Trace is disabled by default and should never be enabled in a production environment. Messages and options are not logged at other logging levels.

If the resolved or provided ILoggerFactory is NullLoggerFactory, this will be a no-op where logging will be effectively disabled. In this case, the LoggingAgent will not be added.
