Get logs through WCF (On server side via callback interface)

Wcf Diagnostics

An simple wcf service callback interface and it's implementation for accessing WCF client logs FROM SERVER (very useful when you have to understand what is happended on client side but you have security restriction to access client PC's via RDP, TeamViewer or other Tools. Interface is a very simple only 2 methods - GetLogsFiles (list of logs files) and GetLogFile by FileName. Independent from log sybsystem (could be used any: Serilog, Nlog, log4net, e.t.c.)

How to use

This example is demonstrated in Unit Test - SimpleLogsCaptureCallbackTests in which i manually start test WCF service with callback contract - ILogsCaptureCallback, starting client and getting Logs files list anf log file for specified client. Some specific (Stored clients was implemented in TestWcfService, see it):

// Create server WSDualHttpBinding binding = new WSDualHttpBinding(); binding.Name = "TestService"; binding.HostNameComparisonMode = HostNameComparisonMode.StrongWildcard; binding.Security.Mode = WSDualHttpSecurityMode.None; binding.ClientBaseAddress = new Uri(ClientBaseUri);

        ServiceHost serviceHost = new ServiceHost(typeof(TestWcfService), new Uri(ServerBaseUri));
        serviceHost.OpenTimeout = TimeSpan.FromSeconds(10);
        serviceHost.AddServiceEndpoint(typeof(ITestWcfService), binding, "testService");
        ServiceDebugBehavior debugBehavior = serviceHost.Description.Behaviors.FirstOrDefault(item => item.GetType() == typeof(ServiceDebugBehavior)) as ServiceDebugBehavior;
        if (debugBehavior != null)
            debugBehavior.IncludeExceptionDetailInFaults = true;
        //serviceHost.Description.Behaviors.Add(new ServiceDebugBehavior() { IncludeExceptionDetailInFaults = true });
        // ITestWcfService server = new TestWcfService();
        
        serviceHost.Opened += (sender, args) =>
        {
            System.Console.WriteLine("Service Host Was Opened!");
        };
        
        serviceHost.Open(TimeSpan.FromSeconds(10));
        
        WSDualHttpBinding serviceBinding = new WSDualHttpBinding(WSDualHttpSecurityMode.None);
        
        EndpointAddress endpointAddress = new EndpointAddress(TestServiceEndpointUri);
        // client channel creation
        DuplexChannelFactory<ITestWcfService> channelFactory = new DuplexChannelFactory<ITestWcfService>(new SimpleLogsCaptureCallback(@"..\..\..\TestLogs", true, new[] {"*.log"}),
                                                                                                         serviceBinding, endpointAddress);
        
        ITestWcfService client = channelFactory.CreateChannel();
        
        ITestWcfService server = new TestWcfService();

        int sessionId = client.LogIn("MyDomain", "admin", "123");

        Assert.True(sessionId < 1000);

        IDictionary<string, ILogsCaptureCallback> clients = TestWcfService.Clients;
        Assert.Equal(1, clients.Count);
        IList<LogInfo> clientLogsFiles = server.GetClientLogs(clients.First().Key);
        Assert.Equal(3, clientLogsFiles.Count);
        string logFileContent = server.GetLogFile(clients.First().Key, "actual.log");
        Assert.Equal("Current log file (actual).", logFileContent);
        bool result = client.LogOut(sessionId);
        Assert.True(result);
        serviceHost.Close();

HOWEEVER THERE is a FULL EXAMPLE with creation of client and server with inheritable Callback Contract, it could be found here: https://github.com/EvilLord666/WcfDiagnostic/tree/master/Examples/WcfDiagnosticUsageExample

Common project - WcfDiagnosticUsageExample.Common is using for setup service and callback contracts,

WcfDiagnosticUsageExample.Client - implementation of full callback contract (IAppCallback) which inherites methods of ILogsCaptureCallback, only thing you have to do is to handle own callback methods if you have it.

WcfDiagnosticUsageExample.Server - server impl with possibility to catch events on connect/disconnect

And 2 cli projects, Server.Cli should be strated before Client.Cli.
