How to Add User Tag

Hi,

I am using Log4Net + Raygun and XML to log message and send email. Here is the appender block in my XML:

In my start up code, I read a configuration setting key, basically to retrieve the name of the site (DEV/TEST/PROD) where the messages come from

if (ConfigurationManager.AppSettings["RaygunTags"] != null) { log4net.GlobalContext.Properties[RaygunAppender.PropertyKeys.Tags] = ConfigurationManager.AppSettings["RaygunTags"]; }

I am trying to add user tag, so that from the RayRun site, I can generate an error report based on user name.

How do I do it?

Thanks.

Hi David,

With Raygun4Net, to send a list of tags, or a dictionary of data, you can do this either when manually sending an exception (use one of the Send method overloads that takes tags and custom data), OR attach an event handler to the SendingMessage event of a RaygunClient instance, and then set the e.Message.Details.Tags property there. The SendingMessage event gets called whenever Raygun4Net is about to serialize and send an exception.

To send user information, you can set the User (string) or UserInfo (RaygunIdentifierMessage) property on the RaygunClient instance you are using to send exceptions. e.g:

_raygunClient.UserInfo = new RaygunIdentifierMessage("jason@mindscape.com")
{
  IsAnonymous = false,
  FullName = "Jason Fauchelle",
  FirstName = "Jason"
};

Once set, this information will be sent with all exceptions sent to Raygun.

More information about these features can be found in the documentation: https://raygun.io/docs/languages/net

Please let me know if you have further questions about this.
