how do I log requests and responses for debugging in servicestack

logging, servicestack

Solution

Have you seen ServiceStack's built-in Request Logger Plugin? It's a configurable In Memory, CSV or Redis Request Logger that maintains a log / (error responses) of the recent requests.

If you would like a different behaviour, you can implement and register your own IRequestLogger, it gets called for every request. It's log method gets called for every request with the following parameters.

Log(IRequest httpReq, object requestDto, object response, TimeSpan duration);

From the `IRequest` you can get the original .NET Core/ASP.NET/HttpListener Request / Response types with

var originalReq = httpReq.OriginalRequest;
var originalRes = httpReq.OriginalResponse;

Filtering the response

Otherwise the ways to introspect the Response is with either

- The Response Filter or Response Filter Attributes; or

- Overriding OnAfterExecute() on your own base class that inherits from Rest/ServiceBase
