.NET makes writing log entries a breeze within your applications, however, that is where the out-of-the-box simplicity ends. You have decorated your code with all of these pretty log messages that are designed to make your life easier, but then what? Have you actually reviewed them? Something bad happened, did it tell you? What about confidential information, have you limited that from being logged?

This demo-packed session is designed to help take your logging from *implemented* to *usable*. Logging is great, but there are many questions to be answered, including where you store the logs, how you get notifications etc. We explore these concepts with detailed examples.

By the end of this session you will have learned:
- Where to log entries to and flexible configurations
- Monitoring and escalation of log entries
- Integration with logging & external assemblies
- Configuration & build systems with logging
