Cerbi.GovernanceAnalyzer

Universal Roslyn analyzer for compile-time log governance. Validates {Placeholder} message template fields against governance profiles for all major .NET logging frameworks:

  • ✅ Microsoft.Extensions.Logging (ILogger)
  • ✅ Serilog (ILogger, static Log)
  • ✅ NLog (ILogger, Logger)

Why?

CerbiShield enforces log governance at runtime. This analyzer catches violations at compile time — before code even ships. Missing required fields, forbidden PII fields, type mismatches, and invalid enum values are flagged as build warnings/errors.

Installation

dotnet add package Cerbi.GovernanceAnalyzer

Setup

  1. Add the NuGet package to your project
  2. Create a cerbi_governance.json file in your project root
  3. Reference it as an AdditionalFile in your .csproj:
<ItemGroup>
  <AdditionalFiles Include="cerbi_governance.json" />
</ItemGroup>

Governance Profile Example

{
  "name": "PII-Protection",
  "appName": "payment-service",
  "requiredFields": ["userId", "correlationId"],
  "disallowedFields": ["ssn", "creditCardNumber"],
  "fieldSeverities": {
    "userId": "Error",
    "ssn": "Forbidden",
    "debugInfo": "Warn"
  },
  "fieldTypes": {
    "userId": "String",
    "correlationId": "Guid",
    "retryCount": "Int"
  },
  "enums": {
    "environment": ["dev", "test", "staging", "production"]
  },
  "allowRelax": false
}

Diagnostics

ID Title Severity Description
CERBI000 No profile loaded Info No cerbi_governance.json found in AdditionalFiles
CERBI001 Missing required field Error A required field is not in the message template
CERBI002 Forbidden field Error A disallowed field appears in the message template
CERBI003 Advisory field Warning A field has advisory-level severity
CERBI004 Invalid field type Warning Argument type doesn't match expected type
CERBI005 Invalid enum value Warning String value not in allowed enum list

How It Works

The analyzer runs inside the C# compiler (Roslyn). It:

  1. Loads cerbi_governance.json from AdditionalFiles at compilation start
  2. Intercepts every logging method invocation (LogInformation, Warning, Info, etc.)
  3. Detects the logging framework via semantic model type checking
  4. Extracts {Placeholder} field names from message templates
  5. Validates fields against the governance profile rules
  6. Reports diagnostics as compiler warnings/errors

Zero runtime overhead — all analysis happens at build time only.
