TicketMan.Diagnostics.AspNetCore 0.1.0

TicketMan Diagnostics SDK

Automatic crash and error reporting for .NET applications, delivered to the TicketMan Software Suite for incident creation, grouping and AI root-cause analysis.

Plug & play: install the package, set two environment variables, done. Without a configured endpoint the SDK is completely inert — zero background work, zero overhead.

Quick start

export TICKETMAN_DIAG_ENDPOINT=https://your-suite.example.com/api/diagnostics/reports
export TICKETMAN_DIAG_API_KEY=<key issued by your TicketMan Suite>

Hosted apps (ASP.NET Core, worker services):

builder.Services.AddTicketManDiagnostics();

// ASP.NET Core only — add the middleware early in the pipeline:
app.UseTicketManDiagnostics();

Console / desktop apps (no DI host):

using IDiagnosticsSession session = TicketManDiagnostics.Init();
// optional manual capture:
session.Client.CaptureException(ex);

In WPF/WinForms call Init() on the UI thread (e.g. the App constructor) so UI-thread exception channels are hooked. See docs/desktop-integration.md.

What it does

• Captures automatically: process-fatal unhandled exceptions (crash reports are spooled to disk before the process dies and delivered on the next start), unobserved task exceptions, exceptions logged at or above a configurable level (default Critical — failing hosted services; set TICKETMAN_DIAG_CAPTURE_LOG_LEVEL=Error to also capture exceptions your code catches and logs), WPF/WinForms UI-thread exceptions, ASP.NET Core request exceptions and configurable HTTP error status ranges (5xx by default).
• Collects: application identity (name/version/build/commit/environment), full exception chain + stable cross-language fingerprint, OS/runtime/process/memory/container/Kubernetes metadata, W3C trace correlation, recent ILogger breadcrumbs, and — opt-in only — request bodies and user identity. Optional minidump on crash (TICKETMAN_DIAG_ENABLE_DUMPS).
• Protects: an always-on masking pipeline redacts passwords, tokens, API keys, authorization headers, cookies, connection strings and JWTs before anything touches disk or network. Masking cannot be disabled.
• Never hurts the app: every entry point is fail-safe (the SDK never throws into the host), capture is non-blocking, delivery is a background queue with retry/backoff, a file spool (size-capped, oldest-first eviction) survives offline periods and crashes, and per-fingerprint rate limiting keeps crash loops from flooding anything.

Configuration

Environment variables only — see docs/configuration.md for the full reference. The essentials:

Documentation

• Configuration reference
• What data is collected — per-field, with opt-in status
• Wire contract v1 — the language-agnostic ingest contract
• Desktop integration notes
• Troubleshooting
• Samples — console, worker, ASP.NET Core minimal API, WPF

Development

dotnet build            # build everything (Windows needed for the WPF sample)
dotnet test             # 110+ tests incl. process crash-restart integration
dotnet run -c Release --project benchmarks/TicketMan.Diagnostics.Benchmarks

Releases: push a v* tag — CI builds, tests, packs and publishes to nuget.org (requires the NUGET_API_KEY repository secret).
