# Correlation

`CorrelationInfo` provides a common set of correlation levels:

- Transaction Id - ID that relates different requests together into a functional transaction.
- Operation Id - Unique ID information for a single request.

## Installation

This feature requires to install our NuGet package

```shell
PM > Install-Package Arcus.Observability.Correlation
```

## What We Provide

The `Arcus.Observability.Correlation` library provides a way to get access to correlation information across your application.
What it **DOES NOT** provide is how this correlation information is initially set.

It uses the the Microsoft dependency injection mechanism to register an `ICorrelationInfoAccessor` and `ICorrelationInfoAccessor<>` implementation that is available.

**Example**

```csharp
public class Startup
{
public void ConfigureServices(IServiceCollection services)
{
// Adds operation and transaction correlation to the application,
// using the `DefaultCorrelationInfoAccessor` as `ICorrelationInfoAccessor` that stores the `CorrelationInfo` model internally.
services.AddCorrelation();
}
}
```
## Custom Correlation

We register two interfaces during the registration of the correlation: `ICorrealtionInfoAccessor` and `ICorrelationInfoAccessor<>`.
The reason is because some applications require a custom `CorrelationInfo` model, and with using the generic interface `ICorrelationInfoAccessor<>` we can support this.

**Example**

```csharp
public class OrderCorrelationInfo : CorrelationInfo
{
public string OrderId { get; }
}

public class Startup
{
public void ConfigureService(IServiceCollection services)
{
services.AddCorrelation<OrderCorrelationInfo>();
}
}
```

## Accessing Correlation Throughout the Application

When a part of the application needs access to the correlation information, you can inject one of the two interfaces:

```csharp
public class OrderService
{
public OrderService(ICorrelationInfoAccessor accessor)
{
CorrelationInfo correlationInfo = accessor.CorrelationInfo;
}
}
```

Or, alternatively when using custom correlation:

```csharp
public class OrderService
{
public OrderService(ICorrelationInfoAccessor<OrderCorrelationInfo> accessor)
{
OrderCorrelationInfo correlationInfo = accessor.CorrelationInfo;
}
}
```

## Configuration

The library also provides a way configure some correlation specific options that you can later retrieve during get/set of the correlation information in your application.

```csharp
public void ConfigureServices(IServiceCollection services)
{
services.AddCorrelation(options =>
{
// Configuration on the transaction ID (`X-Transaction-ID`) request/response header.
// ---------------------------------------------------------------------------------
// Whether the transaction ID can be specified in the request, and will be used throughout the request handling.
// The request will return early when the `.AllowInRequest` is set to `false` and the request does contain the header (default: true).
options.Transaction.AllowInRequest = true;

// Whether or not the transaction ID should be generated when there isn't any transaction ID found in the request.
// When the `.GenerateWhenNotSpecified` is set to `false` and the request doesn't contain the header, no value will be available for the transaction ID;
// otherwise a GUID will be generated (default: true).
options.Transaction.GenerateWhenNotSpecified = true;

// Whether to include the transaction ID in the response (default: true).
options.Transaction.IncludeInResponse = true;

// The header to look for in the request, and will be set in the response (default: X-Transaction-ID).
options.Transaction.HeaderName = "X-Transaction-ID";

// The function that will generate the transaction ID, when the `.GenerateWhenNotSpecified` is set to `false` and the request doesn't contain the header.
// (default: new `Guid`).
options.Transaction.GenerateId = () => $"Transaction-{Guid.NewGuid()}";

// Configuration on the operation ID (`RequestId`) response header.
// ----------------------------------------------------------------
// Whether to include the operation ID in the response (default: true).
options.Operation.IncludeInResponse = true;

// The header that will contain the operation ID in the response (default: RequestId).
options.Operation.HeaderName = "RequestId";

// The function that will generate the operation ID header value.
// (default: new `Guid`).
options.Operation.GenerateId = () => $"Operation-{Guid.NewGuid()}";
});
}
```

Later in the application, the options can be retrieved by injecting the `IOptions<CorrelationInfoOptions>` type.

### Custom Configuration

We also provide a way to provide custom configuration options when the application uses a custom correlation model.

For example, with a custom correlation model:

```csharp
public class OrderCorrelationInfo : CorrelationInfo
{
public string OrderId { get; }
}
```

We could introduce an `OrderCorrelationInfoOptions` model:

```csharp
public class OrderCorrelationInfoOptions : CorrelationInfoOptions
{
public bool IncludeOrderId { get; set; }
}
```

This custom options model can then be included when registering the correlation:

```csharp
public class Startup
{
public void ConfigureServices(IServiceCollection services)
{
services.AddCorrelation<OrderCorrelationInfo, OrderCorrelationInfoOptions>(options => options.IncludeOrderId = true);
}
}
```

# Making telemetry more powerful

## Providing contextual information

In order to make telemetry more powerful we **highly recommend providing contextual information around what the situation is of your application**. That's why every telemetry type that you can write, allows you to provide context in the form of a dictionary.

```csharp
// Provide context around event
var telemetryContext = new Dictionary<string, object>
{
{"Customer", "Arcus"},
{"OrderId", "ABC"},
};

logger.LogEvent("Order Created", telemetryContext);
// Output: "Events Order Created (Context: [Customer, Arcus], [OrderId, ABC])"
```

By doing so, you'll be able to interact more efficient with your logs by filtering, searching, ... on it.

We support this for all [telemetry types that you can write](/features/writing-different-telemetry-types).

### Seeing the power in action

Let's use an example - When measuring a metric you get an understanding of the count, in our case the number of orders received:

```csharp
logger.LogMetric("Orders Received", 133);
// Log output: "Metric Orders Received: 133 (Context: )"
```

If we output this to Azure Application Insights as a metric similar to our example:
![Single-dimension Metric](./../media/single-dimensional-metric.png)

However, you can very easily provide additional context, allowing you to get an understanding of the number of orders received and annotate it with the vendor information.

```csharp
var telemetryContext = new Dictionary<string, object>
{
{ "Customer", "Contoso"},
};

logger.LogMetric("Orders Received", 133, telemetryContext);
// Log output: "Metric Orders Received: 133 (Context: [Customer, Contoso])"
```

The outputted telemetry will contain that information and depending on the sink that you are using it's even going to be more powerful.

For example, when using Azure Application Insights your metric will evolve from a single-dimensional metric to multi-dimensional metrics allowing you to get the total number of orders, get the number of orders per vendor or filter the metric to one specific vendor.

Here we are using our multi-dimensional metric and splitting it per customer to get more detailed insights:

![Multi-dimension Metric](./../media/single-dimensional-metric.png)

# Azure Application Insights Sink

## Installation

This feature requires to install our NuGet package

```shell
PM > Install-Package Arcus.Observability.Telemetry.Serilog.Sinks.ApplicationInsights
```

## What is it?

The Azure Application Insights sink is an extension of the [official Application Insights sink]() that allows you to not only emit traces or events, but the whole Application Insights suite of telemetry types - Traces, Dependencies, Events, Requests & Metrics.

You can easily configure the sink by providing the Azure Application Insights key:

```csharp
ILogger logger = new LoggerConfiguration()
.MinimumLevel.Debug()
.WriteTo.AzureApplicationInsights("<key>")
.CreateLogger();
```

Alternatively, you can override the default minimum log level to reduce amount of telemetry being tracked :

```csharp
ILogger logger = new LoggerConfiguration()
.MinimumLevel.Debug()
.WriteTo.AzureApplicationInsights("<key>", restrictedToMinimumLevel: LogEventLevel.Warning)
.CreateLogger();
```
