+# Getting Started with OpenTelemetry .NET Logs in 5 Minutes - ASP.NET Core Application
+
+First, download and install the [.NET
+SDK](https://dotnet.microsoft.com/download) on your computer.
+
+Create a new web application:
+
+```sh
+dotnet new web -o aspnetcoreapp
+cd aspnetcoreapp
+```
+
+Install the
+[OpenTelemetry.Exporter.Console](../../../src/OpenTelemetry.Exporter.Console/README.md)
+and
+[OpenTelemetry.Extensions.Hosting](../../../src/OpenTelemetry.Extensions.Hosting/README.md)
+packages:
+
+```sh
+dotnet add package OpenTelemetry.Exporter.Console
+dotnet add package OpenTelemetry.Extensions.Hosting
+```
+
+Update the `Program.cs` file with the code from [Program.cs](./Program.cs).
+
+Run the application (using `dotnet run`) and then browse to the URL shown in the
+console for your application (e.g. `http://localhost:5000`). You should see the
+logs output from the console:
+
+```text
+LogRecord.Timestamp: 2023-09-06T22:59:17.9787564Z
+LogRecord.CategoryName: getting-started-aspnetcore
+LogRecord.Severity: Info
+LogRecord.SeverityText: Information
+LogRecord.Body: Starting the app...
+LogRecord.Attributes (Key:Value):
+ OriginalFormat (a.k.a Body): Starting the app...
+LogRecord.EventId: 1
+LogRecord.EventName: StartingApp
+
+...
+
+LogRecord.Timestamp: 2023-09-06T22:59:18.0644378Z
+LogRecord.CategoryName: Microsoft.Hosting.Lifetime

+LogRecord.Attributes (Key:Value):

+

+

+LogRecord.SpanId: c51be9f19c598b69
+LogRecord.TraceFlags: None
+LogRecord.CategoryName: Program
+LogRecord.Severity: Info
+LogRecord.SeverityText: Information
+LogRecord.Body: Food `{name}` price changed to `{price}`.
+LogRecord.Attributes (Key:Value):
+ name: artichoke
+ price: 9.99
+ OriginalFormat (a.k.a Body): Food `{name}` price changed to `{price}`.
+LogRecord.EventId: 2
+LogRecord.EventName: FoodPriceChanged
+
+...
+```
+
+Congratulations! You are now collecting logs using OpenTelemetry.
+
+What does the above program do?
+
+The program has cleared the default [logging
+providers](https://learn.microsoft.com/dotnet/core/extensions/logging-providers)
+then added OpenTelemetry as a logging provider to the ASP.NET Core logging
+pipeline. OpenTelemetry SDK is then configured with a
+[ConsoleExporter](../../../src/OpenTelemetry.Exporter.Console/README.md) to
+export the logs to the console for demonstration purpose (note: ConsoleExporter
+is not intended for production usage, other exporters such as [OTLP
+Exporter](../../../src/OpenTelemetry.Exporter.OpenTelemetryProtocol/README.md)
+should be used instead). In addition, `OpenTelemetryLoggerOptions.IncludeScopes`
+is enabled so the logs will include the [log
+scopes](https://learn.microsoft.com/dotnet/core/extensions/logging#log-scopes).
+From the console output we can see the log scopes that are coming from the
+ASP.NET Core framework, and we can see logs from both our logger and the ASP.NET
+Core framework loggers, as indicated by the `LogRecord.CategoryName`.
+
+The example has demonstrated the best practice from ASP.NET Core by injecting
+generic `ILogger`:
+
+```csharp
+app.MapGet("/", (ILogger logger) =>
+{
+ logger.FoodPriceChanged("artichoke", 9.99);
+
+ return "Hello from OpenTelemetry Logs!";
+});
+```
+
+Following the .NET logging best practice, [compile-time logging source
+generation](https://docs.microsoft.com/dotnet/core/extensions/logger-message-generator)
+has been used across the example, which delivers high performance, structured
+logging, and type-checked parameters:
+
+```csharp
+public static partial class ApplicationLogs
+{
+ [LoggerMessage(EventId = 1, Level = LogLevel.Information, Message = "Starting the app...")]
+ public static partial void StartingApp(this ILogger logger);
+
+ [LoggerMessage(EventId = 2, Level = LogLevel.Information, Message = "Food `{name}` price changed to `{price}`.")]
+ public static partial void FoodPriceChanged(this ILogger logger, string name, double price);
+}
+```
+
+For logs that occur between `builder.Build()` and `app.Run()` when injecting a
+generic `ILogger` is not an option, `app.Logger` is used instead:
+
+```csharp
+app.Logger.StartingApp();
+```
