Unexpected behaviour of ILoggerFactory in EF Core












0















I need to add a logger for a specifc dbContext. For example I have the next code:



var dbContextOptionsBuilder1 = new DbContextOptionsBuilder();
dbContextOptionsBuilder1.UseSqlServer("Data Source=localhost;Initial Catalog=DataBase;Integrated Security=True");
var dbContext1 = new DbContext(dbContextOptionsBuilder1.Options);
var loggerFactory1 = dbContext1.GetService<ILoggerFactory>();
loggerFactory1.AddProvider(new CustomLoggerProvider());

var dbContextOptionsBuilder2 = new DbContextOptionsBuilder();
dbContextOptionsBuilder2.UseSqlServer("Data Source=localhost;Initial Catalog=DataBase;Integrated Security=True");
var dbContext2 = new DbContext(dbContextOptionsBuilder2.Options);
var loggerFactory2 = dbContext2.GetService<ILoggerFactory>();


If I expand non-public members of loggerFactory1 I will see my CustomLoggerProvider that I added (_providerRegistrations = Count = 1). But If I expand non-public members of loggerFactory2 I will see the same CustomLoggerProvider (_providerRegistrations = Count = 1) although I didn't add it to dbContext2.



Also I got another unexpected behaviour in the next code:



public class MyDbContext : DbContext
{
private readonly IDbService dbService;
public MyDbContext(IDbService dbService, DbContextOptions options) : base(options)
{

}

protected override void OnModelCreating(ModelBuilder modelBuilder)
{

}
}

var dbContextOptionsBuilder1 = new DbContextOptionsBuilder();
dbContextOptionsBuilder1.UseSqlServer("Data Source=localhost;Initial Catalog=DataBase;Integrated Security=True");
var dbContext1 = new DbContext(dbContextOptionsBuilder1.Options);
var loggerFactory1 = dbContext1.GetService<ILoggerFactory>();
loggerFactory1.AddProvider(new CustomLoggerProvider());

var dbContextOptionsBuilder2 = new DbContextOptionsBuilder();
dbContextOptionsBuilder2.UseSqlServer("Data Source=localhost;Initial Catalog=DataBase;Integrated Security=True");
var dbContext2 = new DbContext(dbContextOptionsBuilder2.Options);
var loggerFactory2 = dbContext2.GetService<ILoggerFactory>();

var dbContextOptionsBuilder3 = new DbContextOptionsBuilder();
dbContextOptionsBuilder3.UseSqlServer("Data Source=localhost;Initial Catalog=DataBase;Integrated Security=True");
var dbContext3 = new MyDbContext(new DbService(), dbContextOptionsBuilder3.Options);
var loggerFactory3 = dbContext3.GetService<ILoggerFactory>();
loggerFactory3.AddProvider(new CustomLoggerProvider());

var dbContextOptionsBuilder4 = new DbContextOptionsBuilder();
dbContextOptionsBuilder4.UseSqlServer("Data Source=localhost;Initial Catalog=DataBase;Integrated Security=True");
var dbContext4 = new MyDbContext(new DbService(), dbContextOptionsBuilder4.Options);
var loggerFactory4 = dbContext4.GetService<ILoggerFactory>();


In this case I got 1 CustomLoggerProvider in dbContext3 (_providerRegistrations = Count = 1) and the same logger in dbContext4 (_providerRegistrations = Count = 1). So there is no relationship between dbContext1, dbContext2 and dbContext3, dbContext4.
So if I add one more CustomLoggerProvider to dbContext1 I will get the next result:



dbContext1: 2 CustomLoggerProvider (_providerRegistrations = Count = 2)
dbContext2: 2 CustomLoggerProvider (_providerRegistrations = Count = 2)
dbContext3: 1 CustomLoggerProvider (_providerRegistrations = Count = 1)
dbContext4: 1 CustomLoggerProvider (_providerRegistrations = Count = 1)

    It will all make sense if you read this. The logger factory is a singleton (that is, if you initialized it as recommended).

  • See EF Core documentation - Logging. It explicitly states that ILoggerFactory is singleton and contains a warning "It is very important that applications do not create a new ILoggerFactory instance for each context instance. Doing so will result in a memory leak and poor performance.". In other words, logging per db context is not supported.
