LogPack takes snapshots of your system when unexpected errors occur. A LogPack contains more than just logs. It bundles anything that is required to solve the problem.
A LogPack basically is a zip file. However, the Visual Studio Code extension in this repository is the tool to work with those bundles. In order to package LogPacks, you need to include an SDK and upload them to a supported sink. This repository hosts the Visual Studio Code extensions. Check the supported sinks below for links to the other repositories.

- FTP
Services that provide logging as a service collect all logs and allow you to search and filter using keywords or specific log files. In production however, we would like to collect as less logs as possible to limit the price for the services. Furthermore, we ran into issues where environment variables were not correctly set in the production or staging environment and had issues with different versions of NuGet packages. Analyzing such issues took us a lot of time which is why we came up with the idea of LogPack. Whenever an unexpected issue happens, collect everything related to this issue and store it packaged as a zip file on an FTP server. So no more logs for API calls with return code 200. But literally everything necessary to analyze failed API calls with return code 500.
Special note: LogPack is a product created while creating FeatureNinjas. We use it to analyze our server issues. If you want to have more infos on FeatureNinjas, a feature flagging service for developers, then check out https://featureninjas.com.
