How do I set the AuditLog.CustomData field?

Question

I'm using aspnet boilerplate and I've successfully trimmed down exactly which methods are/are not logged, by using the [DisableAuditing] and [Audited] attributes. So that part is working great, and I'm satisfied with my logging levels. However, I don't understand how to effectively use the CustomData field. I'd like to use this field to save certain additional data that is not captured by default, but I don't understand how to set it, or where. Thanks in advance for any advice.

Answer 1

You can subclass AuditingStore and set CustomData to your data:

public class MyAuditingStore : AuditingStore
{
    public MyAuditingStore(IRepository<AuditLog, long> auditLogRepository)
        : base(auditLogRepository)
    {
    }

    public override Task SaveAsync(AuditInfo auditInfo)
    {
        auditInfo.CustomData = "certain additional data that is not captured by default";
        return base.SaveAsync(auditInfo);
    }
}

Then replace IAuditingStore in your module:

// using Abp.Configuration.Startup;

public override void PreInitialize()
{
    Configuration.ReplaceService<IAuditingStore, MyAuditingStore>(DependencyLifeStyle.Transient);
}
