This article explains in detail how to register an ASP.NET exception in a Windows EventLog and display a user error page for the end user.
However, the standard event logging mechanism for an ASP.NET web application automatically includes a lot of useful information not shown in this article. The implementation of the code in the article leads to a loss of detail / detail in my Event error.
For example, when automatically catching uncaught exceptions, you can see many attributes under the headings: event information, application information, process information, request information, thread information, information about user events.
How can I implement logging of all information listed in an uncaught exception and add my user information to the "Custom event details" section? The best answer should preferably use some built-in methods System.Diagnosticsor System.Exceptionor similar, i.e. write as little code as possible to record a journal entry with all the sections mentioned above, and simply add any user data to the line.
If possible, I would also like to return the unique hash event id (example b68b3934cbb0427e9497de40663c5225below) back to the application to display on myErrorPage.aspx
An example of the required log format:
