Logging

The UPS shipping provider supports logging via ILogger (other providers' support is in progress). You can pass an ILogger instance using the corresponding constructor:

public UPSProvider(UPSProviderConfiguration configuration, ILogger<UPSProvider> logger);
public UPSProvider(UPSProviderConfiguration configuration, HttpClient httpClient, ILogger<UPSProvider> logger);

Logging Levels

UPSProvider logs information at different levels:

• Error – Errors and exceptions
• Information – JSON requests and responses
• Debug – Additional details (e.g., acquiring a token)

Sensitive Data in Logs

🚨 Important: Some sensitive information is included in JSON requests and may require filtering on your side:

• UPS Account Number.
• Billings Address.
• Ship From Address.
• Ship To Address.

Consider using structured logging with a filtering mechanism, such as Serilog with Destructure.ByTransforming, to prevent sensitive data from being logged.

Using Logging Without Dependency Injection

If you are not using dependency injection, you can create an ILogger instance using LoggerFactory:

using (var loggerFactory = LoggerFactory.Create(builder =>
{
    builder.AddConsole(); // Adjust output as needed
}))
{
    var upsProviderLogger = loggerFactory.CreateLogger<UPSProvider>();
    rateManager.AddProvider(new UPSProvider(upsConfiguration, httpClient, upsProviderLogger));
    ...
}
