How to view HTTP commands sent by Cosmos DB SDK V3 - azure-cosmosdb

We are using OData on top of SQL SDK V3 and we want to view generated queries sent to CosmosDB. I have changed connection mode to Gateway so HTTPS connection is used and I can view dependencies in Application Insights ... but I can only see the URL and it is not clear whether it is GET or POST and no other details.
I have tried Rhino Profiler but it says SDK version is not supported.
I am sure there should be a way to view queries.

I would expect App Insights to also track the verb but the other alternative is to add the logging yourself. You can inject a handler on the pipeline and access the RequestMessage.Method property (full solution https://github.com/Azure/azure-cosmos-dotnet-v3/blob/master/Microsoft.Azure.Cosmos.Samples/Usage/Handlers/).
class LoggingHandler : RequestHandler
{
private readonly TelemetryClient telemetryClient;
public LoggingHandler()
{
this.telemetryClient = new TelemetryClient();
}
public override async Task<ResponseMessage> SendAsync(
RequestMessage request,
CancellationToken cancellationToken)
{
using (Microsoft.ApplicationInsights.Extensibility.IOperationHolder<RequestTelemetry> operation = this.telemetryClient.StartOperation<RequestTelemetry>("CosmosDBRequest"))
{
this.telemetryClient.TrackTrace($"{request.Method.Method} - {request.RequestUri.ToString()}");
ResponseMessage response = await base.SendAsync(request, cancellationToken);
operation.Telemetry.ResponseCode = ((int)response.StatusCode).ToString();
operation.Telemetry.Success = response.IsSuccessStatusCode;
this.telemetryClient.StopOperation(operation);
return response;
}
}
}

Azure App Insights - How to add Custom Property to Custom Events in App insights using serilog?

Custom Property is not found in upstream classes (middleware, api layer) after pushing it in the downstream class (infrastructure layer) like below.
public async Task<T> GetFromCacheAsync<T>(string key) where T: class
{
var stopwatch = Stopwatch.StartNew();
var cachedResponse = await _distributedCache.GetStringAsync(key);
if (string.IsNullOrEmpty(cachedResponse)) { return null; }
LogContext.PushProperty(IS_CACHED_RESPONSE, "True");
Log.Information($"Fetched the response from azure cache for redis with Cache Key: {key} in Time: {stopwatch.Elapsed}");
return JsonConvert.DeserializeObject<T>(cachedResponse);
}
App Insight Logs Where Custom property is pushed

How to retrieve JSON data from HttpContent

I'm buildin a console Web API to communicate with a localhost server, hosting computer games and highscores for them. Every time I run my code, I get this charming error:
fail:
Microsoft.AspNetCore.Diagnostics.DeveloperExceptionPageMiddleware[1]
An unhandled exception has occurred while executing the request.
System.NotSupportedException: Deserialization of types without a
parameterless constructor, a singular parameterized constructor, or a
parameterized constructor annotated with 'JsonConstructorAttribute' is
not supported. Type 'System.Net.Http.HttpContent'. Path: $ |
LineNumber: 0 | BytePositionInLine: 1.
This is the method I'm using to post to the database. Note that this method is not in the console application. It is in the ASP.NET Core MvC application opening a web browser and listening for HTTP requests (which can come from the console application).
[HttpPost]
public ActionResult CreateHighscore(HttpContent requestContent)
{
string jasonHs = requestContent.ReadAsStringAsync().Result;
HighscoreDto highscoreDto = JsonConvert.DeserializeObject<HighscoreDto>(jasonHs);
var highscore = new Highscore()
{
Player = highscoreDto.Player,
DayAchieved = highscoreDto.DayAchieved,
Score = highscoreDto.Score,
GameId = highscoreDto.GameId
};
context.Highscores.Add(highscore);
context.SaveChanges();
return NoContent();
}
I'm sending POST requests in a pure C# console application, with information gathered from user input, but the result is exactly the same when using Postman for post requests - the above NotSupportedException.
private static void AddHighscore(Highscore highscore)
{
var jasonHighscore = JsonConvert.SerializeObject(highscore);
Uri uri = new Uri($"{httpClient.BaseAddress}highscores");
HttpContent requestContent = new StringContent(jasonHighscore, Encoding.UTF8, "application/json");
var response = httpClient.PostAsync(uri, requestContent);
if (response.IsCompletedSuccessfully)
{
OutputManager.ShowMessageToUser("Highscore Created");
}
else
{
OutputManager.ShowMessageToUser("Something went wrong");
}
}
I'm new to all this HTTP requests stuff, so if you spot some glaring errors in my code, that would be appreciated. Though, the most important question is, what am I missing, and how can I read from the HttpContent object, to be able to create a Highscore object to send to the database?
It seems to be the string jasonHs... line that is the problem, since the app crashed in exactly the same way, when I commented out the rest of the ActionResult method.
Based on your code, we can find that you make a HTTP Post request with a json string data (serialized from a Highscore object) from your console client to Web API backend.
And in your action method, you create an instance of Highscore manually based on received data, so why not make your action accept a Highscore type parameter, like below. Then the model binding system would help bind data to action parameter(s) automatically.
[HttpPost]
public ActionResult CreateHighscore([FromBody]Highscore highscore)
{

How do you transform a cookie value into a header value in Ocelot

I am using a micro-services architecture in dotnet core.
I am putting Ocelot in front as an api-gateway (BFF).
My main web application uses cookie auth with the jwt token in the cookie.
This is for backwards compatibility.
All my new apis use bearer auth.
I would like to in Ocelot get the value out of the cookie and insert it into the header.
I have seen header values added in the configuration file.
This however will need a code implementation due to the dynamic nature.
What is the recommended approach for implementing this?
We had a requirement to change the header for our access token so in Ocelot we did this:
public class SecurityTokenHandler : DelegatingHandler
{
private const string Racoon = "Badger";
private readonly IHttpContextAccessor contextAccessor;
public SecurityTokenHandler(IHttpContextAccessor contextAccessor)
{
this.contextAccessor = contextAccessor;
}
protected override async Task<HttpResponseMessage> SendAsync(HttpRequestMessage request, CancellationToken cancellationToken)
{
var httpRequest = this.contextAccessor.HttpContext.Request;
var securityToken = httpRequest.GetSecurityTokenFromHeader();
if (!string.IsNullOrWhiteSpace(securityToken))
{
request.Headers.Authorization = new AuthenticationHeaderValue(Racoon , securityToken);
request.Headers.Remove(Constants.OurOldAccessToken);
}
return await base.SendAsync(request, cancellationToken);
}
}
Register like this:
services.AddDelegatingHandler<SecurityTokenHandler>(true);
Works great, single point to deal with, all our BFFs, MSs do not care!

Azure Function SignalR Negotiate function works but Send function fails

i have a xamarin app that is trying to talk to use SignalR in Azure functions.
i have 2 azure functions as per the documentation.
public static class NegotiateFunction
{
[FunctionName("negotiate")]
public static SignalRConnectionInfo GetSignalRInfo(
[HttpTrigger(AuthorizationLevel.Anonymous, "post")] HttpRequest req,
[SignalRConnectionInfo(HubName = "chat")] SignalRConnectionInfo connectionInfo)
//, UserId = "{headers.x-ms-client-principal-id}"
{
return connectionInfo;
}
}
and
public static class SendMessageFunction
{
[FunctionName("Send")]
public static Task SendMessage(
[HttpTrigger(AuthorizationLevel.Anonymous, "post")]object message,
[SignalR(HubName = "chat")]IAsyncCollector<SignalRMessage> signalRMessages)
{
// var chatObj = (ChatObject)(message);
return signalRMessages.AddAsync(
new SignalRMessage
{
// the message will only be sent to this user ID
// UserId = chatObj.ReciversId,
Target = "Send",
Arguments = new[] { message }
});
}
}
in my xamarin client i am connecting like this.
try
{
_connection = new HubConnectionBuilder()
.WithUrl("http://192.168.1.66:7071/api")
.Build();
_connection.On<string>("Send", (message) =>
{
AppendMessage(message);
});
await _connection.StartAsync();
}
I send message using this code in one of the pages of Xamarin app page.
try
{
await _connection.SendAsync("Send", MessageEntry.Text);
MessageEntry.Text = "";
}
connection code works it hits "negotiate" function properly but when i call SendAsync it does not hit break-point in [FunctionName("Send")] and nothing happens. It doesn't give me any exception as well.
local settings are like this
Update
i also tried Invoke. it didnt worked.
Should i try making a POST call to [FunctionName("Send")] ?
The way SignalR SaaS works in Functions is slightly different to using the NuGet package in a .NET Application.
You can't invoke a function using the SignalR library, as you can see on the attribute in your function, it's expecting a Http trigger so you have to do a POST to this endpoint instead of invoking it as you normally would.
[HttpTrigger(AuthorizationLevel.Anonymous, "post")]
You still want to listen to the Send target as normal.

When calling AcquireTokenByRefreshToken on the AuthenticationContext instance with Microsoft.IdentityModel.Clients.ActiveDirectory?

I am developing a multi-tenant application registered on my Azure AD that consumes Office 365 apis, Graph API etc.
I followed this Microsoft sample to build my work which uses ADAL .NET library and OpenIdConnect: Microsoft.IdentityModel.Clients.ActiveDirectory, Version=2.19.0.0
In ADAL.NET, we use an AuthenticationContext instance with a custom inherited class for the TokenCache (see code the sample code here).
For each request to the authorized resources, depending on the API, we invoke one of these methods (see code below) to get the auth_token that will be put in the request Bearer parameter. Is it the correct way to do it?
We never make use of the method AcquireTokenByRefreshTokenAsync, does it mean that our application never uses the refresh_token? Does it mean that our user will have to relog after one hour? Should we implement a kind of refreshing procedure with AcquireTokenByRefreshTokenAsync in the catch statement? Can it be made without prompting anything to the end-user?
REMARK: I posted a question regarding OpenIdConnect authentication ticket lifetime. To me these two questions are unrelated but they may be.
string signInUserId = ClaimsPrincipal.Current.FindFirst(ClaimTypes.NameIdentifier).Value;
string userObjectId = ClaimsPrincipal.Current.FindFirst("http://schemas.microsoft.com/identity/claims/objectidentifier").Value;
string tenantId = ClaimsPrincipal.Current.FindFirst("http://schemas.microsoft.com/identity/claims/tenantid").Value;
public async Task<string> AcquireOutlook365TokenAsync()
{
AuthenticationContext authContext = new AuthenticationContext(string.Format("{0}/{1}", SettingsHelper.AuthorizationUri, tenantId), new ADALTokenCache(signInUserId));
try
{
var result = await authContext.AcquireTokenSilentAsync(#"https://outlook.office365.com/",
new ClientCredential(SettingsHelper.ClientId, SettingsHelper.AppKey),
new UserIdentifier(userObjectId, UserIdentifierType.UniqueId));
return result.AccessToken;
}
catch (AdalException exception)
{
//handle token acquisition failure
if (exception.ErrorCode == AdalError.FailedToAcquireTokenSilently)
{
authContext.TokenCache.Clear();
}
throw new HttpResponseException(new HttpResponseMessage(HttpStatusCode.Unauthorized));
}
}
public async Task<string> AcquireAzureGraphTokenAsync()
{
AuthenticationContext authContext = new AuthenticationContext(string.Format("{0}/{1}", SettingsHelper.AuthorizationUri, tenantId), new ADALTokenCache(signInUserId));
try
{
var result = await authContext.AcquireTokenSilentAsync(#"https://graph.windows.net/",
new ClientCredential(SettingsHelper.ClientId, SettingsHelper.AppKey),
new UserIdentifier(userObjectId, UserIdentifierType.UniqueId));
return result.AccessToken;
}
catch (AdalException exception)
{
//Same as other method
}
}
ADAL uses the stored refresh tokens automatically and transparently, you aren't required to perform any explicit action. AcquireTOkenByRefreshToken is in the ADAL surface for legacy reasons, and has been removed from version 3.x.
