HTTP logging middleware requires AddHttpLogging()

ASP.NET Core HTTP logging middleware has been updated with extra functionality. The middleware now requires services registered with AddHttpLogging.

Version introduced

ASP.NET Core 8.0

Previous behavior

Previously, you could call just app.UseHttpLogging(); to activate HTTP logging.

New behavior

Starting in .NET 8, if you don't also call AddHttpLogging, an error is raised:

System.InvalidOperationException: Unable to resolve service for type 'Microsoft.Extensions.ObjectPool.ObjectPool`1[Microsoft.AspNetCore.HttpLogging.HttpLoggingInterceptorContext]' while attempting to activate 'Microsoft.AspNetCore.HttpLogging.HttpLoggingMiddleware'.

Type of breaking change

This change is a behavioral change.

Reason for change

Additional features were added to the HttpLogging middleware that are registered (and configurable) via the AddHttpLogging method.

Recommended action

Call services.AddHttpLogging() during host construction.

Affected APIs

None.
