Log Debug even when no debugger attached (support DbgView) #36564

See https://stackoverflow.com/questions/39926520/asp-net-core-logging-and-debugview-exe

Currently the DbgView tool from SysInternals is unable to get Debug log statements from the default ASPNET Core logging. Consider supporting this scenario, which can be extremely useful for diagnosing problems, including in production environments (where attaching a debugger is not practical).

@davidfowl Do you know why we enforced the debugger to be attached?

Eilon commented 6 years ago

Would be interesting to see what happens to perf. But then maybe even if perf is bad, then don't use it in production.

davidfowl commented 6 years ago

People use dbgview in production?

ardalis commented 6 years ago

Occasionally. And in any case it’s nice when you can’t attach a debugger.
