Adding Information To the Trace Stream

Using the ConfigureTrace method additional configuration can be applied.

Adding Class Names

You can include class name information in the trace messages, sometimes this can help providing a more detailed view of where trace is occurring and it allows for additional filtering (e.g. exclude all by class).

To enable class information:

Bilge b = new Bilge();
b.ConfigureTrace(new TraceConfiguraton() {
    AddClassDetailToTrace = true
});

Warning - this creates a stack trace on each log, and therefore will incur a non trivial performance overhead, this should not be enabled when performance is critical.
