hey out there,

we're trying to add a RayGun logger to a v9 site to catch handled exceptions, e.g. where we've something like the following:

private readonly ILogger<MyController> _logger;
...
try
{
    throw new Exception("oops! i threw an exception...");
}
catch (Exception ex)
{
    _logger.LogError(ex, "log error testing");
}

back in v8 days, we followed these instructions:

Full C# control over Serilog configuration

however there isn't an equivalent in v9 in the docos. we're guessing this is due to v9 now using the Microsoft.Extensions.Logging.ILogger interface.

we've been experimenting and the closest we can find to what we're trying to achieve is this blog post:

https://www.iambacon.co.uk/blog/logging-exceptions-to-raygun-from-your-blazor-server-app

although we've followed the instructions to the letter and we get into this piece of code in the RaygunLoggerProvider:

public ILogger CreateLogger(string categoryName)
{
    return _loggers.GetOrAdd(categoryName, x => new RaygunLogger(categoryName, _config));
}

but we never actually hit our logger...

has anyone else done something like this, i.e. added their own implementation for the ILogger interface, added it to the logger collection and hit their code?!

as ever, any suggestions would be really appreciated!
