User guide

You can set multiple values at once, separated by commas. To set both log4net and System.Dia-
gnostics logging in the .config file, use:
<add key="AWSLogging" value="log4net, SystemDiagnostics"/>
Using the SDK for .NET API, combine the values of the LoggingOptions enumeration and set the
AWSConfigs.Logging property:
AWSConfigs.Logging = LoggingOptions.Log4Net | LoggingOptions.SystemDia
gnostics;
Changes to this setting take effect only for new AWS client instances.
AWSLogMetrics
Specifies whether or not the SDK should log performance metrics.
To set the metrics logging configuration in the .config file, set the AWSLogMetrics key in the
<appSettings> section:
<add key="AWSLogMetrics" value="true">
To set metrics logging with the SDK for .NET API, set the AWSConfigs.LogMetrics property:
AWSConfigs.LogMetrics = true;
This setting configures the default LogMetrics property for all clients/configs. Changes to this setting
take effect only for new AWS client instances.

To set the region in the .config file, set the AWSRegion key in the <appSettings> section:

To set the region with the SDK for .NET API, set the AWSConfigs.AWSRegion property:
AWSConfigs.AWSRegion = "us-west-2";
Changes to this setting take effect only for new AWS client instances.
