Quick Answer
Safe request/response logging: log route, HTTP method, status code, duration for every request. For body logging: use middleware that buffers body (EnableBuffering()), reads it, logs it, resets stream. Avoid logging: Authorization headers, passwords, PII (mask or exclude these fields). Set max logged body size (e.g., 10KB). Use structured logging so sensitive fields can be redacted via enrichers.
Answer
To log request/response bodies safely:
Use custom middleware to intercept HTTP pipeline.
Enable request buffering using HttpRequest.EnableBuffering().
Buffer and copy response streams using a wrapper.
Avoid logging sensitive fields such as passwords, tokens, and PII.
Include traceId or correlationId for cross-service tracking.
