Allow to set CreationPolicy with AuditApi attribute

Now, it’s not possible to set CreationPolicy by AuditApi attribute. It would be great to allow it.

An example:

public class SomeController : ApiController
{
    [AuditApi(EventTypeName = "FooCalled"]
    public async IActionResult FooAction()
    {
       // the audit event is saved on dispose because scope's CreationPolicy is EventCreationPolicy.InsertOnEnd
   }

    [AuditApi(EventTypeName = "BarDone", CreationPolicy=EventCreationPolicy.Manual)] // <-- this isn't possible now
    public async IActionResult BarAction()
    {
       // the audit event is discarded by default
       ...
       if (done) {
         // the audit event is saved
          await this.GetCurrentAuditScope().Save();
       }
    }
}

You are right actually. There won’t be the response info but there wouldn’t be anyway with the manual policy configured globally by Configuration.Setup().WithCreationPolicy(EventCreationPolicy.Manual).

I will leave it up to you. I think I can implement it like you mentioned that the provider will check the response status and whether there was an exception and based on this will decide about the sending.

Thank you.

ok, I can add that config. But note the webapi audit event will not have the response information at the moment of saving, with the approach you’re suggesting.

That’s why I thought it would be better to let the data provider decide which event should be sent/saved.
