Aspnet core request count logging

Hello,
I am trying to log requests in aspnet core through middleware. Basically I want to know how many one or another endpoint is being used.
For example I have 2 controller and each controller has 2 endpoints:

HTML

GET /customers/{id}
GET /customers/hard-working-customers

GET /profiles/{id}
GET /profiles/outdated-profiles

So the final result I want to count the calls. For example one endpoint was used X amount of times and another used Y amount of times.
Though it looks like there is no easy way to get controller/action from HttpContext in middleware...
Any suggestion how to achieve this in a clean manner?

Thanks!

What I have tried:

googled for possible solution without much of a luck.

Solution 1

I got this solved by applying custom ActionFilter attribute to controllers where I want the logging to happen.
This allowed me to get the Controller and Action using this simple syntax:

{context.ActionDescriptor.RouteValues["controller"]}
{context.ActionDescriptor.RouteValues["action"]}
