Windows Azure Diagnostics Error:

Question

I am working with Windows Azure Diagnostics. I add the below code in Webrol.cs

try

        {

            string wadConnectionString = "Microsoft.WindowsAzure.Plugins.Diagnostics.ConnectionString";

            CloudStorageAccount storageAccount = CloudStorageAccount.Parse(RoleEnvironment.GetConfigurationSettingValue(wadConnectionString));



            RoleInstanceDiagnosticManager roleInstanceDiagnosticManager = storageAccount.CreateRoleInstanceDiagnosticManager(RoleEnvironment.DeploymentId, RoleEnvironment.CurrentRoleInstance.Role.Name, RoleEnvironment.CurrentRoleInstance.Id);

            DiagnosticMonitorConfiguration config = DiagnosticMonitor.GetDefaultInitialConfiguration();



            //Windows Azure logs

            config.Logs.ScheduledTransferPeriod = TimeSpan.FromMinutes(1D);

            config.Logs.ScheduledTransferLogLevelFilter = LogLevel.Undefined;



            //IIS 7.0 logs

            config.Directories.ScheduledTransferPeriod = TimeSpan.FromMinutes(1D);



            ////Failed Request logs

            config.Directories.ScheduledTransferPeriod = TimeSpan.FromMinutes(1D);



            //Windows Event logs

            // config.WindowsEventLog.DataSources.Add("System!*");

            config.WindowsEventLog.DataSources.Add("Application!*");

            config.WindowsEventLog.ScheduledTransferPeriod = TimeSpan.FromMinutes(1D);



            ////Crash dumps

            CrashDumps.EnableCollection(true);





            //update the config with changes

            roleInstanceDiagnosticManager.SetCurrentConfiguration(config);

        }

        catch (Exception ee)

        {

            System.Diagnostics.Trace.TraceWarning("Diagnostics failed");



        }

and the remaining neccesary things in Web.config and the connection string in the .cscfg file. Now I am able to log the Diagnostics in the from the Development environment using the Deployment Storage. But when i host the same application in Cloud I am not able to log the Diagnostics. I am getting an error like

"500 - Internal server error. There is a problem with the resource you are looking for, and it cannot be displayed."

I tried by changing Copy local to true for the namespaces, but that doesn't work. I want the application to work in the deployment environment. If anyone have any idea to resolve this please reply me.

Thanks in advance.

When deploying to the cloud are you setting the value of "Microsoft.WindowsAzure.Plugins.Diagnostics.ConnectionString" to be a connection string to an actual storage account? — knightpfhor

The problem looks like you are not changing the connection string for "Microsoft.WindowsAzure.Plugins.Diagnostics.ConnectionString". You can change this in the settings for the web role project or you service configuration file. Set it to your account name and key. I normally do this with a build script so I can change this when I push to production. You can check out the post here and the code here.
