Enable ETW logging on an Azure Worker Role

Question

I m working on a classic Azure Worker Role and I want to enable logging using the Table storage method.

I checked "Enable diagnostics" in the worker role's properties file, and, in the "ETW Logs" tabs after clicking on the "Configure" button in the project properties, I ve added a reference to my C# class that implements the EventSource interface.

Here's this class:

sealed class SampleEventSourceWriter : EventSource
{
    public static SampleEventSourceWriter Log = new SampleEventSourceWriter();
    public void MessageMethod(string Message) { if (IsEnabled()) WriteEvent(2, Message); }
}

My logging storage tables are always empty.

The IsEnabled method is always returning false.

Here's my diagnostics.wadcfgx file content:
