Allows to collect various diagnostics data (performance counters, logs, crash dumps, ...) from Azure roles to Azure Storage.

Windows Azure Diagnostics allows to collect on Azure Storage various diagnostics data on Azure Roles (such as performance counters, IIS logs, event logs and custom logs).

Windows Azure Diagnostics has a fine grained configuration:

  • each role can be configured differently;
  • data can be transferred from roles to Azure Storage periodically or on demand;
  • configuration can be changed from outside Azure, without requiring reboots or redeployments;
  • Diagnostics can collect additional and/or custom data (for example, Windows Azure Caching diagnostics info).
