Overview

This implements the TraceListener intended for .NET applicaiton deployed to Windows Azure as WebSites.

Setup

• Simple clone and build.cmd to build the project.
• Add AzureTraceListener.dll as an Assembly reference to your .NET project.
• Make sure you commit this assembly as part of your repo.

Include AzureTraceListener as a TraceListener to your app

You may do one of the following.

• Imperative thru codes in Application_Start. It is important that the path to LogFiles is ..\..\LogFiles\<yourapp>.

  Trace.Listeners.Add(new AzureTraceListener.AzureTraceListener(@"..\..\LogFiles\aspnet01"));

• Add to web.config

  <system.diagnostics>  
    <trace autoflush="true" indentsize="4">
      <listeners>
        <add name="TextListener"
          type="AzureTraceListener.AzureTraceListener, AzureTraceListener"
          initializeData="..\..\logFiles\aspnet01" />
        <remove name="Default" />
      </listeners>
    </trace>
  </system.diagnostics>
  

That's it. You should be able to use System.Diagnostics.Trace in your application and see the trace files.
