9. Tips Configuration Understanding Emulator vs. Azure differences
IIS Express is lightweight option; runs by default as your user account**
IIS Server is full fidelity option; runs by default as network service**
Emulator ideal for dev and unit testing multi-instance behavior
Azure ideal for true integration testing (clean system with no custom folders or files, no GAC’d dependencies, actual network and identities)
Configuration
Use multiple Cloud config (.CSCFG) files to target Azure environments (e.g. Cloud, Local, Test, LKG, Prod)
Use config transforms for multiple web.config
Use CloudConfigurationManager to load settings
** F5 & Emulator scenarios presently require running VS as admin-elevated

10. Working with Cloud Configuration Settings CloudConfigurationManager
Load a cloud setting by key name:
//tries to load setting from cloud .CSCFG and falls back to web.config
private string conn = CloudConfigurationManager.GetSetting("conn");
ServiceConfiguration.Cloud.cscfg example (enables changes post-deployment):
<ConfigurationSettings>
<Setting name="conn" value=“db://mydatavm.cloudapp.net/" />
</ConfigurationSettings>
Web.config example:
<appSettings>
<add key=“conn” value=“db://mydatavm.cloudapp.net/" />
</appSettings>

11. Tips Publish Save .publishsettings in a SAFE place for reuse
Pick the right cloud service config for the target environment
Save full environments as publish profiles
Leverage the Windows Azure Activity Log for support & trace info
Inspect validation warnings – fast failure is important
Enable agents you need: diagnostics, profiling, Intellitrace

12. Diagnostics in the Cloud Key VS Tools
Remote Desktop
Interact with actual Role Instances (VMs)
Enable in the project
Connect in VS Server Explorer, portal, or using PowerShell
Windows Azure Diagnostics
System logs
Application traces
IntelliTrace (Visual Studio Ultimate only)
Historical record of code execution
Like a DVR for debugging when live debugging isn’t possible

13. Windows Azure Diagnostics Getting Started in VS
VS automatically handles:
Installing diagnostics agent & sets storage account in cloud config
adds DiagnosticMonitorTraceListener to the web.config
Developers still needs to:
Write code in the OnStart method of the role entry point
public override bool OnStart() {
DiagnosticMonitorConfiguration diagConfig = DiagnosticMonitor.GetDefaultInitialConfiguration();
//..configure logs and counters off of diagConfig
 DiagnosticMonitor.Start("Microsoft.WindowsAzure.Plugins.Diagnostics.ConnectionString", diagConfig); }
Configure failed IIS requests tracing in web.config
<tracing>
<traceFailedRequests>
<add path="*">
<traceAreas>
<add provider="ASP" verbosity="Verbose" />
<add provider="ASPNET" areas="Infrastructure,Module,Page,AppServices" verbosity="Verbose" />
<add provider="ISAPI Extension" verbosity="Verbose" />
</traceAreas>
<failureDefinitions statusCodes=" " />
</add>
</traceFailedRequests>
</tracing>
Code will update the configuration in the wad-control-container (Blob storage)

14. Windows Azure Diagnostics Writing and Viewing Traces
Write traces to log (WADLogstable) using the following code
Trace.WriteLine(("Homecontroller Index Writeline", "Information");
Trace.TraceWarning("Homecontroller Index Warning");
Trace.TraceInformation("Homecontroller Index Information");
catch (Exception ex) {
Trace.TraceError(ex.Message); }
View data in Azure Storage (Server Explorer in Visual studio)
Blob storage: IIS failedreqlogfiles and iis logfiles are stored in blob
Table storage: all other data
LogLevel defines the level of data that is being transferred to storage
ScheduledTransferPeriod defines how often the code is transferred to storage (if that is not set or > 1 minute nothing happens)

15. Windows Azure Diagnostics Searching and Filtering Logs
Filter the log data using Odata filters (WADlogsTable in Server Explorer shown below):
This filter Timestamp ge datetime' T05:15:00‘ gives you all the data for that date
