If you are using Windows Azure Diagnostics with the DiagnosticMonitorTraceListener you will most likely have a table in your storage account called WADLogsTable with a ton of data in it. It can be a bit overwhelming.
A colleague and I wanted to get two simple pieces of information: an event’s date and the corresponding message. Furthermore, we only wanted events that had happened today. Here’s what we came up with using LINQPad and the Azure Storage Driver.
I promise, this is the last you will see on this subject today (from my part, anyway). It’s for those who were not online yesterday and/or are in a different time zone and/or didn’t see my post from yesterday and/or don’t speak French.
Azure Storage Explorer I’ve been working quite a bit with Windows Azure lately and particularly with Table Storage. I used to use SQL Server Mangement Studio to work with SQL Server and I found Azure Storage Explorer (screenshot on the left), which is actually pretty good for working with all three storage options: queues, tables and blobs.
Vous connaissez LINQPad ? Scott Hanselman le recommande systématiquement dans liste annuelle d’outils pour développeurs. En ce qui me concerne, je m’en sers pratiquement tous les jours—enfin, quand je développe.
À la base, c’est un logiciel qui vous permet d’exécuter des requêtes Linq :
Mais ça permet aussi d’exécuter des bouts de code arbitraires, juste pour voir ce que ça donne :
La fonctionnalité que j’utilise le plus c’est définitivement celle-ci, mais ces derniers temps je travaille de plus en plus avec Windows Azure et notamment Table Storage.
