Answer 1

You can’t see the *.svc logs in the management portal. What you can do is write those logs to a local resource and configure the diagnostic manager to pick up these files and write them to a storage account.

Christian Weyer explains in a blog post how you can do this by extending the existing XmlWriterTraceListener: Writing trace data to your beloved .svclog files in Windows Azure (aka ‘XmlWriterTraceListener in the cloud’)

Then I suggest you take a look at Neil’s blog post for setting up custom logs (directories): http://convective.wordpress.com/2009/12/08/custom-diagnostics-in-windows-azure/
