I have a problem deploying a WebRole (WCF service) to Azure . My WebRole

  • 0

I have a problem deploying a WebRole (WCF service) to Azure. My WebRole keeps showing buzy for at least 30 minutes, until I abort it. I deploy through Visual Studio 2010. I’m looking for some trace information and there is a few blogs that have pointed me towards storage tables called WADInfrastructureLogsTable and WADLogsTable.

I have set up the configuration settings with my storage account like this:

 <ConfigurationSettings>
  <Setting name="DiagnosticsConnectionString"
    value="DefaultEndpointsProtocol=https;AccountName=sandsofttestservice;AccountKey=HgPjkzx+mjqgoDTO8SBNB3B4hdARuibWTOHrXg4BpxRKJfRZ/s4abVIoD5lOIW0LkoD0CoMb0i0GiTXA483MDQ==" />
</ConfigurationSettings>

I have no tables at all in my storage account. Not even after I have deployed Hello World apps successfully. My Blob container holds a vsdeploy- and a wad-control-container, and I have 4 queues.

How will these tables be created?

    public override bool OnStart()
    {
        var dm = DiagnosticMonitor.GetDefaultInitialConfiguration();
        dm.Logs.ScheduledTransferPeriod = TimeSpan.FromSeconds(5);
        dm.Logs.ScheduledTransferLogLevelFilter = LogLevel.Verbose;
        DiagnosticMonitor.Start("DiagnosticsConnectionString", dm);

        Trace.WriteLine("OnStart");
        // For information on handling configuration changes
        // see the MSDN topic at http://go.microsoft.com/fwlink/?LinkId=166357.
        RoleEnvironment.Changing += RoleEnvironmentChanging;

        return base.OnStart();
    }

    I had a similar problem. I had the ‘transfer’ period set to 1 minute and it would not transfer. However, after I updated it to 5 minutes, I started seeing trace messages in the WADLogsTable. Not sure why that made a difference and haven’t found any documentation that talks about a minimum transfer period, but 5 minutes worked for me.

    Also make sure you have appropriate Trace.Writeline() statements in your web/worker role.
