Question

I have enabled Diagnostics in my Azure PHP Web Role. It seems to be indeed enabled as it’s creating two tables WADDiagnosticInfraestructureLogsTable and WADWindowsEventsLogTable, as well as dumping the config in the blob container wad-control-container.

But it’s not creating tables for the other two sections (PerformanceCounters and Logs) of my diagnostics.wadcfg. What am I doing wrong?

This is my diagnostics.wadcfg:

<DiagnosticMonitorConfiguration xmlns="http://schemas.microsoft.com/ServiceHosting/2010/10/DiagnosticsConfiguration" configurationChangePollInterval="PT1M" overallQuotaInMB="4096">

    <DiagnosticInfrastructureLogs bufferQuotaInMB="1024" scheduledTransferLogLevelFilter="Verbose" scheduledTransferPeriod="PT1M" />

    <Logs bufferQuotaInMB="1024" scheduledTransferLogLevelFilter="Verbose" scheduledTransferPeriod="PT1M" />

    <WindowsEventLog bufferQuotaInMB="1024" scheduledTransferLogLevelFilter="Verbose" scheduledTransferPeriod="PT1M">
        <DataSource name="Application!*"/>
        <DataSource name="System!*"/>
    </WindowsEventLog>

    <PerformanceCounters bufferQuotaInMB="1024" scheduledTransferPeriod="PT2M">
        <PerformanceCounterConfiguration counterSpecifier="\Memory\Available MBytes" sampleRate="PT1M"/>
        <PerformanceCounterConfiguration counterSpecifier="\Processor(_Total)\% Processor Time" sampleRate="PT1M"/>
        <PerformanceCounterConfiguration counterSpecifier="\Network Interface(*)\Bytes Sent/sec" sampleRate="PT1M"/>
        <PerformanceCounterConfiguration counterSpecifier="\Network Interface(*)\Bytes Total/sec" sampleRate="PT1M"/>
    </PerformanceCounters>

</DiagnosticMonitorConfiguration>

This is the configuration file that Azure Diagnostics dumps into my blob storage:

In my ServiceConfiguration.cscfg I have this:

<ConfigurationSettings>
    <Setting name="Microsoft.WindowsAzure.Plugins.Diagnostics.ConnectionString" value="[myconnectionstring]"/>
    [...]
</ConfigurationSettings>

And in my ServiceDefinition.csdef:

<Imports>
    <Import moduleName="Diagnostics"/>
</Imports>

Answer 1

Your configuration looks good.

Did you give the deployment at least 5-10 minutes to start creating the tables and start logging?
