Azure Log Management

Summary

Azure Log Manager allows you to store logs for your service APIs, applications or whatever into Azure table storage. A log viewer with stats is also available.

Features

Store information you want into Azure table storage
Store information and errors or only errors depending on configuration (service hosted on Azure)
Log Viewer displays IPs, stats and visits

Requirements

WPF Toolkit for Log viewer
Azure SDK 1.8

Getting started

Store Azure storage account connection string into Azure configuration, web.config or appconfig
Set up table storage

CloudStorageAccount storageAccount = CloudStorageAccount.Parse(
    CloudConfigurationManager.GetSetting("StorageAccount"));

CloudTableClient tableClient = storageAccount.CreateCloudTableClient();
CloudTable table = tableClient.GetTableReference("logs");
table.CreateIfNotExists();

String logType = CloudConfigurationManager.GetSetting("LogType");

LogManager.Table = table;
LogManager.LogType = logType;

Log information you want

public String GetHelloWorld()
{
    Stopwatch sw = Stopwatch.StartNew();
    Boolean hasError = false;

    try
    {
        Thread.Sleep(2000);
    }
    catch (Exception ex)
    {
        hasError = true;
        LogManager.Log(ex.ToString(), LogEntity.LogType.Error, 0);
    }
    finally
    {
        sw.Stop();
        if (hasError == false)
        {
            LogManager.Log("GetHelloWorld", LogEntity.LogType.Message, sw.ElapsedMilliseconds);
        }
    }

    return "Hello World";
}

To use Log viewer, just set your Azure storage account connection string into App.config (AzureLogManager.LogBoard project)
In order to only log exceptions, clear the value of the “LogType” key in the Azure project
