DeploymentDiagnosticManager Class

The DeploymentDiagnosticManager class is used to get the diagnostics configuration of a deployment and its role instances that are currently running on Windows Azure. Once a deployment has been specified, you can use other classes and methods of the Microsoft.WindowsAzure.Diagnostics.Management namespace to modify the diagnostics and logging configuration for the deployment and its roles.

You can instantiate a DeploymentDiagnosticManager class from an application running in the cloud or on a local computer. The only requirement is that your application can access the Blob storage endpoint for the wad-control-container created by your role’s DiagnosticMonitor.

You create a DeploymentDiagnosticManager object for a deployment by specifying the storage location for your diagnostics configuration file, either using the DiagnosticsConnectionString or a CloudStorageAccount object, and supplying the deployment ID of a hosted service.

For example, the following code snippet creates a new deployment diagnostic manager.

// Create a new diagnostic manager for the deployment.
DeploymentDiagnosticManager deploymentDiagnosticManager = new DeploymentDiagnosticManager("MyConnectionString", "28281fc7754b44faa9ccf4911983edf1");
