Syntax

public static EventListener CreateListener(
    string instanceName,
    string connectionString,
    string tableAddress = "SLABLogsTable",
    Nullable<TimeSpan> bufferingInterval = null,
    bool sortKeysAscending = false,
    Nullable<TimeSpan> listenerDisposeTimeout = null,
    int maxBufferSize = 30000
)

'Declaration
Public Shared Function CreateListener ( 
    instanceName As String,
    connectionString As String,
    Optional tableAddress As String = "SLABLogsTable",
    Optional bufferingInterval As Nullable(Of TimeSpan) = Nothing,
    Optional sortKeysAscending As Boolean = false,
    Optional listenerDisposeTimeout As Nullable(Of TimeSpan) = Nothing,
    Optional maxBufferSize As Integer = 30000
) As EventListener

Parameters

  • instanceName
    Type: System.String
    The name of the instance originating the entries.
  • connectionString
    Type: System.String
    The connection string for the storage account.
  • tableAddress (Optional)
    Type: System.String
    Either the name of the table, or the absolute URI to the table.
  • bufferingInterval (Optional)
    Type: System.Nullable<TimeSpan>
    The buffering interval between each batch publishing.
  • sortKeysAscending (Optional)
    Type: System.Boolean
    The value indicating whether to sort the row keys in ascending order.
  • listenerDisposeTimeout (Optional)
    Type: System.Nullable<TimeSpan>
    Defines a timeout interval for the flush operation when the listener is disposed.
  • maxBufferSize (Optional)
    Type: System.Int32
    The maximum number of entries that can be buffered while it's sending to Azure Storage before the sink starts dropping entries. This means that if the timeout period elapses, some event entries will be dropped and not sent to the store. Calling Dispose() on the EventListener will block until all the entries are flushed or the interval elapses. If nulla null reference (Nothing in Visual Basic) is specified, then the call will block indefinitely until the flush operation finishes.

Return Value

Type: EventListener
An event listener that uses WindowsAzureTableSink to log events.
