Accessing data persisted to Windows Azure Storage
Windows Azure Diagnostics captures diagnostic information for an instance then persists it to the Windows Azure Storage Service. The persistence location depends on the data buffer.
The Directories data buffer is configured as a set of data sources each of which maps a path on the local file system with a container in the Windows Azure Blob Service. The Diagnostics Agent persists files in that path as blobs in the configured container. Note that the Diagnostics Agent inserts a record in the WADDirectoriesTable each time it persists a file to a container.
The Diagnostics Agent persists the data in the other data buffers as records in the Windows Azure Table Service. The following tables are used:
|
Records |

Diagnostic Infrastructure Logs |
WADDiagnosticInfrastructureLogsTable |
|
Performance Counters |

|
Windows Azure Logs |
WADLogsTable |
|
Windows Event Logs |
WADWindowsEventLogsTable |
The tables are partitioned by minute...
