submitted by bunglebooz(1132) 1 year, 7 months ago

The Web Role contains only two ASPX pages, and it isn’t even the core part of the application, so there’s no telling how many posts the Worker Role will lead to! read more...

Windows Azure Diagnostics in PHP(blog.maartenballiauw.be)

submitted by maartenba(5845) 1 year, 8 months ago

When working with PHP on Windows Azure, chances are you may want to have a look at what’s going on: log files, crash dumps, performance counters, … All this is valuable information when investigating application issues or doing performance tuning. Windows Azure is slightly different in diagnostics from a regular web application. Usually, you log into a machine via remote desktop or SSH and inspect the log files: management tools (remote desktop or SSH) and data (log files) are all on the same machine. This approach also works with 2 machines, maybe even with 3. However on Windows Azure, you may scale beyond that and have a hard time looking into what is happening in your application if you would have to use the above approach. A solution for this? Meet the Diagnostics Monitor. read more...
