Description

The Sitecore Azure module automatically creates a Microsoft Azure Storage Service during deployment and then uses this service to store Sitecore log entries and other diagnostic data. The data is organized into tables.

Here is the list of all the tables used for Sitecore Azure Deployment diagnostics:

Table Name	Table Сontent
WADDiagnosticInfrastructureLogsTable	Windows Diagnostic Infrastructure Logs
WADDirectoriesTable	Internet Information Services (IIS) Logs
WADLogsTable	Sitecore Logs
WADPerformanceCountersTable	Windows Performance Counters
WADWindowsEventLogsTable	Windows Event Logs

 

This article lists various ways to explore the WADLogsTable table in the Microsoft Azure Storage, which contains Sitecore logs.

Solution

Use one of the following approaches to view Sitecore logs in the WADLogsTable table:

• Use the Sitecore Log Analyzer tool, which parses and analyzes Sitecore logs from the Azure Table Storage source.
• Use a free cross-platform Microsoft Azure Storage Explorer tool, which provides the ability to enumerate and access the Table data.
