Where is Profiling configured in a Windows Azure cloud project?

Question

This page shows how to enable profiling from the Publish Windows Azure Application dialog.

How can I configure profiling without using that dialog?

I looked through my service configuration and service definition files, and I can't find any settings related to profiling. The checkbox and radio buttons in the Publish dialog has to be configuring some setting file somewhere; I just can't find it.

Answer 1

I found it. Profiling is indeed configured in a settings file somewhere.

In case anyone has this same question, here's the answer:

Inside the Azure project directory, there's a folder called "Profiles". Inside that folder are some .azurePubxml files that (it looks like) correspond one-to-one with your service configurations.

Inside those files is a setting <AzureEnableProfiling>True</AzureEnableProfiling> that can be set to True or False.

So that's how you can turn Profiling on and off, without needing to use the gui tool for publishing to Azure.
