Looks interesting. Damn shame that they only support Git.  It's seems to be
common that people deliberately/inadvertantly cause monopolies by
supporting only one player in various industry sectors. Why ignore
subversion and mercurial ?  - we are using Mercurial so it might kill off
any further investigation.

(Azure service) Logging

[Corneliu I. Tusnea]

Hi,

How do you guys do logging in your application? And how do you search
through logs for various issues?

We have a cloud app deployed in Azure and we implemented our own logging
that logs both to disk in nice neat log files and to Azure table storage.
This works great but it's hard to do searches through the logs at times. We
generate around 1-5Gb logs of a day (and no, we can't really reduce that
atm) and store 90-120 days of logs.

What are some good ways to store & search through these logs?

I looked at getseq.net and the associated libraries but I don't know if I
want to deploy a new server to handle just logging.

Thoughts?

Thanks,
Corneliu.

Re: (Azure service) Logging

[Jorke Odolphi]

I’ve used elasticsearch to do exactly that – cross platform/cloud logging.

https://www.elastic.co/

AWS have it as a managed service, pretty sure you’ll find an equivalent in 
Azure – otherwise it’s a pretty simple install.

I’m not sure if there’s an equivalent that’s based on .NET.

Glass half full vs empty. I'd say it is a good thing that they're
supporting Git and TFVC instead of pretending TFVC is the way forward.

RE: [OT] New PC - Intel LGA 1151 Z170 socket boards

[Ian Thomas]

Ok, convinced myself that socket LGA 1151 Z170 chipset, ddr4 is probably what I 
want.  

Has anyone dealt with Supertech Computers (Brisbane, but online)? They build 
and deliver Australia-wide and have been around for a long time.

I have this motherboard https://www.asus.com/au/Motherboards/RAMPAGE_V_EXTREME/

which uses LGA 2013-v3 socket. The main reason I went with this bad boy, was 
due to the memory configuration. DDR4, yes (not sure about DDR3, I don’t think 
it does either... just DDR4 looking at the specs). Not just that though, but 
you can put in 8 x DIMM which means you can have 64Gb of RAM. (which I do). 

 

Also has an on board M.2 Socket (not two unfortunately but I imagine 2016 
updated version will be better?)

I have 4 SSD’s in Raid 0 as my system drive which is almost as fast as my Raid 
0 M2 Pcie drive (two ssd cards on Pcie boards).

I couldn’t do 4 drives on the older IV extreme I had before this one.

 

Cheers

Stephen

Nathan, you’re right the LGA 1151 boards for Skylake particularly its latest 
iteration Z170 is a better choice. And it shows how long ago I seriously looked 
at the DDR4 RAM prices. 

My research tells me that DDR4 doesn’t yet give much performance improvement 
(leave that aside), but it’s interesting that UniDIMM 
  makes it possible to run either DDR3 
or DDR4 in the newer boards (ie, Skylake), not both at once.

There’s also an Asrock board that does both DDR3 and DDR4 (Asrock B150M 
Combo-G) which I wouldn’t buy – probably N/A here in Australia anyway.

I've been looking at refreshing my system as well. I'm not sure why you'd 
consider a Haswell system over SkyLake?

 

The price difference between something like an Intel i5-4590 (Haswell) and an 
Intel i5-6500 (Skylake) is ~$15.

And the price difference between 8GB of DDR3 (1600Mhz) and 8GB of DDR4 
(2133Mhz) is ~$20 (at least for Kingston).

 

I don't know where you're shopping to see three-fold price differences.

Someone was telling me that the LGA 2011-3 supports both DDR3 and DDR4 RAM, and 
there are some motherboards about that have slots for both types of memory. 

Is that right? 

The socket is used for the Intel Haswell-E and Haswell-EP CPUs. It was released 
in 2014 so now there should be some manufacturers supporting motherboard builds 
for people like me who would stuff it with DDR3 until the cost of DDR4 comes 
down by a factor of 3 or so ..

RE: (Azure service) Logging

[Paul Glavich]

Hey Corneliu,

 

For one of our projects, we used Azure app insights to log everything. 
Normally, you’d inject some JS into a page and it would log page visits, but we 
do not use it for that. We simply log events and use its search to aggregate 
and search data. It actually works really well. I haven’t tried it with the 
volume of data you have but I believe it would be ok.

 

Ping me directly and I can show you

Azure virtual directories

[Greg Keogh]

Just FYI, after stumbling around for a fair while I found this web
page: Deploying
multiple virtual directories to a single Azure Website

in
which he deploys the main site to Azure, then creates a virtual directory
in the portal, then deploys a different app into that virtual directory.
You have to follow his pattern exactly, and I doubt I would have tried this
combination myself as there are no clues that it's a valid thing to do.

I spent half an hour trying all sorts of tricks to apply a default document
(index.aspx in my case) to the app in the virtual directory, but the site's
portal settings are ineffective and so are attempts to use a
 element in the app's config.

*Greg K*

P.S. My tiny site and app seem to have burnt about $2 overnight despite the
fact there were only about 40 requests in total, so that hints at an annual
cost of several hundred dollars. That's pretty scary.
