Subcommands

Subcommand	Description
hpcazurelog SetComponentTracingLevel	Sets the logging level of HPC components that are running on Windows Azure nodes that are deployed with a specified node template. If /component is not specified, the level is set for all HPC components.
hpcazurelog ListComponentTracingLevel	Lists the logging level set for HPC components that are running on Windows Azure nodes that are deployed with a specified node template. If /component is not specified, the level of all HPC components is listed.
hpcazurelog GetNodeLogs	Downloads to the current folder the log files that are stored in Windows Azure nodes that are deployed with a specified node template and are currently running. If “all” is specified for node or instance name, log files for all nodes are downloaded. If /startDate is specified, but /endDate is not specified, all files from the start date or newer are downloaded. If /UTC is not specified, dates and times are based on the local time zone.
hpcazurelog GetProxyLogs	Downloads to the current folder the log files that are stored in Windows Azure proxy nodes that are deployed with a specified node template. If an instance name is not specified, log files for all proxy nodes are downloaded. If /startDate is specified, but /endDate is not specified, all files from the start date or newer are downloaded. If /UTC is not specified, dates and times are based on the local time zone.
hpcazurelog GetBlobLogs	Downloads the log files that are stored in blob storage in the specified storage account, for the specified time period. Specify a storage account by a storage key, a node template name, or a Shared Access Signature (SAS) URL with read and write permissions for the hpclogs container. Specify either a number of past days from the current date, or a range of dates. Also specify if you want log files only for Proxy nodes or for all nodes. If /startDate is specified but /endDate is not specified, log files from the start date or later are downloaded. If /UTC is not specified, dates are based on the local time zone. If /deployment ID is specified, only the log files for that deployment are downloaded. If the name of a head node (or the name of the failover cluster, for a head node configured for high availability), is specified, only log files for that head node are downloaded. You can use /localPath to specify where the log files should be downloaded (default is the current folder).
hpcazurelog DeleteBlobLogs	Deletes the log files that are stored in blob storage in the specified storage account, for the specified time period. Specify a storage account by a storage key, a node template name, or a SAS URL with read, write, and delete permissions for the hpclogs container. If /olderThan is specified, only log files that contain entries written earlier than the specified number of days (from the current date) are deleted. Alternatively, specify a range of dates, or specify /all to delete all log files. If /endDate is specified but /startDate is not specified, log files from the end date or older are deleted. If /UTC is not specified, dates are based on the local time zone. If the name of a head node (or the name of the failover cluster, for a head node configured for high availability), is specified, only log files for that head node are deleted. Warning This subcommand will delete log files in the storage account. Before deleting log files, consider downloading them by using the GetBlobLogs subcommand.
hpcazurelog CreateBlobSAS	Generates a read-only Shared Access Signature (SAS) URL, valid for 72 hours, for the hpclogs container in the specified storage account. You can then share the SAS with someone assisting you with log analysis. Specify a storage account by a storage key or a node template name. Optionally, specify /fullAccess to grant read, write, delete, and list permissions (required by some hpcazurelog commands or other tools).
hpcazurelog SetTracingLevel	Sets the logging level of HPC tracing information stored in the WADLogsTable in the storage account of an existing deployment of Windows Azure nodes with the specified node template.
hpcazurelog ListTracingLevel	Lists the current logging level set for HPC tracing information stored in the WADLogsTable in the storage account of an existing deployment of Windows Azure nodes with the specified node template.
hpcazurelog GetTracingLogs	Downloads to a specified output file the information in the WADLogsTable in the storage account of an existing deployment of Windows Azure nodes with the specified node template. If /deploymentID is specified, only the information for that deployment is downloaded.
hpcazurelog DeleteTracingLogs	Deletes the WADLogsTable in the storage account of an existing deployment of Windows Azure nodes with the specified node template. Warning This subcommand will delete the data and the WADLogsTable in the storage account. Before deleting the WADLogsTable, consider downloading it by using the GetTracingLogs subcommand.
hpcazurelog /?	Displays Help at the command prompt.
hpcazurelog /help	Displays Help at the command prompt.
