Answered Customize RowKey data in WADLogsTable

    I am using Trace.TraceError(message) to add to WADLogsTable. At the same time i need to passback a GUID or some unique string to the user so that user can send us that GUID for investigation. I can generate a GUID and concatenate to 'message' parameter for Trace.TraceError(message) and send back the Guid to the user. But then error search-ability by GUID reduced significantly.

    My question is: Is there a way to add custom data to one of the columns of WADLogsTable, e,g. RowKey?

    If not, how can we get the RowKey back after entering the error to WADLogsTable? That can serve as my GUID too.

    Thanks

    One alternate is to write directly to the WADLogsTable yourself, but that really defeats the purpose.

    A better solution would be to design a table specifically for your exact needs and use that for user specific logging.

    Added. 
    You could use the user id as the PartitionKey and a guid+timestamp for the RowKey for logging every event and making it easily searchable both by user and by the user+guid.

     One option could be to use the WADLogsTable RowKey itself, I think it should solve the purpose of being unique and identify a row.

    How do I get the RowKey immediately after adding to WADLogsTable?

    Hi,

    When you try to insert a entity into Table Storage, you need assign a value to RowKey property, why not get that value before inserting?

    If you want to make the entity has been inserted into table storage, try to make a simple query to check it with unique column (such as RowKey).

    Thanks.
