Calling Set-AzureServiceDiagnosticsExtension with

Question

I'm trying to set Azure diagnostics on a deployed cloud service using the Azure Powershell cmdlets and the Set-AzureServiceDiagnosticsExtension command:

Set-AzureServiceDiagnosticsExtension -StorageContext $storageContext -DiagnosticsConfigurationPath $diagnosticsConfiguration.FullName -ServiceName $serviceName -Slot Production -Role "MyService.Web"-Verbose

Doing so I get the following error

Exception: Microsoft.WindowsAzure.CloudException: BadRequest: The extension ID
MyService.Web-PaaSDiagnostics-Production-Ext-0 is invalid.

It works when I don't use the "-Role" parameter but then I have to call Remove-AzureServiceDiagnosticsExtension for each role prior to calling the Set command which adds 2-3 minutes per role to the script execution time.

The Role parameter matches my role name in the Azure Cloud Service. Am I doing something wrong?

Answer 1

This doesn't like . in the Role name

Change to underscore and it will work

Its a bug in powershell that they will fix next time
