Azure HTTP Web Server Logs to SQL

If you enable File System Web Server logs for your Azure App Service...

Settings > Diagnostics logs > Web server logging > File System





You'll start to see logs on the file system for your app service here:

(you can find your FTP host and credentials in the publish profile file)

/LogFiles/http/RawLogs




Alternatively, you can see these logs through the Kudu UI:

https://{yourappservicename}.scm.azurewebsites.net/DebugConsole/?shell=powershell



Instead of downloading these one and a time and parsing through them, you can use the following library to assist in loading them into a relational database.

You could even run this as a webjob within your app service.


Get the code here:

**Update: This repo now includes a web project that references the console app as a WebJob.

You may also want to check out the LogParser tool by Microsoft https://blogs.msdn.microsoft.com/friis/2014/02/06/how-to-analyse-iis-logs-using-logparser-logparser-studio/


Hope this helps,

Search iPhone Text Messages with SQLite SQL Query

Image
While you're here, check out some of our interactive visualizations: Would you like to visualize your text messages? ------------------------------------------------------------------------------- In my experience, the iPhone text message search functionality is usually pretty awful. Especially if you're trying to find a text from a few years ago. Luckily, if you backup your iPhone using iTunes, your text messages are exported/stored in a SQLite database, and it is fairly easy to query. Here are the steps to SQL Query your Text Messages.   1. Backup your iPhone using iTunes.   2. Find the SQLite file that contains your text messages .     - in ~/Library/Application Support/MobileSync/Backup/* with a filename of 3d0d7e5fb2ce288813306e4d4636395e047a3d28   3. Ensure you have a SQLite Query tool ( SQLiteBrowser is pretty good ).   4. Open your SQLite Text Message DB File using your favorite SQLite query tool.   5. Execute this query to see all your mess

Configure SonarAnalyzer.CSharp with .editorconfig, no need for SonarCloud or SonarQube

Our goal was to use  SonarSource / SonarQube  static code analysis with the most "minimal" install/configuration footprint. We wanted the static code analysis to break/fail the build on the local developer machines as well as our CI/CD Azure DevOps environment if a rule was violated. SonarSource products usually rely on some external source,  SonarCloud /SonarQube to determine which rules to apply on the local dev machine, and to store the results. We wanted to eliminate these dependencies. SonarSource also provides a Visual Studio extension called  SonarLint  to help check the static code analysis rules within the Visual Studio IDE without needing an external source for the rules. The static code analysis rules SonarLint enforces are also defined in the  SonarAnalyzer.CSharp  nuget package. This nuget package is a set of  Roslyn Code Analyzers . In .NET Core, Roslyn Code Analyzers are triggered during a build if the nuget package is referenced by the project. Also in .NET Co

After adding a new file or project within a Visual Studio solution there are certain settings that I always update.  Follow the steps below to edit the default templates so these settings become the default.
