Documentation and details:

Cmdlets 2.0 key features are included in the following area:

  • Windows Azure Service Management API
  • Windows Azure SDK
  • Windows Azure Storage Analytics
  • Windows Azure Diagnostics
  • SQL Azure REST API
  • Windows PowerShell

 

The one feature I like the most is to delete old diagnostics logs from Azure storage with a single command.

 

To delete old logs completely usethe command below:

  • Clear-WindowsAzureLog

 

Also all of the Clear* diagnostics cmdlets support –From and –To (and –FromUTC and –ToUTC) parameters. So if you want to delete logs between certain dates you can use command as below:

 

  • Clear-WindowsAzureLog -From "10/1/2011 12:00:00 AM" -To "10/31/2011 12:00:00 PM"
  • (Above command delete all logs in the month of October 2011)

One  caveat to above command is that after clearing the log, the container is not deleted.
