My Windows Azure Web Role The ASP.NET MVC application serves REST API requests on some routes, and these routes require basic authentication. Client programs are often not authenticated โ most of them are in the middle of debugging โ and therefore authentication errors are quite common. For each event, I get an entry like this in the application log (accessible through an event viewer or class System.Diagnostics.EventLog)
Date and Time Here (ASP.NET 4.0.30319.0): Event code: 100001
Event message: Authentication failure
Event time: Date and time
Event time (UTC): UTC date and time
// lots of information follows
I am sure that I will never read these messages, and writing them consumes some processor time and I / O bandwidth on the virtual service machines.
How can I get these failures?
