Writing application log files in azure blob storage

Question

Currently I'm logging in blob storage by creating a List of string that i want to log and when the number of strings in the list crosses a number convert the list to a byte array and calling CloudBlockBlob.UploadFromStream..

I have recently come to know that I can also write to the blob directly one line at a time without creating the list of log-lines here.The article shows 'await destinationStream.WriteAsync'.

I would sincerely appreciate if someone could guide me as to how to shift towards this style..

I found a similar question asked a couple of years back but no answers to the same as well..

Thanks

Is there a reason you are rolling your own logging instead of using Azure Diagnostics? You can post unique messages to the diagnostics log azure table

These logs are not diagnostic logs .. but analytics logs for use in HDInsight

You can output the standard Trace to the WADLogsTable with the following:

<system.diagnostics>
    <trace autoflush="false" indentsize="4" xdt:Transform="Insert">
        <listeners>
            <add name="AzureDiagnostics" type="Microsoft.WindowsAzure.Diagnostics.DiagnosticMonitorTraceListener, Microsoft.WindowsAzure.Diagnostics, Version=2.4.0.0, Culture=neutral, PublicKeyToken=31bf3856ad364e35" />
        </listeners>
    </trace>
</system.diagnostics>
