How to access event log from window azure

Question

Will I have to use diagnostics to enable that log data to transfer into storage to access or is there a direct way to access the logs using API?

Answer 1

There are two methods through which you can access Azure VM Event Logs.

1. The best method is to use Azure Diagnostics and Azure Cmdlets. Once you have access to Event logs, you can even download it and save it to your local machines. 
2. The second method is to use the ASP page. You can use Event log API to access the event logs and change it the way you prefer to see them. 

Any other method to access these logs will be complex and cumbersome.
