Can I implement Elmah like functionality now in an ASP.Net Azure application without the need for Elmah?

Question

I would like to implement logging but would prefer just to use the Microsoft Stack. With all of the changes to diagnostics I find it difficult to keep up.

Can anyone tell me if they have removed Elmah and been able to replace it with the Microsoft Stack of diagnostics. Note my application is an ASP.NET Web API Azure worker role Web application.

Why don't you just use the diagnostics code for Windows Azure? It's super easy to add and the portal is great for viewing and analyzing logs:
