Windows Azure worker role crashing

Problem

We have seen an issue where a worker role running inside Windows Azure will crash, especially if it is under heavy load. The problem is with IntelliTrace being enabled. To determine if this is causing your worker role to crash, the first thing to look for are some event logs that look like this:

 Application: WaWorkerHost.exe
Framework Version: v4.0.30319
Description: The process was terminated due to an unhandled exception.
Exception Info: System.Runtime.CallbackException
Stack:

If you see event logs like these, it doesn’t definitely mean that IntelliTrace is causing the problem, but if you have IntelliTrace enabled, it is pretty likely that it is.

To determine for sure that IntelliTrace is the problem, you would need to capture a dump of the Worker Role process (WaWorkerHost.exe) by remoting into the instance and attaching a debugger to the process. If you look at the dump with Windbg or some other dump analysis tool, you want to look for the following exception:

 Exception object: 0000000004acefc8

StackTraceString: <none>

Note, this was shown using psscor4 and running !dumpallexceptions and then !printexception on the inner exception.

Solution

To resolve this, you need to redeploy your package to Azure and disable IntelliTrace.

Note

This problem was first posted on the MSDN forums.
