If you used CTF on an application that you ran on
Microsoft Azure (rather than locally) you must download the CTF trace information from
Microsoft Azure table storage before you can view it. To do this you use the ctfazure utility which enables you to list, extract, and delete CTF trace events that have been written to
Microsoft Azure table storage
You run the ctfazure utility from the command line and its format is as follows:
