Can I configure Azure diagnostics on IAAS virtual machine?

Question

I would like to reuse libraries written for Azure PAAS solution (WebRoles and WorkerRoles) in a specific service running in Azure VM (IAAS). It would be beneficial if I could use the same trace listener (DiagnosticMonitorTraceListener) and let the Azure diagnostics to deliver logs to Azure Storage. Is it possible to install the diagnostics services into Azure VM?

I found basically the same question here on SO but it is quite old now. Perhaps there was some progress?

Yes, it's now possible to use the Azure Diagnostics extension with Azure IaaS virtual machines as well as PaaS cloud services, see the Virtual Machine Monitoring with Azure Diagnostics Extension documentation for more info.
