In Visual Studio,

1. Locate your cloud project.

2. Locate the role (under 'Roles' folder) and open it (double click it).

3. Under the 'Diagnostics' section, make sure 'Enable Diagnostics' is clicked.

4. In addition, you may prefer to not use the default option, and to instead specify what storage account is used to store diagnostics info. If so, under "Specify the storage account credentials for the Diagnostics results:", click the [...] box, and click 'Your subscription' radio button, and then you'll have a drop down of storage accounts to select from.

Republish your cloud service.

I did this and it fixed the problem where the monitoring Minimal / Verbose option was grayed out and not available, as well as the Diagnostics Connection Strings under that having been empty.
