Azure Functions app settings prefix gets added - azure

I've deployed an Azure Functions container to my AKS cluster. For some reason the function doesn't get loaded because of this error:
Storage account connection string 'AzureWebJobsAzureWebJobsStorage' does not exist
Now I do have an app setting in my local.settings.json called AzureWebJobsStorage, so I don't really know why I'm getting this error. In my function.json I'm only referring to AzureWebJobsStorage. Does anyone know?

The error that you are getting shows a connection string (AzureWebJobsAzureWebJobsStorage) that does not match what is in your settings (AzureWebJobsStorage). It sounds like there is a template copying error somewhere, as the setting should just be "AzureWebJobsStorage". Have you verified that the key is correct in local.settings.json?

Unable to deploy Azure Function App - error with storage account

Lately I've had trouble with deploying a Function App via Azure CLI. Last week on Tuesday, I was still able to deploy a Function App via Azure CLI.
This week, like any other day before that, I used fairly common Azure Function Tools command func azure functionapp publish. The version of Azure Function Tools I am using is 3.0.3233.
Now I am getting this error every time:
Retry: 1 of 3
Error creating a Blob container reference. Please make sure your connection string in "AzureWebJobsStorage" is valid
Retry: 2 of 3
Error creating a Blob container reference. Please make sure your connection string in "AzureWebJobsStorage" is valid
Retry: 3 of 3
Error creating a Blob container reference. Please make sure your connection string in "AzureWebJobsStorage" is valid
I checked that AzureWebJobsStorage setting has a correct value, I even connected to storage account connection string via Azure Storage Explorer app.
Just in case, I created a new Function App in another region and I still get the same error.
Has anyone else encountered this error? I suspect this is an error in the tool itself, maybe a faulty build?
I suspect that AzureWebJobsStorage is not present/invalid in App Settings section of the function app in the Azure portal.
Make sure that it is added there and you are not deleting those settings through CLI/templates and recreating them without AzureWebJobsStorage.
I answer to my own question. It seems that this was a transient error. Without changing any code, today I was able to redeploy my function app. Cheers.
If you don't have "Allow storage account key access" enabled , you get this error.
There could be other scenarios as well. But the error does not say anything .

InvalidSyntax error when using Azure KeyVault References

I am having an issue where I add an Azure KeyVault information as part of my Azure function configuration, but it's giving me an InvalidSyntax error.
In my Azure Function, I go to the Configuration section, in the application tab I click "New application setting". In the Name I added a name like: SomeSecret.. and in the Value I added the path to my azure keyvault, so it looks like this:
#Microsoft.KeyVault(SecretUri=https://somename.azure.net/secrets/mysecretname/ec96f02080254f109c51a1f14cdb1931)
I also tried with this
#Microsoft.KeyVault(SecretUri="https://somename.azure.net/secrets/mysecretname/ec96f02080254f109c51a1f14cdb1931")
I tried with the other syntax, like:
#Microsoft.KeyVault(VaultName=somename;SecretName=mysecretname;SecretVersion=ec96f02080254f109c51a1f14cdb1931)
None of them is working. I made sure that for the Azure function identity, it's added to the KeyVault in Access Policies and it has all required access.
Any idea?
#Microsoft.KeyVault(SecretUri=) is the right way.
So the first format should be no problems. Try to give full access policy and try again.

Azure Function In-Portal editor is unreachable, can't access though Kudus

I am unable to access my Azure Function which I created in-portal. I can't get to the Kudus
I created the function in-portal I don't have the backup for the code I created in the portal. I need to get access to the code.
I did change the Azure Storage keys that were associated with the function, as new keys were generated due to some reasons.
Double check if WEBSITE_CONTENTAZUREFILECONNECTIONSTRING appSetting has the right connection string? Restart the site. You can also go to Azure Files (using Azure Portal) to see/download your content.

Keyword not supported: #microsoft.keyvault

I was trying to get the connection string from the azure key vault for azure functions. These are the steps I did,
Created a managed identity(System assigned) in the azure functions
Create a secret in an azure key vault
Add access policies to give permission to the azure function app
Added an entry in the app settings for connection string where the value was #Microsoft.KeyVault(SecretUri=SECRETURLOFKEYVAULT)
But when I run the azure function I am getting below error,
"Keyword not supported: #microsoft.keyvault(secreturi....."
This is how I have enabled managed identity,
And my access policy looks like below,
Any help would be much appreciated
I ran into a similar problem by following the tutorial. My remedy was a restart of the function app. Saving of the app setting was not enough for the Function App to start using the Key Vault secret provider correctly.
According to the steps you provided, it have no problem to work well. Here is the tutorial about get key vault secrets in Azure Function you could refer to.
Note: Add access policies to the azure function app with the Get permission on secrets and that was enough.
Also, here is a similar issue that get same error like you which is due to IP Address restriction blocking it.
This issue occurred while testing on local. It was resolved after doing an az login.

Azure WebJobs SDK ServiceBus connection string 'AzureWebJobsAzureSBConnection' is missing or empty

I created an Azure Function App in Visual Studio 2015. The App has a trigger for service bus queues. The app works perfectly when I run it locally. It is able to read the data from the Service Bus queue (configured via a variable named AzureSBConnection) and log it in my database.
But it gives me the following error when deployed in Azure:
Function ($ServiceBusQueueTriggerFunction) Error: Microsoft.Azure.WebJobs.Host: Error indexing method 'Functions.ServiceBusQueueTriggerFunction'. Microsoft.Azure.WebJobs.ServiceBus: Microsoft Azure WebJobs SDK ServiceBus connection string 'AzureWebJobsAzureSBConnection' is missing or empty.
Note that my connection is called AzureSBConnection and not AzureWebJobsAzureSBConnection. Also, the connection works locally. And finally, the deployed file looks exactly like the local file.
The Visual Studio structure looks like the following:
The function.json file has a bunch of settings as shown below:
Then in the Appsettings.json file, I have the following:
For deploying, I FTPed the files to the D:\home\site\wwwroot location for my Function App in Azure. The final structure in Kudu looks like:
And if I go inside my function folder:
Here is the deployed function.json:
And here is the deployed appsettings:
The deployed json files are exactly the same as the local files. But the deployed version is erroring out because of the missing AzureWebJobsAzureSBConnection. What am I doing wrong?
Only environment variables are supported for app settings and connection strings.
You need to make sure that the environment variable AzureWebJobsAzureSBConnection is set on your Function's app settings in the portal:
and then once there, you need to add the AzureWebJobsAzureSBConnection variable with the proper connection string:
and then you can access this via code by:
Environment.GetEnvironmentVariable(name, EnvironmentVariableTarget.Process);
This will obtain the value from either the appsettings.json or the environment variable depending on where the function is being executed from, (local debugging or deployed on Azure)
It is able to read the data from the Service Bus queue (configured via a variable named AzureSBConnection) But it gives me the following error when deployed in Azure:
After you deployed your application to Azure Function, your application will read the connection string from environment setting. Currently, connection settings in appsettings.json will not update environment setting automatically. We could click [Configure app settings] button as #flyte mentioned to check whether the connection string is configured successfully. If not, you could add it manually in app setting box.
Note that my connection is called AzureSBConnection and not AzureWebJobsAzureSBConnection
Please go to [Integrate] page to check whether the [Service Bus connection] is configured successfully. If not, you could reset it by clicking the [new] link.
