We have hundreds of apps in azure cloud environment.
We sunset one application but still getting emails, about the app which was sunset a year back :)
Is there any way, we could find out which application is sending email to this DL group.
Tried going though the applications one by one but we don't have access to all the apps in order to identify it.
We are using Azure cloud.

Our platform is UiPath Cloud Orchestrator with DEV/Test/Prod tenants. The Robots are hosted on Azure Windows instances for DEV / Test / Prod.
I created an UiPath App to upload an Excel file, store it in a storage bucket, then start a unattended process to read the excel file.
The UiPath app points and binds to the storage bucket and process in the DEV tenant.
I would like to deploy and migrate the UiPath app to point to the Test Tenant. It seems like that to point to Test, I have to change the app in the app studio to switch the pointers/bindings for the process and storage bucket and replace them and change or confirm the UI elements are correct.
Does anyone know if there is a better way to do migrate the app to another tenant for the UiPath apps?
It does not seem right to have to change the pointers this way. It only just allows us to point to one tenant at a time so hard to really have DEV/Test/Prod instances of the Uipath app without having copies of the app for each tenant.
I can export the app (.uiapp file) and import the file across Cloud platforms but not across the tenants without changing the name of the app. The .uiapp file seems to be a json format with the bindings in the file with specific ids etc. Changing the pointers and bindings here would be error prone as well.
I have looked through the documentation, the uipath academy training and the forums which do not provide an answer.
Appreciate the insight!
As your using the Azure Host, I'm assuming that you might be using the Azure DevOps for your packaging and publishing.
Have a look at the package below:

You can set the Tenancy level so that it's packaged for that specific tenant, can create any assets etc.
New to Azure and looking for some support. I'd like to deploy docanno https://github.com/chakki-works/doccano to the free school/work subscription I have for Microsoft Azure.
I have been totally unsuccessful so far. On the docanno page for deploying to Azure it states that it uses Web App for Containers + PostgreSQL database - do these come with the free account for Azure? The Web App for Containers page reads that my subcription does not include that.
I'd appreciate any help here and it's probably really apparent I am new to this so I apologise if this message is not clear.
I tried to deploy doccano in my Azure subscription, and I found the reason why you can't have progress. The App Service SKU starts from B1, that is the virtual machine family, this machine is not free, you need to pay to use it, the value is not too much, however a free account will not have sucess to deploy this way. What can you do is to deploy this application manually, however It's not to simple to do this, because is your first time using Azure. It would takes you almost 1 hour. If you need any help fell free to contact me back.
I'm planning a project in which I have a windows service installed in on premise machines (about one hundred of them) which should keep in sync an online azure SQL db with the on premise ones (MS access, third party). That sync happens by calling a Web API.
I then have to build a mobile app which will be used by ~3k users that will access the synced data with Azure mobile app backend.
As for now I've started building a single mobile app backend project which serves both mobile app requests, and webapi2 requests used to sync data.
Furthermore I'll need to add queue/topic section to send realtime notifications from the app to on premise services.
My concern is if is it good practice to keep both "mobile app" and webapi2 in the same project, or should I separate them.
Any suggestion will be greatly appreciated.
Many thanks in advance!
You should, separate them. Based on your description, you should use the microservices architecture, you can read more about it in the links below.
Azure specific:

I am looking at possibly running some of our business on Azure.
I am trying to pick the services that would work best for my company, but I am getting mixed signals.
Because I am starting a new system, I want to pick the offerings that are not "legacy" (aka "current"). But there seems to be no way straight forward way to know that.
For example, this page of the Microsoft Documentation says
Cloud Services is similar to Service Fabric in degree of control versus ease of use, but it’s now a legacy service and Service Fabric is recommended for new development.
This page clearly states that Cloud Services is "legacy". However, you would never know this by going to the Cloud Services overview page. It has great marketing material that sells Cloud Services as a great option. But if I picked it, then I would be starting out on a platform that is in a legacy status.
Now I know that about Cloud Services vs Service Fabric. But there are tons offerings on Azure. I am trying to research them one by one to find out which ones are the most recent incarnation, but I feel like I am wasting my time.
Another example is storage. Lucky for me an Azure MVP answered my question on this one. Apparently, there is "older storage account" based disks and "managed" disks. Turns out managed disks are the new, easy way to do things. The storage account is harder. Still available, but not really what a new user should be picking. But again, this is very hard to find out unless someone who has been working with this stuff for a long time tells you.
I was about to start in on App Services and Web Apps, but I thought I would ask first to see if I am doing research that is already done and posted out there.
Is there somewhere that shows the current list of Azure services that you should look at if you are starting a new project?
I asked the similar question almost a year ago, and I even spoke with Azure Support Team after that. At that time, Microsoft did not officially state Cloud Service is legacy.
Does Azure App Service/Web App replace Azure Cloud Service?
We have been hosting our enterprise applications in Cloud Service since 2013, and a couple of them are in App Service. Here is my thought -
4 years ago we only have Cloud Service - Web Role and Worker Role,and App Service (formally named as Web App) is not fully ready for enterprise applications yet. Since App Service came up, Microsoft heavily promote App Service compare to Cloud Service. In addition, what I notice is Cloud Service did not get new features like App Service.
Service Fabric is quite new, and it doesn't have all the belts and whistles like App Service, so we might have to wait a bit for enterprise applications.
Only advantage of Cloud Service is you can remote desktop to a role instance, after the application is deployed.
If I host a new application in Azure today, I'll definitely use App Service.
Microsoft has published a list of Azure reference architectures. It was last updated in November 2016. You can browse it here, and there is some guidance given. But for example, you mentioned using Service Fabric (which is a great way to go for a robust app that really needs to scale), but Service Fabric isn't mentioned in the aforementioned resource.
I spend a lot of time running down Azure resources in relation to web applications (not to be confused with App Service Web Apps), and I have not found a definitive source of the type of info you're looking for personally.
Scenario:
One team had built one application, and application is running on azure.
maintenance is taken care by same team, we don't want to give full access of production instance to developer team, but want to give read permission, like - monitoring of logs, cpu usages etc.
Solution according to me is build an application which will get dashboard data and log data from azure via api and that data will be displayed to development team.
I am referring these 2 links
https://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/library/azure/dn722415.aspx
https://azure.microsoft.com/en-in/documentation/articles/api-management-get-started/
Question:
Still I am not able to find api which will give the dashboard data. if anyone know api for the same, please help.
Is there any alternative solution for this scenario.
If you deploy your app using the new Azure Resource Manager mode, it provides a Role Based Access Control to your resources. You can deploy your app inside a Resource Group and provide read access to your developers. They will be able to view the information about the services that your app are made of but without the option to change anything.
