Is anyone aware of the level of customisation that Oracle Database Service for Azure (ODSA) allows with respect to logs sent to Azure?
The documentation specifies "events".
I'm afraid Oracle means "logs"?
Or maybe it does really mean events, as in, comparable with "alerts"?
Does it allow customisation of what gets sent?
Any intel is greatly appreciated, thanks in advance!

I have a Flask Application (python for the backend + js/vue for the front) that is running on an Azure App Service. I face very bad performance : lot of time during the day, the application takes minutes to responds. I cannot understand why, is this App Service is very bad ?
Regarding the App Service Plan, I have the P2V3 (220€/month, 16go and 4vCPU), I have also a SQL Database to store information.
I don't know if I can provide more information, but it is really impossible to use it on a long term, for example here some of metrics of the "slow down" issue :
So it is related to Azure issue (and for example can be solve moving on AWS), or to my application ?
If there is any information that I can provide to help identify the issue I can provide, I am not an infrastructure expert so I am not really able to identify myself what it is important to check.
Thanks
#kilag, thank you for confirming this. Looking at the graph you provided, this seems to happen intermittently, correct? Has this behavior been occurring since the start or did it recently start happening after a recent deployment?
Are there any other external dependencies beyond the SQL DB? Such as a CDN?
I would suggest following #azMantas's advice to try out the diagnose and solve blade. This is the same tool that support engineers use when you purchase a paid technical support ticket. More information on that here. This is the quickest way to uncover a potential issue.
Please let us know if there are any insights provided such as a storage volume failover that might be reported in the diagnose and solve blade.
If you see nothing in the diagnose and solve blade, please reach out to us at azcommunity#microsoft.com with the subject ATTN: Bryan and in the body of the email, include your azure subscription ID so we can assist you further. We look forward to your reply.
I was looking at Azure documentation but I couldn't find what type of operating system does Azure for MySQL and Azure Redis Cache use. I assume that for redis it should be a must to use Ubuntu but can't find any details about underlying infrastructure. I may have missed it so if you can please refer me to it.
I want to know what are the difference between my current environment and Azure managed DBs and also what control I would lose if moving to managed instances as opposed to the many benefits that I would gain before going that way.
I have got two database (SQL azure) in North America, I'm getting error that the applications can't Access to the server.
I didn't update the application or database, so I supose that there are a problem with sql azure service. How can I notify Microsoft of this problem?
To 'notify' Microsoft, you have very limited options.
They have their own support forums.
They have their own support ticketing system, that costs a pretty penny but is the fastest way to get their attention.
They have their dashboard, which in my own experience is terrible. It is not a true representation, ever. The updates are very very late.
You also have StackOverflow - but there will be little that we can advise on if there is a problem on the Azure infrastructure side of life.
To help aid in your Azure support woes, I would suggest you get an account with Pingdom and get MetricHubs for your subscription. These will help in showing what goes down, when, how often, and for how long. It can help show if the problem really is in your application or not.
I would also ensure you have diagnostics set up, and log everything you can.
Many many people forget or don't know about the transient error problems. Microsoft have a huge article on it, but it does trip people up a lot.
The Azure Management Portal should also be able to give you a quick summary of if your roles & instances are actually up, healthy and stable.
I would like to explore the azure platform and create applications which make use of azure. So i searched for a tutorial which told me to first create an account, yet my country is NOT AVAILABLE so I cannot create an account! Is there any way in which I can still develop applications using azure platform? Is it true there's some form of emulator?
Can anyone be kind enough to give me a few starting links because I have no fundamental skills in this area?
Thanks very much!
When you install the tools + SDK, you'll get a local runtime that emulates compute and storage (storage is actually stored in a local SQL instance, defaulting to SQL Express). You can use SQL Server or SQL Azure for local database simulation. The things you don't get are ACS, Service Bus, and Cache (and maybe something else I'm missing :) ). Check out this link for differences between real storage and simulated storage, and this link for Compute differences.
The emulator is part of the Azure SDK.
What guarantee does Microsoft give to providing long term support for Azure? If Microsoft was to shutdown Azure how long would they keep the Azure cloud up and running? Has anyone regretted using a SQL Azure feature as it harmed their ability to move off of SQL Azure?
OK. A few questions there. Some can really only be answered officially by Microsoft but I'll take a stab at providing at least some detail for you.
1. What guarantee does Microsoft give to providing long term support for Azure?
Microsoft commit to providing at least 12 months notice for any disruptive change. This is set out in their Online Services Support Lifecycle document. http://support.microsoft.com/gp/OSSLpolicy
2. If Microsoft was to shutdown Azure how long would they keep the Azure cloud up and running?
Per the above. I would consider that a disruptive change and expect them to provide a minimum of 12 months notice.
3. Has anyone regretted using a SQL Azure feature as it harmed their ability to move off of SQL Azure?
There are very few features that are only available in SQL Azure. IN terms of shipping features I can only think of Federations off the top of my head. It's a unique feature in that it's only somewhat interesting for on-premise deployments as you don't typically have elastic capacity on tap on premise and you can probably take other approaches such as a monolithic DB server + storage partitioning to solve your problems. In short I haven't had such regrets.
