Dotnet-counters output from Azure App Services - azure

I'm trying to find a way to get dotnet-counters output from Azure App Services to either the Azure Portal (good enough for some trouble shooting) or some other console tool.
Does anyone know of a way to get the data, even when the app service is running across multiple app service plans? I was picturing maybe there is an app service extension (but no luck so far).
Eventually I'll want to automate this so I can get the data onto our monitoring system, but first baby steps.... just need something I can manually eyeball to help debug issues.
Anyone have any thoughts on how to do this?
Thanks
Ken

From offical doc, we can install dotnet-counters by cli command and download .exe directly.
As azure web app running in sandbox environment, so we can't add dotnet-counters to env, which means we can install it, but we can't use it.
So my solution is,
we can download .exe file directly.
After downloading finished, we can copy and paste it to wwwroot.
Then we can use it on scm site and azure portal.
On kudu site.
On azure portal.

Azure Web App with Linux Logging not works

i try my first steps with Azure. I have upload a WebApp (Blazor WASM Serverhosted) on a Linux System. Now i want to see the logs. My application brokes on Azure on startup. Everything I have tried has not worked.
The logstream shows nothing.
The Monitoring/logs are disabled
I activate in Monitoring/App Service Logs the File System and go to FTP Folder and i don't find a log-folder or something like this
I hope for help to fix my App or Configuration on Azure
Still the issue can be available in github . You can achieve this by using below steps.
Steps provided here. And I am deployed in Linux app service
Now you can be able to view the logs in application insights
You can add/modify the custom logs as well by using the custom telemetry client.

Run a console app in Azure and see the console output

I want to run a console application and see the output. It's a continuous one; I don't understand the other one.
I've got VisualStudio to deploy a console app to a WebJob, but I absolutely cannot get any output from it.
EDIT: why does the app service get a URL to 'browse' it? It's not a website.
EDIT: under HostingPlan->AppService->Diagnostic settings if I try to create a new diagnostic settings then there is a checkbox called AppServiceConsoleLogs which sounds promising, but it seems to require an Archive to storage account and none is listed even though I've set on up.
If you really published this as a "WebJob," then go to the "WebJobs" section of your AppService -- it's in the Settings section -- and it should display your WebJob in the list. Then right-click on your job and select "Logs." This will open the logs for your job. Click on the "Toggle Output" button and this should show you anything your app wrote to the console.
Edit:
Here is the WebJobs section of an App Service on the Azure Portal. If you Right-click on a specific job, it will show a (non-browser) context menu that gives you access to Logs.
If you have a subscription to Azure DevOps, you will be able to run your console app. Upload your console app and create a pipeline to run a script. Add the command and necessary arguments if any and run the pipeline.
The process may take around 10~15 minutes if you do not have an account with azure DevOps, and less if you have it already. Please follow the steps mentioned in the blog I wrote here and you should be able to run your console app without trouble.
How to run Console Applications on Azure Pipelines
PS: This may not be the best solution but as of now it offers free run of console apps on Azure Pipelines. Hope this helps!
why does the app service get a URL to 'browse' it?
Suppose it's your azure web url cause webjob is host in a web, if not please provide more information.
it seems to require an Archive to storage account and none is listed
even though I've set on up.
Mostly it's because your storage account region is different from your web region, so create a new account with the same region then it will show in the list.
And suppose you want to check the webjob output, the simplest way is the Bryan Lewis way, just check the Logs in the kudu page. Else if you want to save it to storage and view it, go to App Service logs under your web Monitoring, set the Application Logging (Blob) and set the storage account(remember the region should be same or create a new one). Then you will be able to view the log csv file like below.

Azure publishing profile to deploy to multiple cloud services at once

I want to deploy one Azure application package (.cspkg) with N different configuration files(.cscfg) to the cloud.
I know that Visual Studio makes it easy to publish packages with "publish profiles" (.azurePubxml) however I still could not figure out how can I automate deployment of N cloud services all using same app package.
Is it possible? I don't want to go down Powershell route as it's tedious to write a good script and I don't want to mess with uploading cspkg blob etc. Is there an easier way to deploy an app with different cscfgs at once?
Publish-AzureServiceProject does most of the work for you - but you would need to write your own script to swap out the correct configuration file.

Azure: Deploying a Ruby on Rails app in the Cloud

I've just completed an automation script that:
downloads a project build to local storage (worker role)
installs ruby, apache, and other dependencies
configures apache and the RoR application to serve requests via port 81
This is all working locally. I'm working with visual studio; running the application successfully pulls the local machine from "blank slate" to "serving requests".
I'm now trying to push this up to Azure - no longer using the local machine, but an actual worker role.
I've packaged the project and uploaded it to a production environment via my Azure subscription portal, but navigating to the site URL doesn't give me anything (site not found).
I'm a bit new to Azure. What steps do I need to take to ensure that this application will work up in the cloud? I feel like I've forgotten to configure something, like the endpoint port (81). Any advice or recommended reading would be super helpful; thank you so much for your time!
If you need some real assistance to troubleshoot the problem, tt would be best to see the following 3 things:
Your automation script (Startup Task)
Your worker role OnStart() function
Your ServiceDefinition and ServieConfiguration
Are you using ProgramEntryPoint to luanch your RoR app or you are doing all of this in Startup task? Based on above info, it is easy to understand the application architecture and some suggestions can be made.
However, the best way to troubleshoot this problem is to enabled RDP access to your Azure Worker Role VM and then Log into your Azure VM to understand what is going on. RDP access to Azure VM will validate that your install script ran correctly and all the modules were started.
As your are new to Windows Azure there could be several things could be missing and if you provide more info you will get accurate help instead of some guess work.

Test Azure application in Dev Fabric

I have a created a sample web role application using cloud service. Before hosting my application in cloud, i want to test the application in Dev Fabric. I am sure that when we run the application from VS, it creates an environment that simulates the cloud.
But, if I want to give my application for testing to QA, do I still need to give my source to them and run the application from VS under Dev Fabric or is there any other ways in running my deployed package under Dev Fabric.
In a line, my question is: How do i run my packaged Azure application under Dev Fabric before hosting in Cloud?
Can anyone having an idea, please share me some information?
Thanks for your quick response. CSRun command helped in accoomplishing my requirement. But i can see that it is taking an IP Address, http://127.0.0.1:80/ by default.
Also i am trying to find it out that, is there a way we can change this to a proper name instead of using like an IP?
for ex: http://localhost/ or
with deployed machine name like http://applicationserver/webrole1/ - so that we can access this from any machine in the netwrok.
I went through the Dev Fabric UI, where we can see the curent instances running, but i didnt find any options for these.
Please share me some information on this.
When you run your application locally, a different kind of package gets created (actually a directory) with a .csx extension.
As long as you have that .csx directory and your configuration file (.cscfg), you can run the package by using the "csrun" command. (So no, you don't need Visual Studio.)
You can use this blog post to access azure services running in DevFabric (DF) from other boxes -
