Does anyone know what the possible values are for kind on a Microsoft.Web/sites object in an Azure Resource Manager template?
There is no indication what the valid values are, only that it is a string.
https://learn.microsoft.com/en-us/azure/templates/microsoft.web/2019-08-01/sites
There are five possible values, they are api, app, app,linux, functionapp, functionapp,linux.
Meaning:
api - api app
app - windows web app
app,linux - linux web app
functionapp - windows function app
functionapp,linux - linux function app
You could easily check it in the portal -> App Services -> Add filter -> Kind.
If you are curious, you can also create one and check it in the resource explorer, it will be like below.

Is it possible to lookup the application name for an Azure app as it runs, i.e., get the information about that is displayed in the Azure portal? In the example below, I'd want something to tell me from within the application that I am running sitemap-prod-eastus.
I've been looking at the Azure Context object but not seeing what I need. There is an invocation ID, a name for the function, a directory - not the info in this window.
Maybe this can be done through Azure Application Insights?
I am working in Node JS.
I've not seen anything that would expose this to a function app. That said, there is one sort of workaround that you could do which would work - go to the Configuration blade for the function app, Application settings tab, and add a configuration key like function_name and set its value to the name of your app. Your app could then just read it out of configuration.
It's an extra step, but if you're doing it with something like ARM or Terraform, it's just another configuration entry with a variable you already declared to set up the app in the first place.
Answering my own question: Azure provides WEBSITE_SITE_NAME in the runtime environment that matches the name of the function app.
I am trying to deploy an Azure Web App through a Jenkins scripted pipeline using the Azure App Service Plugin. This is my deploy-command (GUIDs have been changed):
azureWebAppPublish azureCredentialsId: 'a0774bb6-e471-47s9-92dc-5aa7b4t683e8', resourceGroup: 'my-demo-app', appName: 'MY-DEMO-APP', filePath: 'public/*, package.json'
When running the script I get the following error:
The client '03a1b3f9-a6fb-48bd-b016-4e37ec712f14' with object id '03a1b3f9-a6fb-48bd-b016-4e37ec712f14' does not have authorization to perform action 'Microsoft.Web/sites/read' over scope '/subscriptions/81fd39sw-3d28-454c-bc78-abag45r5d4d4/resourceGroups/my-demo-app/providers/Microsoft.Web/sites/MY-DEMO-APP' or the scope is invalid. If access was recently granted, please refresh your credentials.
The strange thing is, the ID of this "client" that's missing authorization does not appear anywhere in the build plan. It's neither the ID or a part of the service principal nor the ID of the Container Registry credentials. It also doesn't appear on the machine that executes the build (I checked both the GUID of the mother board and the windows installation). Also the term client is not used for any part of the build plan, so I don't really know what's the actual issue in this case.
Please check out this tutorial that explains how to Set up continuous integration and deployment to Azure App Service with Jenkins and One of the best method to deploy to Azure Web App (Windows) from Jenkins : https://learn.microsoft.com/en-us/azure/jenkins/java-deploy-webapp-tutorial
To find the Azure AD user with the object id '03a1b3f9-a6fb-48bd-b016-4e37ec712f14', go to Azure portal, open Cloud Shell and run
Get-AzureADUser -ObjectId '03a1b3f9-a6fb-48bd-b016-4e37ec712f14'
To diagnose or troubleshoot the issue, go to Azure Portal -> Resource Groups -> my-demo-app -> MY-DEMO-APP -> Access control (IAM) -> Role assignments -> and then search for above found AD User and check if that user has atleast read permission.
Hope this helps!
I am trying to find a REST API / PowerShell cmdlet to retrieve the VM name(starts with RD) for an instance of Azure web app.
I found out that I can list the process Ids by Instance Id and then get Instance Process with Azure App Service. This object has details including the Machine Name. I'm wondering if there is a better way of doing this, something with lesser API calls perhaps.
Background:
I need to restart a specific instance of a Azure Web app programmatically. Users calling restart can only see the VM name or Role Instance of a web App in Application insights.
I found APIs to list instances but nothing to find mapping between instance Id and VM name directly.
Do you try this API Virtual Machines - List?
By Using this api, you can get id and name from values[]
GET https://management.azure.com/subscriptions/{subscriptionId}/resourceGroups/{resourceGroupName}/providers/Microsoft.Compute/virtualMachines?api-version=2018-06-01
Result example ：
{
"value": [
{
// ignore
"id": "/subscriptions/{subscriptionsID}/resourceGroups/test-resource-group/providers/Microsoft.Compute/virtualMachines/my-vmname",
"name": "my-vmname"
}
]
}
You can try to use the REST API Web Apps - List Instance Identifiers to get all scale-out instances of an app.
GET https://management.azure.com/subscriptions/{subscriptionId}/resourceGroups/{resourceGroupName}/providers/Microsoft.Web/sites/{name}/instances?api-version=2016-08-01
Actually, the instances for a WebApp by scaling out is for its App Service Plan. For example, I scaled up the instance number of my webapp to 4 on Azure portal, then the instance number of its App Service Plan as the figures below.
And I got the json response from the REST API, as below.
How can I compare the App Service configuration settings in two different App Services?
You can use the Azure Resource Explorer to navigate to and view a JSON representation of the conifguration of an App Service. This is built into Azure and doesn't require additional tooling.
For a Proof-of-Concept application I have, I navigated it as such:
subscriptions
-> My Subscription
-> resourceGroups
-> My PoC Apps
-> providers
-> Microsoft.Web
-> sites
-> MyTestApp
-> config (click on config for some, expand it and browse children for other config)`
I'm assuming you know how to compare two different blocks of JSON via various means (DIFF tools, etc), so I won't explain that part.
You can you PowerShell to get all the configuration details of your app services
Login to your Azure Subscription using Login-AzureRmAccount
To get all Configuration Settings execute below command.
Get-AzureRmWebApp -Name YourAppServiceName1;Get-AzureRmWebApp -Name YourAppServiceName2
I'm trying to build a small program to change the autoscale settings for our Azure WebApps, using the Microsoft.WindowsAzure.Management.Monitoring and Microsoft.WindowsAzure.Management.WebSites NuGet packages.
I have been roughly following the guide here.
However, we are interested in scaling WebApps / App Services rather than Cloud Services, so I am trying to use the same code to read the autoscale settings but providing a resource ID for our WebApp. I have already got the credentials required for making a connection (using a browser window popup for Active Directory authentication, but I understand we can use X.509 management certificates for non-interactive programs).
This is the request I'm trying to make. Credentials already established, and an exception is thrown earlier if they're not valid.
AutoscaleClient autoscaleClient = new AutoscaleClient(credentials);
var resourceId = AutoscaleResourceIdBuilder.BuildWebSiteResourceId(webspaceName: WebSpaceNames.NorthEuropeWebSpace, serverFarmName: "Default2");
AutoscaleSettingGetResponse get = autoscaleClient.Settings.Get(resourceId); // exception here
The WebApp (let's call it "MyWebApp") is part of an App Service Plan called "Default2" (Standard: 1 small), in a Resource Group called "WebDevResources", in the North Europe region. I expect that my problem is that I am using the wrong names to build the resourceId in the code - the naming conventions in the library don't map well onto what I can see in the Azure Portal.
I'm assuming that BuildWebSiteResourceId is the correct method to call, see MSDN documentation here.
However the two parameters it takes are webspaceName and serverFarmName, neither of which match anything in the Azure portal (or Google). I found another example which seemed to be using the WebApp's geo region for webSpaceName, so I've used the predefined value for North Europe where our app is hosted.
While trying to find the correct value for serverFarmName in the Azure Portal, I found the Resource ID for the App Service Plan, which looks like this:
/subscriptions/{subscription-guid}/resourceGroups/WebDevResources/providers/Microsoft.Web/serverfarms/Default2
That resource ID isn't valid for the call I'm trying to make, but it does support the idea that a 'serverfarm' is the same as an App Service Plan.
When I run the code, regardless of whether the resourceId parameters seem to be correct or garbage, I get this error response:
<string xmlns="http://schemas.microsoft.com/2003/10/Serialization/">
{"Code":"SettingNotFound","Message":"Could not find the autoscale settings."}
</string>
So, how can I construct the correct resource ID for my WebApp or App Service Plan? Or alternatively, is there a different tree I should be barking up to programatially manage WebApp scaling?
Update:
The solution below got the info I wanted. I also found the Azure resource explorer at resources.azure.com extremely useful to browse existing resources and find the correct names. For example, the name for my autoscale settings is actually "Default2-WebDevResources", i.e. "{AppServicePlan}-{ResourceGroup}" which I wouldn't have expected.
There is a preview service https://resources.azure.com/ where you can inspect all your resources easily. If you search for autoscale in the UI you will easily find the settings for your resource. It will also show you how to call the relevant REST Api endpoint to read or update that resorce.
It's a great tool for revealing a lot of details for your deployed resources and it will actually give you an ARM template stub for the resource you are looking at.
And to answer your question, you could programmatically call the REST API from a client with updated settings for autoscale. The REST API is one way of doing this, the SDK another and PowerShell a third.
The guide which you're following is based on the Azure Service Management model, aka Classic mode, which is deprecated and only exists mainly for backward compatibility support.
You should use the latest
Microsoft.Azure.Insights nuget package for getting the autoscale settings.
Sample code using the nuget above is as below:
using Microsoft.Azure.Management.Insights;
using Microsoft.Rest;
//... Get necessary values for the required parameters
var client = new InsightsManagementClient(new TokenCredentials(token));
client.AutoscaleSettings.Get(resourceGroupName, autoScaleSettingName);
Besides, the autoscalesettings is a resource under the "Microsoft.Insights" provider and not under the "Microsoft.Web" provider, which explains why you are not able to find it with your serverfarm resourceId.
See the REST API Reference below for getting the autoscale settings.
GET
https://management.azure.com/subscriptions/{subscription-id}/resourceGroups/{resource-group-name}/providers/microsoft.insights/autoscaleSettings/{autoscale-setting-name}?api-version={api-version}
