How do I automatically install New Relic extension using Azure ARM Template? - azure

Question

I am using a azure arm template to create a web app in azure. Now I need to install New Relic Extension in the webapps which will be created using this template. So I was unable to find specific json format. Please help me out!

Answer 1

Please have a try to add the json code snipped in the ARM template.
"resources": [
{
"apiVersion": "2015-08-01",
"name": "NewRelic.Azure.WebSites",
"type": "siteextensions",
"dependsOn": [
"[resourceId('Microsoft.Web/Sites', variables('webSiteName'))]"
],
"properties": {
}
}
],
I created a demo for it. The following is my detail steps. About the name of the extension please refer to the NewRelic.Azure.WebSites.
1. Create an Azure Resource Group Project.
2. Select the Web App project template
3. Just demo for web site extension so I delete the unnecessary resource
4. Add the snipped code in the ARM template
5. Deploy the website via Visual Studio
6. Check the Website in the Azure portal
The demo ARM template:
{

"dependsOn": [
"[concat('Microsoft.Web/serverfarms/', parameters('hostingPlanName'))]"
],
"resources": [
{
"apiVersion": "2015-08-01",
"name": "NewRelic.Azure.WebSites",
"type": "siteextensions",
"dependsOn": [
"[resourceId('Microsoft.Web/Sites', variables('webSiteName'))]"
],
"properties": {

}
],
"properties": {

"serverFarmId": "[resourceId('Microsoft.Web/serverfarms', parameters('hostingPlanName'))]"
}
}

}

Answer 2

"resources":[{
"apiVersion": "2018-11-01",
"name": "NewRelic.Azure.WebSites.Extension",
"type": "siteextensions",
"dependsOn": [
"[resourceId('Microsoft.Web/sites', variables('appServiceName'))]"
]
}]
The name is now NewRelic.Azure.Websites.Extension. You should give your App Service Name in the variable appServiceName in this case.
