Azure provides built-in diagnostics to assist with debugging an App Service app. You can send your logs from your App Service to Storage Accounts, Event Hubs, or Log Analytics. This blog will guide you step-by-step to enable AppServiceHTTPLogs , AppServiceAppLogs and view them in Log Analytics. Step 1: Go to Azure Portal > App Service > Diagnostic Settings and enable the required settings you would like to send to the destination . In this blog I have taken an example of HTTP Logs and App Service Application Logs in a Windows App Service ( .Net Core ). You can refer this doc for more details on supported log types. Step 2: I…

Azure Application Gateway can connect to a backend application via Azure Private Link Service (PLS). For more information, see Application Gateway Private Link. Private Link for Application Gateway allows you to connect workloads over a private connection spanning across different virtual networks and Azure subscriptions. When configured, a private endpoint will be placed into a defined virtual network's subnet, providing a private IP address for client applications looking to communicate to a service behind an Application Gateway. For a list of other PaaS services that support Private Link functionality, see What is Azure Private Link?. This article shows how to us…

Today, we're thrilled to introduce you to Ed Burns, Microsoft's Principal Architect on the Java Tooling and Experiences team. Ed has an extensive background in client and serv…

Partitioning by First Letter: When partitioning by first letter, we can either create a computed column on the first letter or use a range partition. However, the most elegant solution is to use only the letter itself, as it follows a predictable order regardless of the length of the key field. As a bonus, I’m showing here how you can load the data in parallel to different letter-based tables and then switch in those tables to unified tables. This will enable you to load data very fast, more details in another blog post that I wrote (Efficiently Generating and Loading 1 Billion Rows into a Relational Database Content in just an hour - Microsoft Community Hub). …

Welcome to the “Director’s cut” of the 2022 Windows Server Summit. I am going through and posting each of the sessions (and my comments) that were part of the event that took place December 6th, 2022. This is the kick off video that was a modified approach to a keynote that I did with Roanne Sones, Corporate VP of Azure Edge + Platform. We decided to go a more informal route and make it more conversational instead of a pre-recorded prompter type keynote you've seen far too many times before. We discuss what's top of mind for customers, how Windows Server is being used, and how Microsoft can help with modernization and innovation. It was a fun chat! Don't ta…

Additionally Enterprise or educational media is becoming more professional and end users, without noticing, create content on a daily basis when you take meeting recordings into account. As the volume of video content continues to grow, it is becoming increasingly difficult to manage and search through these video archives manually. This is where Azure Video Indexer comes in – it is a powerful service that allows organizations to index their video ar…

Bonjour, je m’appelle Hamidou TESSILIMI. Je suis étudiant en 4ème année à Epitech et également un Bêta Microsoft Learn Student Ambassador. Depuis ma première année, j’utilise GitHub pour rendre la quasi-totalité de mes projets. Dans la majorité des cas, pour gérer un projet à plusieurs, il faut au moins un outil de communication comme Slack ou Discord et un outil de gestion de projet comme Trello, Jira ou encore GitHub Projects. Dans cet article de blog, nous parlerons de la manière dont on peut gérer un projet avec GitHub Projects. Mais avant ça, parlons d’abord de GitHub et des différentes fonctionnalités qu’il propose. GitHub, qu’est-ce que c’est ? GitH…

Hello howdy readers It has been a while since my last post, and I decided that the time of writing a new one will come up. In this new blog post I am going to explain how to use dynamic threshold in log alerts. Think for a second, that you need to create an alert that must, at the same time, apply to more than one resource and react to different thresholds. The solution is inside the power of the Kusto Query Language or KQL. This language offers several operators and functions that allow us to manipulate data to extract values, extend fields and compare values with thresholds. Let’s take as an example, the data collected through VM Insights. It collect…

There is a common scenario that customers want their app service being allocated inside private network and cannot be accessed by public network. Therefore, they usually enable private endpoint as well as configure Access Restriction to deny all the public traffic. When the private endpoint is enabled and public traffic is denied to the web app, all the public traffic to this app is cut off. Since there is a range of IP addresses where agents are deployed, they have a public IP. Obviously, these agents are unable to reach web app. As a solution, we can either allow the IP ranges list in the firewall or use self-hosted agents to deploy. You may check b…

By the time of writing this article, the Logic App Standard SQL Connector does not have the functionality to monitor the row version of SQL Views so it can't be triggered by a change in the View's data, which would have allowed us to configure a trigger on a View in SQL. Until it gets rolled out, we are exploring a way in this article to imitate this functionality. The SQL built-in trigger (SQL Server - Connectors | Microsoft Learn) is based upon tracking update on SQL table and tracking cannot be enabled for SQL views. Azure SQL trigger uses SQL change tracking functionality to monitor a SQL table for changes and trigger a function when a row is created, updated, or d…

Issue: Few platform logs and metrics go missing when streaming them from Diagnostic Setting to Event Hub especially when Event Hub is Throttling.

The Windows Cloud Experiences team is happy to announce that as of April 2023, all newly provisioned Cloud PCs will now be encrypted at the host level using Azure’s host-based encryption capabilities. To provide the best in class zero trust protection, all levels of the stack, Windows 365 will now encrypt the physical Azure server that your Cloud PC is allocated to. How it works and at what cost All data is encrypted at rest and flows encrypted from the host to the storage service, where it’s persisted. Essentially, encryption at host encrypts your data from end-to-end. Encryption at host doesn’t use your Cloud PC's CPU and doesn't impact your Cloud PC's performan…

Modern applications require the capability to retrieve modified data from a database in real time to operate effectively. Usually, developers need to create a customized tracking mechanism in their applications, utilizing triggers, timestamp columns, and supplementary tables, to identify changes in data. The development of such applications typically requires significant effort and can result in schema updates resulting in considerable performance overhead. Real-time data processing is a crucial aspect of nearly every modern data warehouse project. However, one of the biggest hurdles to overcome in real-time processing solutions is the ability to ingest efficientl…

Using .NET code to resolve “Remote certificate is invalid” when multi-tenant web app is configured as client in client-server model. You can implement the server thumbprint in the .NET application code to resolve “Remote certificate is invalid” when multi-tenant web app is configured as client in client-server model and making HTTS request to a server configured with a private CA. When a web app acts as a client and makes an HTTPS call to an external server secured by a private CA, the web app uses its default installed trusted root CA’s public key to validate the server’s certificate. However, the remote server certificate is signed by a private CA, and si…
