How to proceed and monitor Azure app service

Question

Hello my application is running on Azure (app service). It is dot net platform application. It is consuming database as a service (Azure SQL) Now my app service plan is small standard 1

Also kindly let me know how to check below things:

1. The time when load is high
2. The time when load is less
3. Pages visited most
4. Pages which are slow
5. traffic report
6. Is it scaled automatically without any configuration? Or do I need to put some configuration? (Autoscale upto 10 instances)

I saw monitor option in Azure app service for my app

Help will be appreciated.

According to your description, I suggest you could try to use Application Insights for your web apps. It could help you monitor your web app.

Is it scaled automatically without any configuration? Or do I need to put some configuration? (Autoscale upto 10 instances)

If you want to use auto scale in azure web app, you could set it in the azure portal.

Answer 2

You can check few details through Azure portal. Click on Azure Web App overview blade to see CPU usage, requests etc. You can also check Diagnose and solve problems tab to find out the metrics.

Also, As Brando Zhang suggested, you can configure Application Insights for your web site. For more details, refer to Monitor Azure web app performance .

Auto scale option is not set by default, you need to enable it to configure this feature.

In Azure portal -> Click on Web App -> Settings -> Scale out -> then configure Auto scale

For more details, refer to the documentation Scale instance count manually or automatically .
