We recently ran out of memory on our sites under an Azure App Service Plan. This threw a "Memory Resource Exhausted" error on all Apps. Clicking "CPU Percentage and Memory Percentage" shows a spike to 82% in last 24 hours. Navigating to "Metrics per Instance (App Service Plan)" I get a visual of all Web Apps.. Adding up ALL their Working Set in MBs added up to 22% at time of 82% App Service Plan usage. This SO answer suggests viewing memory usage in Kudu. Does Azure Dashboard or Kudu have any way to show a break down of specifically "App Service Plan" memory usage? Go to Diagnose and Solve

Asp.net 5 has a new configuration system which utilizes json files for settings. You have to manually select the json file you want loaded as your configuration with the .AddJsonFile(string fileName) method of the new Configuration class. Meanwhile, in Azure land we've got this nifty CloudConfigurationManager class which is supposed to handle grabbing settings from the Azure Website settings or the active web.config if a Azure setting is not found. But how are these two things intended to work together? I'm having trouble finding any documentation. I'd like to manage my settings in Azure for

In the Windows Azure (Preview) Management Portal you can change the configuration options for web sites (see http://www.windowsazure.com/en-us/manage/services/web-sites/how-to-configure-websites/#howtochangeconfig ). I currently set the connection string for my ADO.NET Entity Framework connection via Web.Release.Config, but I want to set it via the Management Portal, but no matter what I use, I always end up with the following error: The specified named connection is either not found in the configuration, not intended to be used with the EntityClient provider, or not valid. It does work for

I have checked that in the web response the server is IIS when I deploy ASP.NET5 to azure web app, so I guess the IIS platform handler is used to redirect it to Kestrel. So I am wondering if it is possible to run directly on Kestrel, and what benefits/drawbacks will that have (probably regardless if it's in Azure or not). I suppose it will be a bit faster since IIS will be excluded from the pipline, but it should not be too much overhead I suppose... Maxime Rouiller On Azure Web App, you cannot bypass IIS. But in the general case, you can definitely run Kestrel directly. It is after all just

I have an Azure webjob that I want to invoke from an Azure website. I want to pass string parameters from the website to the webjob. I know I can invoke the webjob as a REST API ( https://github.com/projectkudu/kudu/wiki/Web-jobs ). So I can invoke the webjob without any parameters: POST jobs/triggered/myjobname/run But adding parameters at the end doesn't appear to be working, i.e. jobs/triggered/myjobname/run?myparam1=value1 The information I see on using attributes in Microsoft.WindowsAzure.Jobs for binding doesn't mention my case, just binding to Azure storage items ( http://blogs.msdn.com

I am getting a 500 Internal Server Error when deploying our ASP.NET 5 web application to an Azure Web App. How do I get the details and stacktrace for this exception? I have done the following but with no luck: Using the diagnostics error page on startup: app.UseErrorPage(); Setting ASPNET_ENV in Azure portal: Using DNX beta 6. In case this helps someone, I've found out that if you're using ASP.NET RC1 and you're using Azure WebApps and add an App setting called Hosting:Environment with a value of development a stack trace for server 500 errors will display. For this to work the Configure
