Monitoring Azure App Service
Overview
Azure App Service hosts web applications, REST APIs, and mobile backends.
To get started with monitoring Azure App Service, install the Azure integration for metrics and logs, and Azure App Service instrumentation for APM and custom metrics.
Azure Integration
The Azure integration provides enriched metrics and resource metadata for Azure App Service, and are required for the Azure App Service View in Datadog. Follow the Azure integration setup instructions to install the Azure integration.
Additionally, set up Azure log forwarding to automatically collect and send Azure App Service resource and application logs to Datadog.
Azure App Service Instrumentation
To monitor Azure App Service workloads with APM and custom metrics, install instrumentation on your Azure App Service workloads. This instrumentation is available for both Windows and Linux App Services, and supports the following runtimes on Basic, Standard, and Premium plans:
Capabilities:
- Fully distributed APM tracing using automatic instrumentation
- Customized APM service and trace views showing relevant Azure App Service metrics and metadata
- Manual APM instrumentation to customize spans
Trace_ID injection into application logs- Custom metrics with DogStatsD
