Monitor your Linux Web Apps on Azure App Service with Datadog

Azure App Service is a fully managed platform-as-a-service (PaaS) solution that enables developers to quickly build and release services without worrying about infrastructure management. Microsoft has recently released Web App tracing and custom metrics for Azure App Service applications running in Linux environments, supporting various runtimes such as .NET, Node.js, Java, Python, and PHP. This feature allows users to capture distributed traces across their Azure App Service Linux web applications, write and submit custom metrics, and gain quick insights through the Azure Serverless view. Datadog's APM automatically tags errorful spans for surfacing emergent issues, while enabling custom metrics for monitoring specific business KPIs. The Serverless view provides a comprehensive overview of the entire Azure App Service architecture, allowing users to monitor their Linux web applications in context and troubleshoot performance issues efficiently.
