We have a website running as a web-app service on Azure. Our CM environment stalls and needs restarted periodically.
While we investigate the cause of this, I'd like to set the application pool to refresh overnight. I can't find anything in the portal to indicate how or where this is done. Can anyone help?
The Kudu service allows you to setup auto healing based on rules for memory, requests, or status code. To get to the dashboard navigate to https://[Your Azure App Name].scm.azurewebsites.net and then click on Tools -> Support and then turn on Autoheal, click Update and then optionally add any rules that make sense.
