This article shows you how to use Azure Spring Apps diagnostics.
Azure Spring Apps diagnostics is an interactive experience to troubleshoot your app without configuration. Azure Spring Apps diagnostics identifies problems and guides you to information that helps troubleshoot and resolve issues.
To complete this exercise, you need:
- An Azure subscription. If you don't have an Azure subscription, create a free account before you begin.
- A deployed Azure Spring Apps service instance. For more information, see Quickstart: Deploy your first application to Azure Spring Apps.
- At least one application already created in your service instance.
-
Sign in to the Azure portal.
-
Go to your Azure Spring Apps Overview page.
-
Select Diagnose and solve problems in the navigation pane.
