How do I configure Azure to let my cloud service make an outbound API call

My cloud service works locally when I debug it, but when I deploy it, I know it has database access because database updates are taking place.
It seems like the service is not able to call make calls to the Yammer API on port 443 for SSL (is that right?)
https://www.yammer.com/api/v1/messages.xml?older_than=[MinMessageID]
That is one example, but all the calls start with everything up to
https://www.yammer.com/api/v1
Is there a firewall setting I need to create so that my cloud service can make outbound calls?
Thank you for any help.

How do I tell my clients to configure the connectionstrings for a cloud service?

I have an application that exists in two forms
A Windows Service
A Clouse Service with a Web Worker Role
Both applications have an encrypted connection string in the app.config;
for clients using the Windows Service I know how to tell them to change the config file.
For a cloud service is it possible to edit the configuration file?
I read something about Azure Settings, but I can't find any good information about that, is that the preferred method for setting environment settings in a Cloud Service?
Can you remote in to a VM or whatever hosts the Cloud Service?
Thank you for any help. I am writing the documentation about how to setup the Azure environment and I realized I don't know myself, I only know how to publish with Visual Studio to a cloud service with the values already set. That works, but I can't
tell a client to use Visual Studio.

Hi,
For a cloud service, though it is possible to access instance VMs and do changes on their file system by RDP sessions, but it is not recommended, as you will end up loosing your changes if role instance VMs are restarted.
If you really want to keep certain settings configurable and which will be shared by all your role instances, best way to do is to utilise the cloud service configurations, typically you mention these settings in .cscfg file and you can also edit those using
azure management portal.
You can also access those from your code
string settingValue = CloudConfigurationManager.GetSetting("SettingString");

How to get the Memory Utilization Data for Cloud Service

Hi,
We are planning to monitor the Performance of Cloud Services hosted onto Azure through VisualStudioOnline [TFS]. However, I couldn't find any performance metric for Memory utilization on individual Cloud Service.
So please help how can we monitor Memory utilization on individual Cloud Service hosted through VSO.
Thanks.
Regards,
Subhash Konduru
Please remember to mark the replies as answers if they help and unmark them if they provide no help.

If you are using the VSO then you can take a look at azure application insights which is a service hosted on azure which will help you to detect issues, solve problems and continuously improve your web applications.

Is it possible to configure size disk for a Cloud Service?

Is it possible to configure size disk for a Cloud Service?
What happens is, I have deployed a Solr Server on a Cloud Service, and the application folder is on E: Drive, but it is only 1.5 GB. I want to increase it, because index content created easily exceeds this limit.
Thank you.

hi Luis,
Base on my experience, E drive is the app disk. The apps (application) disk is where your .cspkg is extracted and includes your website, binaries, role host process, startup tasks, web.config, and so on. It is only 1.5G (http://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/library/windowsazure/dn197896.aspx
). So I think you didn't worry about its space.

Azure VM Web Servers, Cloud Service and SSL?

I am deploying two web servers in a cloud service for load balancing. I have tested and I have that working with no problems. My question is how do I setup for SSL? Do I setup a certificate on the cloud service? Do I setup on each server? Any help would
be greatly appreciated!!

Hi,
You could use the following link to configure SSL for your Cloud Service:

Can an Azure VM Query Its Cloud Service Namd and Public IP Address

Is there some way to write a script or application that would run on an Azure VM and could query to find out the DNS Name (externally visible hostname) for the VM and the external/public IP address?
I started looking at Azure Extensions, but it looks like they're intended to be run from a management system somewhere, rather than being initiated by code on the Azure VM. Correct me please if this is wrong. I'm dead new to this area, never looked at Azure
until yesterday.
Thanks!

hi,
You could not directly query the cloud service name and public IP from one azure VM. Base on my experience, you may need add the service management API cert to your VM and call the Service Management APIs (
http://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/library/azure/ee460799.aspx) to query the cloud service information.Please see this code sample about how to use apis (http://code.msdn.microsoft.com/windowsazure/CSAzureManagementAPI-609fc31a
) . Hope this helps.

How to get baseURL to make Adobe connect API call?

I have to use Adobe connect API, for this i have created account on adobe, but not able to make API call due to base URL like COMPANYNAME.adobeconnect.com
Woluld you please help to get this url or where to get this?
Thanks.

You say you have an account set up? The URL should be the same URL as was used to access the server to create your account. If you don't know what that is, your Connect admin should be able to help you identify it.
If you don't have a Connect account, you can purchase one through adobe.com, https://service.acrobat.com/cfusion/bots/purchase/index.cfm, or you can contact a reseller, http://www.adobe.com/products/adobeconnect/strategic-partners.html.

How do I configure Dial-plan redundancy - Priority

Hello
I am setting up Dial Plan to single Destination PREFIX to 2 seperate gateway (not under my control).
1st Gateway as 8 PSTN line
2nd Gateway has 4 PSTN line
how do I configure my cisco 3620 gateway that will allow me to route calls to 1st Gateway as long as all 8 PSTN lines are available.
I know if you configure preference under dial plan like the one below
dial-peer voice 88021 voip
destination-pattern 8802T
session target ivp4:x.x.x.x
preference 10
dial-peer voice 88022 voip
destination-patter 8802T
session target ipv4:y.y.y.y
preference 9
but this does not work as long as IP network is fine. I need as solution that will allow me to route calls to 2nd gateway if PSTN interfaces are all full/busy
These 2 destination gateways are not under my control therefore, I can't request them to use my gatekeeper.
Any other solution that I can try in my gateway
Faisal

This will work. The clal will be routed to the first gateway with prefernce 9 and then if the call fails, the call will be routed to the second gateway with prefernce 10.
The only trick is the call has to fail with an error message which will tell the gateway to hunt. For example user busy will not cause the gateway to hunt. No cirucit or channle, no resource, no route to destination etc will all make the gateway hunt.
You can on the other hand use advanced busyout on the remote gateways to tell the originating when the interfaces are busy.

Hi,
The Azure Diagnostics capability supports the configuration of diagnostics information than can be captured locally on a role instance and then persisted to Azure Storage on some timescale, this only support Azure Cloud service, I think it is useful for
us to analyze the performance, if you don't want to use it, please try to use
Azure Monitoring Service API, for more information, refer the below articles.

Windows Azure Cloud Service Downtime alert

Hi,
One of the Cloud services that we have deployed on Windows Azure Cloud services using Azure Worker role is unexpectedly transitioning to Stopped state. There doesn't appear to be any valid reason behind this and it runs normally after we switch to
running state from portal.
Is it possible to develop some alert service which informs the Administrator or configured alert users that the Cloud service has shut down ? We tried to configure the Windows Azure alert but the metrics & logging doesn't seem to match with Cloud service
downtime. Please let us know what is the diagnositics or logging option which we should make use to come up an optimal design for the Alert system.
Thanks in advance,
Deepesh

Hi,
From my experience, several operations in the Service Management API permit you to manage your cloud service either by referencing a deployment by its deployment name, or by referencing the deployment environment (staging or production) in
which the deployment is running. Refer to
http://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/library/windowsazure/ee460812.aspx for more information about Operations on Cloud Services, we can do lots of things via this API, in “Get Cloud Service Properties” section, it has a “RoleInstanceList” property, refer to
http://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/library/windowsazure/ee460806.aspx#bk_roleinstancelist for more information about
RoleInstanceList. In this article it has PersistentVMDowntime property, the detail information as following.
PersistentVMDowntime
Specifies information about when the Virtual Machine has been started and stopped.
The PersistentVMDowntime element is only available using version 2012-03-01 or higher.
Hope this helps, if this didn’t give you help, please feel free to let me know.

Track cloud service configuration changes

I've cloud service and if you go to the azure portal and click on cloud services ->choose service -> click on configure . you see the setting which you put in VS cloud service MVC project like following:
This configure settings was configured and deployod from the cloud service in VS MVC project (which have cloud service) when you click on cloud service click on your MVC project and click on specific role and than you have screen of cofigure
/settings /endpoints etc ,and you put the setting like key val in the setting view
which reflect in the azure portal when you deploy the cloud service in the cloud service configuretion screen.
User can change this config setting values in the portal and I want to track it,If I go the the managment services I can
see all the changes in the azure cloud service (caller id ,operation ID etc and there is option to see detailes but this is not sufficent) ,I want to see which
property was changed and the old values.
1.There is event which is invoked when user change this configuration in the portal,if yes which event and how should I get this data
2.I want to find which field was changed and what is the old value... ?
3.in the managment service you can see the operation ID ,can I get from it somehow addional data?
I've read the following (and more about diagnostic )but not find how to do that...
http://msdn.microsoft.com/library/azure/dn186185.aspx
I guess I need to do it by code so any example will be very helpful!

I found the this which when I change conifgration I see it in the operation name
ChangeDeploymentConfigurationBySlot
But how should I use it I didnt understand it...Im new to azure ...

"Failed to debug the Windows Azure Cloud Service project. The Output directory .... does not exist" - Looking for Solution Config Name Folder?

Good evening,
I've been working on and with a VS2013 Update 2 / Azure SDK 2.3 Cloud Service project for a while now and never had a problem debugging it (setting the .ccproj Project as Startup Project) but at the moment I cannot Debug it anymore - I always get the following
error message:
Failed to debug the Windows Azure Cloud Service project. The output directory 'D:\Workspace\Development\Sources\AzureBackend\csx\Backend - Debug' does not exist.
Now what's odd here, is the last part - the "Backend - Debug" is the Solution configuration name, ALL projects in that particular solution configuration are set to the Debug Configuration. The .ccproj file also only specifies Debug|Any CPU (and
Release|Any CPU respectively) as its output folder(s). Why is the Solution config appearing up there?
And more importantly.. why is this happening and what can I do?!
Thanks,
-Jörg
Ps: there seems to be a related
connect bug and these sorts of issues do appear around the forums but none contains a solution (neither reinstalling the Azure SDK nor cloaking the workspace/re-retrieving & building everything worked).

Good morning Jambor,
I already tried de-installing everything Azure-Tooling related including the Azure SDK, Restarting my machine and re-installing the SDK.
Same result. I can build the .ccproj perfectly fine and the cspack file IS generated perfectly fine, only debugging does not work and there's NO information in the VS output window (again - all projects succeed to build).
I tried explicitely running VS as Administrator, no change. I removed all IIS Express sites (as the ccproj has one web worker role), remapped my local TFS workspace.. nothing helped.
As building works, deploying to Azure Cloud Service (manually and via Publish inside VS) all works -perfectly-, I am pretty sure this IS a bug and I'd LOVE to help to get this fixed. As I said, currently I cannot debug and/or run & test my work, hence
I cannot do ANY work.

How do I fetch projects from OEPE when the status of my Developer Cloud Service is 'unknown'

The status of my Oracle Developer Cloud Service has become 'unknown' since last March 30.
Even though the status is 'unknown', I created two project on the Service Console(Developer Cloud Service web interface) and they look fine.
But when I try to fetch the projects that I created on the Service Console from Oracle Cloud view of OEPE, nothing was fetched except my database service.
I assume that because of the status, OEPE can't fetch the projects.
If anyone knows how to solve this problem or any workarounds, please let me know
To be brief, the things I want to solve are followings
How to recover the status of my Developer Cloud Service as ‘Active’ again.
How to fetch the project that I have created on Developer Cloud Service Portal from Oracle Cloud view of OEPE.
Thanks.

Hi,
When you log in to MyServices, are you able to successfully open the web ui for Developer Cloud Service (Open Service Console)? Do you see your projects listed in the Developer Cloud Service web UI?
In the OEPE Cloud View, were you able to provide your Cloud credentials successfully? username, password, identity domain and US Commercial 2 for the data center
Also, which version of OEPE are you using?
Thanks,
Greg
