Request for Native Support for PHP Applications on Azure App Service

See this idea on ideas.ibm.com

Dear Instana Team,

We would like to request native support for Azure App Service running PHP applications. Our current workaround involves installing the Instana agent in the startup script as a Linux agent. This approach is not convenient for our operations and significantly impacts efficiency.

The main challenges we face with the current setup include:

  1. Agent Recycling: The agent is recycled on each Azure App Service restart or scaling in and out operations, which results in spawning a new instance with a different name. This makes it difficult to track and monitor the lifecycle of each App Service container effectively.

  2. Agent Identification: Since the agents follow hostnames by default—over which we have no control—it becomes challenging to determine which agent corresponds to which application.

If native support cannot be provided immediately, we would appreciate:

  1. A method to instruct the agent to reuse the same log space created by a previously destroyed agent, ensuring continuity in monitoring and tracking.

  2. The ability to name agents explicitly, allowing for better identification and management across applications.

Your assistance in addressing these issues will greatly enhance our operational efficiency and monitoring capabilities.

Looking forward to your response.
