# Azure Support Case - App Service Incident
## Case Summary
| Field | Value |
|-------|-------|
| **Title** | Web App HTTP 500 - myapp-prod |
| **Severity** | 🔴 Critical |
| **Problem Start Time** | 2026-01-24T21:14:40Z |
| **Current Status** | Ongoing |
## Azure Context
| Field | Value |
|-------|-------|
| **Subscription ID** | 463a82d4-1896-4332-aeeb-618ee5a5aa93 |
| **Subscription Name** | MySubscription |
| **Tenant ID** | <tenant-guid> |
| **Resource Group** | myapp-rg |
| **Resource URI** | /subscriptions/.../sites/myapp-prod |
## App Details
| Field | Value |
|-------|-------|
| **App Name** | myapp-prod |
| **App URL** | https://myapp-prod.azurewebsites.net |
| **App Service Plan** | myapp-plan (P1v3) |
| **Runtime Stack** | .NET 8 |
| **Region** | eastus |
| **Slots** | production, staging |
## Problem Description
Web App `myapp-prod` is returning HTTP 500 errors for approximately 30% of requests.
Application Insights shows increased exception rate starting at 21:14 UTC.
## Initial Triage Outcomes
| Check | Result |
|-------|--------|
| App State | ✅ Running |
| HTTP Ping | ❌ 500 errors |
| App Service Plan | ✅ Healthy |
| CPU Usage | ⚠️ 78% (elevated) |
| Memory Usage | ✅ 45% |
| Instance Count | ✅ 3/3 healthy |
## Suggested Root Cause
**Database connection pool exhaustion**
Application logs show repeated `SqlException: Timeout expired. The timeout period elapsed prior to obtaining a connection from the pool.`
## Evidence Summary
| Timestamp | Source | Entry |
|-----------|--------|-------|
| 21:14:40 | AppLogs | SqlException: Timeout expired |
| 21:14:42 | AppLogs | Connection pool limit reached |
| 21:15:01 | Platform | HTTP 500.0 - Internal Server Error |
## Recommended Fix
1. Scale out to reduce load per instance:
```bash
az webapp scale -n myapp-prod -g myapp-rg --instance-count 5
- Or restart to clear connection pool:
az webapp restart -n myapp-prod -g myapp-rg

Issue Detection
Automatic checks when running /apps status or /apps diagnose:
- App state (Running/Stopped)
- HTTP health (ping default hostname)
- HTTP error rate (Http5xx metric in last hour)
- Response time (AverageResponseTime > 5s warning)
- Memory utilization (MemoryWorkingSet trending high)
- Instance count (NumberOfWorkers vs expected)
- Recent deployments (failed deployments)
- Certificate expiry (< 30 days warning)
- App Service Plan limits (quota usage)
- Slot swap status
Common Issues Detected
| Issue | Detection Method | Auto-Fix Available |
|---|
| App stopped | az webapp show --query state | az webapp start |
| High memory | MemoryWorkingSet metrics | Restart or scale |
| HTTP 5xx spike | Http5xx metrics | Diagnose logs |
| Slow response | AverageResponseTime metrics | Scale out |
| Deployment failed | Deployment history | Redeploy previous |
| SSL cert expiring | Certificate check | Alert only |
| Cold start issues | Function App metrics | Warm-up config |
| Slot swap failed | Activity log | Manual intervention |
