Use DataDog Integrations with Azure App Service

[jamyspex]

Hi guys, hope you're well!

At FlipDish we're avid users of DataDog, many of the integrations you offer and the aas-extension! We'd really like to combine all 3 and make use of the ASP.NET integration with our app services, is there anyway we can do this?

I have read the configuration instructions for the integration and I am familiar with the integration configuration process, having configured the SQL Server integration on a standalone agent we host. However, from the docs and having a root about myself I don't see any way to do this configuration while using the Azure App Service extension. I know that the extension runs an agent instance on the app service hosts so I'm just wondering if there is a way to configure it to perform integration checks?

The other option, as I see it, would be to configure a stand alone agent to remote into the app service host and perform the checks - I can see there are configuration options for this in the aspnet.d conf example. However, I don't think Azure users have this level of access to the underlying app service hosts, but would be glad to be proved wrong on this! 😄

Keen to get your thoughts and advice on how best to proceed with this.

Cheers, James.
