Issues with AzureRmWebAppDeploment v230

Post author By Luki
Post date 2023-11-09

We deploy from Azure DevOps YAML pipelines to Azure App Services. We use msdeploy packages for this. In calendar week 45 of 2023, we discovered issues in our deployment pipeline. The pipeline started failing unexpectedly in various places.

The error message “ERROR_USER_NOT_AUTHORIZED_FOR_DEPLOYMENTPROVIDER” and details “Could not complete an operation with the specified provider (dbDacFx) when connecting using the Web Management Service.” were not very comprehensive for me, especially because it stopped working suddenly from one day to the next. Additionally, most of the linked help articles mainly relate to IIS.

This is the error we found in our pipelines in full.

##[error]Error: Error Code: ERROR_USER_NOT_AUTHORIZED_FOR_DEPLOYMENTPROVIDER
More Information: Could not complete an operation with the specified provider ("dbDacFx") when connecting using the Web 
Management Service. This can occur if the server administrator has not authorized the user for this operation. dbDacFx

Sitecore Error

I am familiar with this error from working with Sitecore.

[Error] Cannot load Counter Name data because an invalid index '' was read from the registry.

However, you may encounter this error when running your own applications and experiencing difficulties accessing the performance counters in Windows.

PHP Cron Push Monitoring

I run a cron job every 5 minutes to execute background processes. Once they have successfully completed, I execute the following PHP function to verify their success and measure the execution time. If the execution fails, it sends me a push notification indicating that the push/heartbeat was not received within the expected timeframe. I monitor the push timeframes on statuscake.com.

There are many tools available, but not all are for the same purpose. I will collect here what I tend to use and build know-how on.

SuperBenchmarker for Loadtest

SuperBenchmarker is similar to Apache Benchmark (ab.exe). It will display both ongoing real-time updates as well as a final result in HTML and on the command line. It can be easily installed with Chocolatey.

With the ability to parameterize SuperBenchmarker, it’s a quick and simple way to run a test right from your machine.

Ich bevorzuge Links die nicht klickbar sind. Daher schalte ich diese Option immer aus im Notepad++.
