Is it possible to remotely profile Azure Websites using DotTrace?

Question

I have seen a few articles on using DotTrace with Azure Cloud Services, but not Azure Websites. Is it possible?

Thanks in advance.

Answer 1

The following approach works: http://blog.jetbrains.com/dotnet/2012/12/11/remote-profiling-web-applications-with-dottrace-performance/

You will have to install the NuGet package and enable it and then attach to a URL similar to http://myapp.azurewebsites.net/AgentService.asmx.

Answer 2

Azure Web Apps, API Apps and WebJobs can now be remotely profiled directly from Visual Studio 2015 or through a the kudu dashboard / REST API
