Azure Installation
This page shows the Hdiv agent installation options in the Azure Cloud services, such as Azure Virtual Machines, Cloud Services or Azure App Services.
The installation file for Azure Virtual Machines is an msi file, and for Azure App Services, it is a NuGet package.
Azure Virtual Machines or Cloud Services¶
The installation steps for Azure Virtual Machines or Cloud Services are the same as for on-premises installation. It is necessary to open a remote desktop session and install the msi file provided.
Steps for the on-premises installation.
Azure App Services¶
In order to install the agent in an application deployed in Azure App Services, a new NuGet dependency is included in the application.
Package to include: Hdiv.AST.Profiler
Package compatibility
The same package is valid for Full Framework and NetCore applications.
Azure App Services Limitations
Azure installation has some limitations compared to the on-premises installation. .Net agent does not support framework 3.5 or lower and CLR2. Check the general requirements.
Step 1¶
Hdiv provides a repository to access this package. It is necessary to set up the NuGet repository using the credentials provided by the Hdiv support team. Repository configuration steps.
Step 2¶
Once the repository is configured, add the Hdiv.AST.Profiler package reference to the application:
- From Visual Studio - in the application project References, Manage Nuget Packages, search for Hdiv.AST.Profiler and add it to the project.
- From .NET CLI -
dotnet add package Hdiv.AST.Profiler --version x.y.z
Build the application to check the Hdiv agent package is installed properly.
Step 3¶
Deploy the application on Azure App Services as usual. Ensure Hdiv agent installation is correct by checking that a new folder called 'hdivsecurity' exists in the application root folder.
Step 4¶
It is necessary to add some environment variables to set up the Agent.
Add them from the Azure portal application settings page.
Restart the application to apply the changes.
Step 5¶
Once the application restarts, there are two ways to check the agent is running properly:
- Check server and application are registed in the Hdiv Console.
- Review agent logs, for example using Kudu. Find log files in
D:\home\site\wwwroot\hdivsecurity\logsor/home/site/wwwroot/hdivsecurity/logsin case of Linux App Service.
Disable the agent by changing the CLR_ENABLE_PROFILING or CORECLR_ENABLE_PROFILING property from 1 to 0.
