How to restart App Service Plan

Question

The iPhone app has an option to "restart" a service plan. Can anybody tell me where this is located in the portal? I can't seem to find it.

Answer 1

You can do this only via API

POST https://management.azure.com/subscriptions/{subscriptionId}/resourceGroups/{resourceGroupName}/providers/Microsoft.Web/serverfarms/{name}/workers/{workerName}/reboot?api-version=2022-03-01

This will restart the single machine. So if you have two instances you need to run it for each instance separately.

I recommend trying the option Try it from the documentation.

Answer 2

I think we now have a way to do that (without requiring a direct API call as suggested by @krzysztof-madej in his answer). The current location seems a bit strange to me, but you can choose any app currently running within the plan, then navigate to Monitoring > Health Check > Instances. Then you can click Restart to restart the specific instance of your plan.

Answer 3

In the Azure portal go to your App Service Plan. In the left menu click Apps under settings. Then click on your app to open the app's settings. There you will have an option to restart the App
