How can I ping from "Spring Apps"?

Question

I cannot ping from a Spring app. I am using the service "Sping Apps". It does not work from a Java application or from the console. When I try to ping from the console, I get the message: "/usr/bin/ping: Operation not permitted". How can I allow ping in Azure Spring Apps?

Robin Thanks for posting your question in Microsoft Q&A. Ping command uses ICMP protocol, and this is not permitted through Azure Load balancer and hence you got the above error. Check out blog: Use port pings instead of ICMP to test Azure VM connectivity related to this discussion.

I assume you are looking to perform some network connectivity tests from Azure Spring Apps console. If so, follow the steps described in https://techcommunity.microsoft.com/t5/apps-on-azure-blog/investigate-azure-spring-apps-networking-issue-with-the-new/ba-p/3693455 and you can use ncat command (or pre-installed tools such as nslookup etc.) to test TCP/UDP connection. If you are looking for any other scenarios, please share the additional context and details.

I hope this helps and let me know if you have any questions or face issues.
