Function App Crashing Due to System.Net.Http.HttpRequestException

DJ 50

Hi

I am experiencing recurring crashes on my Azure Function App due to a System.Net.Http.HttpRequestException. The error message indicates an issue with an outgoing HTTP request, and it is causing the function to terminate unexpectedly.

The error message displayed in the Azure portal:
I have never experienced this in the past, but it appears as soon I click on the function app in the portal.

System.Threading.ExecutionContext.RunForThreadPoolUnsafe[[System.__Canon System.Private.CoreLib]] ``` A crash happens when an exception in your code goes un-handled and terminates the process. When your application crashes, all the in-flight requests (request that are currently being processed by the app) are aborted. An end user may experience an HTTP 502 error for those requests. Azure App Service Platform has a **Proactive Crash Monitoring** feature that attaches a debugger to your process and records the call-stack of the crashing thread whenever your process crashes with an unhandled exception. If the above call stack is not helping in identifying the root cause of the crash, you can enable **Crash Monitoring** feature to collect a memory dump when the process crashes.

We have found an issue in the aardraapi application that caused a System.Net.Http.HttpRequestException.

To fix this, please follow these steps:

Verify Network Connectivity:

Ensure the target endpoint is accessible from the application's environment.

Use tools like Postman or curl to send requests and check responses.

Check for any firewall rules or network security groups blocking outbound traffic.

Inspect SSL/TLS Configuration:

Confirm that the SSL certificate of the target endpoint is valid and issued by a trusted authority.

Ensure the application supports the required TLS version to prevent handshake failures.

Handle DNS Resolution Issues:

If the error indicates that the remote name could not be resolved, verify that the DNS settings are correctly configured.

Ensure the domain name is valid and accessible.

Please review these steps and let us know if you need further assistance.

Sorry for my late reply.

This Api is being called by my App, via HTTP. This message has gone away now, so maybe it was temporary .

Is possible we can use some option or Application Insight to send us email when such exceptions occurs?

The error System.Net.Http.HttpRequestException, occurs when an HTTP request fails. The error you have got did it logged in Traces, Do you have the invocation Id of that error?

No worries about the late reply! Glad to hear that the issue seems to have resolved itself.

Yes, you can set up Azure Application Insights to send email alerts when such exceptions occur. You can refer to the following documents for step-by-step guidance:

These should help you set up alerts to monitor and get notified of such exceptions

In application insight, I am not seeing information on this exception. I would like to understand the cause and prior to this firing what happened.
