Created LogicApp is missing from the Azure Portal but still running

I created an Azure Logic App via the portal. This was working. The logic app is configured to send an e-mail every 24 hours. Now the logic app is still running, because the e-mail is sent, but when I search the logic app in de Azure Portal it does not show.

I still see the deployment log of this logic app in the resource group, but also when I click there to 'go to resource' it gives a 404:
Status Message: The Resource 'Microsoft.Logic/workflows/<name>' under resource group '<rg-name>' was not found. For more details please go to https://aka.ms/ARMResourceNotFoundFix

How is this possible? And how to resolve?

    Ok, I resolved it myself. For other people stumbling to this question or Microsoft Engineers who read this, I think this happened:

    • I created a logic app with name eg. MyLogicAppTest;
    • Something went wrong so I deleted this logic app and created a new one with the same name;
    • This logic app was created and I configured it;
    • When I tried to reach this logic app later on, it was not visible anymore.

    I think the deletion of the logic app was not yet finished completely when I re-created the logic app. So something of this newly created logic app was deleted, maybe only the registration. The logic app keeps running, but is not reachable.

    What I did to resolve:

    Create a new logic app, with exact the same name 'MyLogicAppTest'. This is valid to do because Azure does not have a logic app with this name registered. However, when this logic app is created, the history of the old logic app appears!!! So I have my old logic app back!

    I wonder what would have happened if another user tried to create a logic app with this name... would he have gotten into my logic app as well?

    @Tom K Thanks for reaching out and apology for the inconvenience due to this issue.

    This looks like the race condition where multiple operations were performed, and the resource creation would take some time and only once the resource is created would it be visible in the azure portal. There could be ARM sync issue where the resource would not be visible, or the client browser where the old bit is getting from the cache. Hard refresh the page would sometime solve the issue if not then we can wait for some time and till the resource is successfully created and propagated.

    It would be difficult to point out the root cause as I tried to reproduce the issue at my end but couldn't reproduce it and this would need troubleshooting from the backend and client end to know the root cause of the issue.

    To answer this: I wonder what would have happened if another user tried to create a logic app with this name... would he have gotten into my logic app as well?

    No if someone else tries to create the resource with the same name that it will not allow them to create it with the same name if the name already exists. Only people who have the right access to view that resource in that particular subscription can view them.
