Service doesnt resume after idle time

Question

I am running a wundiws service that polls an on premise database. Service runs fine as long as there is continuous flow of data, however once there is a gap between records for more than 5 mins, service idles & doesnt resume fetching of records.
Same code works fine when the service is deployed on an on premise Win server.
Is there any setting to be updated on VM?
Any help will be greatly appreciatec

Answer 1

It is possible to set the timeout of VM endpoints up to 30 minutes. By default, the timeout is 4 minutes.

PowerShell command to do this is:

Get-AzureVM -ServiceName "MyService" -Name "MyVM" | Set-AzureEndpoint -Name "MyEndpoint" -IdleTimeoutInMinutes 30 | Update-AzureVM
