Log stream not connecting when app service public access is off

Question

We have a bunch of app services in a virtual network running containers with linux as the OS. When we disable public access (Networking -> Inbound Traffic -> Access Restriction = ON), log stream stops working and is stuck on "connecting...". Turning public access back on everything works as expected. Is this by design?

Hello @Jimmy Anttila !

Welcome to Microsoft QnA!

The behavior you are encountering is expected

The log stream feature in Azure App Service relies on the App Service management endpoint to stream logs from the underlying container or web app. When public access is disabled, the log stream may be unable to establish a connection to the management endpoint, resulting in the "connecting..." message.

In this case you can work with Private Endpoints
