Azure function blob trigger firing twice

Question

Hi,
when I place a blob in container in a specific virtual directory, my azure function is supposed to fire. It does, and it does so twice. When I look in Azure Monitor, i see only one execution, but I can observe two of them in Application Insights. Also I can see that two requests are generated. How to resolve this?

I can see someone had a similar issue in the past, but I'm not working with event grid.

Answer 1

Hi,

Thanks for reaching out to Microsoft Q&A.

Are you sure the cause of event trigger (placing a blob in container in a specific virtual directory) happened only once?

There's a nice answer from 'Mayank bargal' in the below link (it is for email trigger but both involve azure function multiple triggering issue) which analyzes all the combinations that would cause multiple triggers, please go through.

Answer 2

Thank you, it appears we have already another function working (which is something that I did not think would happen so early), so the root cause is there were two functions running, one on my account and then another one.

Issue: You observe that your function app fires twice when you upload the blob to the configured container.

Resolve: You found that there were two functions that was causing this behavior.
