Logic app creates random containers in storage account

Michael Løhde Nielsen 20

Hi,

I have recently created a logic app flow to extract some data from a Power BI File.

The flow is working perfectly, it is running a query against a power BI dataset, creating a CSV, and uploading the CSV to blob.

However, every time the flow runs, it creates these random containers with some JSON files.

I have attached a picture with the flow and my storage account Skærmbillede 2023-09-14 131328

Thanks in advance

If you have any questions please reach out.

@Michael Løhde Nielsen Thanks for reaching out. How have you confirmed the logic app created those containers and blob files?

As per your screenshot I can see you are using upload blob action so that would be only creating the blobs and not container.

To confirm if logic app creates those containers, I will suggest you to review your run history action to validate the same.

Hi,

Yes I have confirmed it. When I run the logic App, it creates the container. And the creation time of the container also matches the run time of the logic app

@Michael Løhde Nielsen Have you looked into the run history to validate the same in your input/output action. If you are not able to validate from the run history action I can connect with you to review your workflow.

Hi again,

Sorry for the delay in my response. Although I created a new logic app, and that solved the problem :)

These files (In a container) appear in conjunction with logic app standard and the built in blob connector (at least in the example I have)) , I think in relation to uploading large blobs. I can ask internally - because in my case they seem to persist in the storage account linked to the logic app (webjobs storage) after the app has run. My example is a stateful logic app. so it could be related to the state that's stored but i was unable to find any docs to clarify the point

Any additional information as to how this occurs (or how to prevent it)? I'm having this issue and can't seem to narrow it down to a specific workflow or event that is causing the containers to be created.

Just to hopefully give more context to find a fix: I am using a standard logic app, with the built in blob connector (not v2), and the workflows are all stateful as well.
