Run a scheduled job in Azure app service using Quartz.net

Question

Hi,

I am using a .Net console app (A) deployed in Azure app service to run a scheduled job using Quartz.net library. The job is configured to execute another .Net console executable (B) during the trigger. But executable(B) randomly stops execution in the middle. I also see "Hosting Starting" message in app service log every 3 minutes. Appreciate any guidance on this.

Hello ,

the issue you are facing can be related to different issues, your app service may be timout or restarts,try to scale up or out your app service and test again .

maybe also there is some exceptions that you are not seeing for that you may need to enable :

1-loging and monitoring : https://learn.microsoft.com/en-us/azure/app-service/monitor-app-service?wt.mc_id=MVP_328341
2- env configuration
3- Permissions

By the way,app services are not designed to run long-runing background processes , you may want to look to

1- Azure functions with time trigger :https://learn.microsoft.com/en-us/azure/azure-functions/functions-bindings-timer?tabs=python-v2%2Cisolated-process%2Cnodejs-v4&pivots=programming-language-csharp?wt.mc_id=MVP_328341

2- WebJobs : https://learn.microsoft.com/en-us/azure/app-service/webjobs-create?wt.mc_id=MVP_328341&tabs=windowscode

Hope this helps.
