I've a group of asp.net 4.0 Websites runing in Azure Websites
- Compute mode: Standard
- Location: North Europe
- Capacity autoscale: Off
- Instance size: Large
- Instance Count: 1
The response time is very slow, the trafic is normal, but my log show many AppDomain shutdowns (more than 3 in one minute). My websites load data in cache during de Application_Start to give a rapid response to all subsequents requests but if the Appdomains restarts every time is impossible to give acceptable response times.
The ShutdownReason values are many:
- ConfigurationChange
- HostingEnvironment
- CodeDirChangeOrDirectoryRename
- BinDirChangeOrDirectoryRename
- BrowsersDirChangeOrDirectoryRename
This have no sense because I've not changed any file in these folders.
I've tested one of these sites in a free mode running very fast and without any unexpected AppDomain restart.
Thanks.
Update:
I've included this code in the Application_Start, no file changes have been detected and the AppDomain is restarting again, and again...
var monitorPath = HostingEnvironment.MapPath("~/");
Application.Add("watcher", new FileSystemWatcher(monitorPath));
fsw = (FileSystemWatcher) Application["watcher"];
fsw.EnableRaisingEvents = true;
fsw.IncludeSubdirectories = true;
fsw.Changed += fsw_Changed;
fsw.Created += fsw_Created;
fsw.Deleted += fsw_Deleted;
fsw.Renamed += fsw_Renamed;

Update 07/19/2013:
The metric Data-In is very high and has no relation with the requests metric, but when I configure the setting fcnMode=”Disabled” the data-In immediately down to normal values accord with the traffic.
