Add the Splunk AppDynamics Azure Site Extension Using an ARM Template

You can deploy the Splunk AppDynamics Azure Site Extension to Azure App Services using an Azure Resource Manager (ARM) template. This procedure uses Visual Studio Community 2017.

To create and deploy an ARM template:

  1. From your web application in Visual Studio, choose File > New Project.
  2. Click Cloud, then click Azure Resource Group, then click OK.
  3. From the Select Azure Template dialog box, click Web App, then click OK.
  4. Under your newly-created Resource Group, click the Website.json file.
  5. Under JSON outline in the left pane, right-click resources, then choose Add New Resource.
  6. In the Add Resource dialog box, select Application Settings for Web Apps, enter a name, then click OK.
  7. Under the properties section, enter your Controller information.
    The following example shows the Website.json file with the application properties for Splunk AppDynamics.
  8. Add a new resource for the Site Extension, as shown in the following example: 
    {
      "apiVersion": "2015-08-01",
      "name": "[variables('webSiteName')]",
      "type": "Microsoft.Web/sites",

      },
