Setting Up The Scene – The Security Providers Send Security Alerts from Microsoft cloud to 3rd party SIEM.

CLOUDAPP STATUS SERIES

This is the third blog post of the series and earlier ones can be found from securecloud.blog site: Even though there are new capabilities launched to the security solutions that make security analysts’ life easier such as Microsoft Defender ATP automatic investigation and remediation you still need to manage incidents and alerts in the Microsoft 365 security solutions. Using blog post is all about alert management in M365 security solutions. The following PowerShell statements disable certificate validation for the current PowerShell session: add-type System.Net If your probe is using the HTTPS protocol, you may need to disable certificate checking to avoid SSL/TLS errors during your test. Reconfigure the Traffic Manager probe to point to a path that returns a 200. To resolve the problem, check the website configuration to ensure that the proper StatusCode can be returned from the probe path. Traffic Manager changes the endpoint status to Offline.

As stated previously, any StatusCode other than 200 is considered a failure. Notice that we received a redirect response. Invoke-WebRequest '' -MaximumRedirection 0 -ErrorAction Silentl圜ontinue | Select-Object StatusCode,StatusDescriptionĮxample output: StatusCode StatusDescription The following PowerShell example illustrates the problem. There are many tools available that show you the raw HTTP response.Īlso, you can use the Network tab of the F12 Debugging Tools in Internet Explorer to view the HTTP responses.įor this example we want to see the response from our probe URL.

CLOUDAPP STATUS CODE

To troubleshoot a probe failure, you need a tool that shows the HTTP status code return from the probe URL. This behavior ensures that problems with the probing mechanism do not result in a complete outage of your service.

If all endpoints in a profile are degraded, then Traffic Manager treats all endpoints as healthy and routes traffic to all endpoints.

Or you could attempt to access database resources or session state to make sure that the web application is working. For example, you could use performance counters to CPU utilization or measure the number of failed requests. A better option would be to set a path to a something such as '/Probe.aspx' that has logic to determine the health of the site. This probe may not indicate that your web application is healthy. In the previous example, by setting the path to '/favicon.ico', you are only testing that w3wp.exe is responding.

A best practice is to set the probe path to something that has enough logic to determine that the site is up or down.

Dynamic content, like the ASP pages, may not always return 200, even when the application is healthy. Probing a URL to some static content like '/favicon.ico' is a common technique.

The actual content of the probe path doesn't matter, as long as a 200 is returned.

For HTTPs probes, certificate errors are ignored.

Traffic Manager does not probe the redirection target.

A 30x redirect response is treated as failure unless you have specified this as a valid response code in Expected status code ranges of your Traffic Manager profile.

If you application returns any other HTTP response code you should add that response code to Expected status code ranges of your Traffic Manager profile.

Traffic Manager considers an endpoint to be ONLINE only when the probe receives an HTTP 200 response back from the probe path.

If the health of your Traffic Manager displays an Inactive status, then both end points may be Disabled: If the health of your Traffic Manager displays a Degraded status, then the status of one or more endpoints may be Degraded: For this scenario, consider that you have configured a Traffic Manager profile pointing to some of your hosted services. Refer to Enable resource logs for more information. As a first step in troubleshooting a Azure Traffic Manager degraded state is to enable logging.
