Windows Azure Web App - Schedule Application Pool Recycle

I have a Windows Azure Web App.

I need to adjust the Application pool recycle so that it occurs every day at 03:00 uk time rather than the default 29 hours.

How can I achieve this?

1) create file named: applicationHost.xdt

2) insert override for the pool recycling time i.e.:

<?xml version="1.0"?>
<configuration xmlns:xdt="http://schemas.microsoft.com/XML-Document-Transform">
  <system.applicationHost>
    <applicationPools>
      <add name="yourappname" xdt:Locator="Match(name)">
        <recycling xdt:Transform="Insert" >
          <periodicRestart>
            <schedule>
              <clear />
              <add value="03:00:00" />  // + adjust for server time/ UTC
            </schedule>
          </periodicRestart>
        </recycling>
      </add>
    </applicationPools>
  </system.applicationHost>
</configuration>

3) upload the file into your app /site root:

enter image description here

4) Hard stop and start your service/app (restart will not take effect!)

5) You may check this resource for more info on .xdt file
