I want to identify individual Azure app service machines so that I can record info in a database. I was thinking I would use the local ip address of the machine using the function below but I get an empty string returned back. The code works for VM's but not for app services. Any thoughts (especially if these are eventually behind a load balancer and running identical code. (any string is ok... it doesn't have to be an ip address)
public static string GetLocalIpAddress()
{
UnicastIPAddressInformation mostSuitableIp = null;
var networkInterfaces = NetworkInterface.GetAllNetworkInterfaces();
foreach (var network in networkInterfaces)
{
if (network.OperationalStatus != OperationalStatus.Up)
continue;
var properties = network.GetIPProperties();
if (properties.GatewayAddresses.Count == 0)
continue;
foreach (var address in properties.UnicastAddresses)
{
if (address.Address.AddressFamily != AddressFamily.InterNetwork)
continue;
if (IPAddress.IsLoopback(address.Address))
continue;
if (!address.IsDnsEligible)
{
if (mostSuitableIp == null)
mostSuitableIp = address;
continue;
}
// The best IP is the IP got from DHCP server
if (address.PrefixOrigin != PrefixOrigin.Dhcp)
{
if (mostSuitableIp == null || !mostSuitableIp.IsDnsEligible)
mostSuitableIp = address;
continue;
}
return address.Address.ToString();
}
}
return mostSuitableIp != null
? mostSuitableIp.Address.ToString()
: "";
}
