Unable to resolve (502) Bad Gateway error in Azure App Service

We have an App Service Plan (P2v2: 1) that has 6 .Net Core Web API's & 2 Web Jobs deployed.

Of late, 1 of the Web API periodically starts emitting (502) Bad Gateway error. The error seems to resolve on it's own or we need to restart the App Service.

The Avg CPU % we saw was 42.x % and Avg Memory % was around 32.x %

This is really driving us nuts because we don't see any Application errors.

We are badly in need of hints to resolve this issue because this is running in Production.

502 errors can be multiple things.

  • there's a chance you're exceeding the maximum tcp connections for the plan (standard s3 while has an older hardware it contains the double of p2v2)

  • it can be timeout in your app too.

  • also check if you're using HttpClientFactory rather than HttpClient as it will reuse connections from the pool

The maximum IP connections are per instance and depend on the instance size: 1,920 per B1/S1/P1V2 instance, 3,968 per B2/S2/P2V2 instance, 8,064 per B3/S3/P3V2 instance.

The best thing you can do is inspect the diagnose and solve issue and select 500x error and analyze the report.
