I am unable to install an extension for an Azure App Service running on Linux. Per the Dynatrace documentation, there isn’t an extension for this. How do you use Dynatrace for this type of App Service? ---

Is there not going to be an answer to this? We’re finding ourselves in the same position where we are unable to monitor these PaaS apps because we chose to deploy them to Linux. ---

No, the extensions option is grayed out. You also can’t add extensions through Kudu. ![22484-1574086771971.png](https://global.discourse-cdn.com/dynatrace/original/2X/f/f45d3177964294af61c8747392adf4824db0e841.png) ---

Extensions in general are not supported for App Services on Linux. However, there is a workaround which isn’t supported by Dynatrace. It is based on the runtime OA script for Kubernetes and Docker. The Azure App Service on Linux is essentially a Docker container. The Java image used is a “musl” type. I’ve created a basic script which will deploy OA under /home; this must be done in this directory as any changes outside of it will be lost when the container restarts. ---

I tried doing something like this, more as a test, but it couldn’t get access rights to the .Net dll so it wouldn’t report on the process itself just the container. ---

Is your app Java or .NET? We are using Java in ours and was able to deploy OA successfully to our PROD and TEST environments. Also, In your application environment, you have to add "LD\_PRELOAD=\<\*/agent/lib64/liboneagentproc.so\> path And then restart your application. Let me know if you need/want to talk about this offline. ---

Our app is an [ASP.NET](http://ASP.NET) Core app. Thank you for your assistance thus far. I’ll continue to toy around with it and see if I can make any progress and if not I might just take you up on your offer. Again, thank you! ---

Hi Josh - I have same requirement for [ASP.NET](https://answers.dynatrace.com//ASP.NET) Core app on Linux. Did yours work out? ---

This is what has been provided by Dynatrace support. I tried a few times and it works quite well. You would need to do the following steps: -) Set 3 environment variables via the Azure Portal -) Download and execute a script from us -) Set 1 environment variable via the Azure Portal -) Restart the WebApp For this approach Dynatrace prepared a script which is comparable to our buildpacks: [https://github.com/DTMad/azure\_webapp\_linux/blob/master/dynatrace\_installer.sh](https://github.com/DTMad/azure_webapp_linux/blob/master/dynatrace_installer.sh) In this script do the following steps: 1. Download the agent 2. Install the agent 3. Set the standalone.conf file Steps to do The customer needs to set the following environment variables through the Azure Portal: DT\_TENANT - only the tenant ID (skj22538), not the entire URL ([skj22538.live.dynatrace.com](http://skj22538.live.dynatrace.com)) DT\_API\_TOKEN – It needs to be a PaaS Token DT\_API\_URL – needs to be the tenant URL followed by /api (ie [skj22538.live.dynatrace.com/api](http://skj22538.live.dynatrace.com/api)) Then the customer needs to ssh to his container and execute the following command: wget [https://raw.githubusercontent.com/DTMad/azure\_webapp\_linux/master/dynatrace\_installer.sh](https://raw.githubusercontent.com/DTMad/azure_webapp_linux/master/dynatrace_installer.sh) && bash dynatrace\_installer.sh This downloads the script mentioned above and runs it. After the agent installation is finished the customer then needs to set another environment variable via Azure Portal: ‘LD\_PRELOAD’ The value for variable ‘LD\_PRELOAD’ will be this path: NOTE: Let’s make sure the path in LD\_PREDLOAD is correct, otherwise OneAgent will not load. I hope this helps ! ![1600856247072.png](https://global.discourse-cdn.com/dynatrace/optimized/2X/0/05a251798bc42de22b9d9de35e9578ee5df94e2a_2_690x55.png) ---

Thanks for share the solution. This is to install OneAgent after a container is built. In other words, if the appservices are swapped to another image, then we lost the OneAgent. Wonder if this can be included in the dockerfile to install during the container build time. ---

Is Dynatrace going to find the solution for this or we have to tell our customers to use the Native tool instead of Dynatrace? ---

Hi Juan, The GitHub link to the installer script doesn’t seem to work - It has probably been removed. Do you know where I can find it? Francois ---

Hi [@bill\_scheuernst](https://community.dynatrace.com/user/8813) . I’m not able to install it in non-containerized Linux AppServices solutions. It seems that for Linux AppServices, it is only possible for containers. --\> > **[Integrate OneAgent on Azure App Service for Linux and containers](https://docs.dynatrace.com/docs/ingest-from/microsoft-azure-services/integrations/azure-appservice/integrate-oneagent-on-web-app-for-containers)** > > Learn how to install, configure, update, and uninstall OneAgent in containerized applications on Linux.

In the last year, i have had clients follow the documentation for linux in Azure and it worked perfectly for Azure app services.
