Azure Function App - Error: Encountered an error (ServiceUnavailable) from host runtime

Syed Muhammad Hani 30

I am trying to deploy an Azure Function in python to a Function App, but I keep getting this error message in logs. Service Health shows no issue, I've double checked all connection strings, and checked the available solutions which suggest removing WEBSITE_RUN_FROM_PACKAGE from settings. This same function app was previously working fine, started having this issue two days ago.

Logs for the error as as follows:

Syncing triggers...
9:42:56 AM extract-attachment1: Syncing triggers (Attempt 2/6)...
9:43:07 AM extract-attachment1: Syncing triggers (Attempt 3/6)...

9:45:34 AM: Error: Encountered an error (ServiceUnavailable) from host runtime.

The issue is resolved. It was caused by a library in requirements file, which had an OS level dependency. In my case it was psycopg2. I had to define the binary file name for psycopg2 instead of it's version name in the requirements file, and the issue was resolved.

In my case it was a bad secret config missing in key vault

Amazing the self diagnose really helped

Then at the bottom I saw:

Usually I have seen bug in azure function app and logic app. I have re-created function app and problem was resolved. Microsoft will never accept that there is an issue with their host

In my case, I had set a timeout in the host.json file that was too large compared with the consumption plan.
Reducing the timeout value to an acceptable value solved the problem
