Locking numbers in calendar
Hi,
I have 3 tabels where i need the total sum of them to be put in a calender.
I would like it to be automatic but I don’t know how.
I already have the total sum of the tabels. But now I need something to put them into a calendar for save keeping.
Is there any way to put them in the calender automatically?
Please ask any question if I’m onclear on anything.
Thanks in advance.

Value not shown in grid but shown in edit window.
Hi all,
I seek you advise, I have a calculated column in date format.
For some reasons I don’t get the result in the grid view.
However it is in the edit window
If I change column type from ‘Date and Time’ Date only to single line of text; then it is displayed in grid but as a number like 45517.
Why is it not showing when it is a date ???
Thanks

Event trigger not running the pipeline might be due to event grid, need assistance on creation
Hi,
I created a trigger which supposed to run a pipeline once new file arrived.
It seems like my trigger has no issue and the problem is that I don’t have an existing event grid for that trigger.
Now, I’m trying to create an event grid subscription but I’m receiving the error below.
I don’t know if I’m using the correct Endpoint as I’m just formatting it to the existing event subscription in our Azure.

Azure Linux Web App and http server
The advantage of using open-source solutions is that you can access many up-to-date features (e.g., using Python and related packages to operate big data models). However, the downside is that sometimes you need to understand the system architecture a bit, not just the code itself. This article will introduce how to perform initial port configuration on an Azure Linux Web App and how to modify default values.
TOC
HTTP Server and Startup Script
backend example: python
frontend example: node
HTTP Server and Startup Script
Azure Web App (App Service) exposes ports 80/443, with 443 being the encrypted port commonly used. This means that regardless of which port your locally developed application listens to, you need to perform port forwarding when deploying to the Web App.
A typical Windows Web App has an IIS built-in as the HTTP server, listening on port 80 by default. Regardless of the stack used (e.g., node, php, .net), IIS serves as the HTTP server. Therefore, since the web app has pre-configured forwarding rules on the platform side, users are not aware of the HTTP server and port forwarding during the operation.
However, the situation is different for Linux Web Apps. Different stacks have different HTTP servers (e.g., node can use pm2, php can use nginx, python can use uvicorn, etc.). The same HTTP server can also be used for multiple stacks (e.g., nginx can be used for php or python). Some languages can even start a simple server for port listening through an interpreter and corresponding modules (e.g., python with http.server). This makes it important to understand which HTTP server your application is running on.
You might recall that in different development environments, you need to enter some commands in the console to start the app before testing an application, such as:
uvicorn app:test –reload
npm start
This is because different tutorials usually use the corresponding HTTP server (or tools with HTTP server functionality) as a prerequisite for starting. Since these tools are constantly updated, the command line instructions or suffix parameters vary greatly. Therefore, a Startup Command feature is needed in Azure Linux Web App to manage these commands.
In the following sections, I will provide two examples and describe how to deploy your application to Azure Linux Web App and run it successfully under different stacks and HTTP servers.
backend example: python
For a Linux Python app, this example uses Python’s http.server package as the HTTP server. The command I use in the local development environment is `python server.py`.
import os
import http.server
import socketserver
from http import HTTPStatus
class Handler(http.server.SimpleHTTPRequestHandler):
def do_GET(self):
self.send_response(HTTPStatus.OK)
self.end_headers()
msg = ‘scale %s’ % (self.path)
self.wfile.write(msg.encode())
port = 8000
print(‘Listening on port %s’ % (port))
httpd = socketserver.TCPServer((”, port), Handler)
httpd.serve_forever()
After confirming the HTTP server and command, you can create a Linux python web app and deploy the code directly.
Remember the port mapping mentioned earlier? Since the python environment provided by Azure Web App forwards port 8000 to the exposed port 443 by default, for this code, you don’t need to set additional port forwarding rules after deployment. Just modify the startup command.
Before actual testing, remember to restart the app.
If your application needs to change the default listening port, for example, to 7999, in this case, besides modifying the corresponding port name in the code, you also need to add `WEBSITES_PORT=7999` in the App Setting to override the default port forwarding rules.
To confirm that your application is indeed listening on port 7999, you can go to the Kudu site and run the command:
netstat -tulpn | grep LISTEN
frontend example: node
For a Linux node app, this example uses pm2 as the HTTP server. The command I use in the local development environment is `npm start`.
npx create-react-app reactfailreact-app
cd reactfailreact-app
npm start
Azure Linux node Web App has a built-in pm2, a lightweight process manager with an HTTP server, suitable for experimentation. You can create a Linux node web app, compile the code, and deploy it.
Since the node environment provided by Azure Web App forwards port 3000 to the exposed port 443 by default, for this code, you don’t need to set additional port forwarding rules after deployment. Just modify the startup command.
Run the following command to compile the project. After execution, a build subfolder will be created.
npm run build
Create or modify `build/.deployment` with the following content:
[config]
SCM_DO_BUILD_DURING_DEPLOYMENT=false
Publish your project, specifying the build subfolder during the publishing process.
Go back to the app, navigate to Configuration, and specify the Startup Command as follows:
pm2 serve /home/site/wwwroot –no-daemon –spa
After restarting the web app, you can visit your webpage using a browser.
If your application needs to change the default listening port, for example, to 2999, in this case, besides specifying the listening port in the startup command, you also need to add `WEBSITES_PORT=2999` in the App Setting to override the default port forwarding rules.
pm2 serve /home/site/wwwroot –no-daemon –spa –port 2999
You can also go to the Kudu site and run the command:
netstat -tulpn | grep LISTEN

Amazing What MS Access is capable of
Having been preparing financial statements for the last 15 years, I have come to appreciate the value of information, and how it helps reflect on your activities and planning for the future through strategy formulation and effective management decision-making. To achieve this efficiently, an organization needs to invest in Information Management Systems, no matter how small. Over the years, I have developed a desktop database using Microsoft Access and I must say this is really one of Microsoft’s most powerful tools but still very much underutilized in business.
Below is my “Business Assist” Accounting Package model which I use for recording my transactions. It aims to address the basic needs of an organization such as:
InvoicingBatch InvoicingInventory ManagementDebtors and Creditors StatementsIncome StatementBalance SheetTransaction Reports and more
The beauty of it, I have customized it to suit my needs and I have all my information in 1 place. There is no need to continue using the counterbook in the 21st century. Let your business evolve.

Defender for Servers (p1 and p2) – Policies? (gpo/intune)
Hello Microsoft and Community members!
I have a very brief question after reading up on Defender for Servers (and Defender for Endpoint) learn pages after the vacations 🙂 (i notice they all had updates). However, there is still no information regarding Defender for Servers and how to manage the EDR system (policies in intunes, GPO or SCCM).
If we enable the Defender for Servers in the Defender for Cloud plane, will all these policies (such as Antivirus, ASR and EDR) automatically be enabled? And if so, which ASR rules are in block mode, which are in audit mode – what server exclusions are on by default? (if any) etc etc.
Intune policies for MDE dont have all settings for servers, so previously we have had to manage everything through MDE onboarding and GPO’s for servers (and intune for desktops). But when setting up Defender for Servers there is not a single mention about any of these settings for the EDR/Antimalware agent (ASR, Antivirus etc etc – i belive there are many tenants that have simply just enabled Defender for Servers in Defender for Cloud and are missing out on everything ASR etc – or?).
Thanks!
Hello Microsoft and Community members!I have a very brief question after reading up on Defender for Servers (and Defender for Endpoint) learn pages after the vacations 🙂 (i notice they all had updates). However, there is still no information regarding Defender for Servers and how to manage the EDR system (policies in intunes, GPO or SCCM).If we enable the Defender for Servers in the Defender for Cloud plane, will all these policies (such as Antivirus, ASR and EDR) automatically be enabled? And if so, which ASR rules are in block mode, which are in audit mode – what server exclusions are on by default?

How much time does it takes to update secure score on Defender portal?
Hi Folks,
I have marked some of the recommended actions on secure score as “third party” or “alternate mitigation”. Even after 10 hours I can see action is still marked as “to be addressed”. How much time does it take for changes to show up there? And also, how much time will it take to get this add up to my cumulative secure score?

Announcing MQTT Support in Azure Web PubSub Service (public preview)
We’re excited to announce the long-requested release of MQTT support in Azure Web PubSub service, now available in preview! This added capability allows developers to leverage the lightweight and widely used MQTT protocol for messaging, making it easier to connect and communicate with devices that have constrained resources.
What is MQTT?
MQTT (Message Queuing Telemetry Transport) is a lightweight, pub/sub messaging protocol designed specifically for low-bandwidth, high-latency, or unreliable networks. It’s an ideal choice for IoT (Internet of Things) devices and other scenarios where resources are limited. Development teams even build chat apps using MQTT protocol.
Now, with Azure Web PubSub’s support for MQTT, you can connect clients running on WebSocket protocol or MQTT (over WebSocket) without worrying about scalability. Better yet, these clients can cross-communicate with each other despite the different protocols used, making it an ideal architectural solution if an application has mixed clients.
Key features of MQTT in Azure Web PubSub
Compliant support for MQTT protocols:
Azure Web PubSub supports MQTT 3.1.1 and 5.0 protocols, allowing any MQTT library with WebSocket transport to connect directly to Azure Web PubSub service. This makes it easy to integrate MQTT with existing systems, regardless of the programming language or platform.
Cross-protocol communication:
With cross-protocol communication, MQTT clients can interact with other clients using different Web PubSub protocols. This feature expands the possibilities for integrating diverse systems and devices within a single communication hub. Find more details here
Seamless adoption for existing Web PubSub customers
Current customers of Azure Web PubSub can adopt MQTT with minimal modifications. The Web PubSub REST API is already equipped to handle MQTT connections, ensuring a smooth transition.
Client-to-server request/response model
In addition to the traditional client-to-client pub/sub model, Azure Web PubSub supports a client-to-server request/response model. Specific MQTT application messages can be converted into HTTP requests, which are sent to registered webhooks. The responses are then delivered back to the MQTT clients as application messages. For more details, see MQTT custom event handler protocol.
Supported features
Azure Web PubSub fully supports MQTT 3.1.1 and 5.0. Features included:
Quality of Service (QoS): All levels, including “at most once”, “at least once”, and “exactly once” .
Message order guarantee
Persistent Sessions: Sessions are preserved for up to 30 seconds during connection interruptions.
Last Will & Testament: Ensures that a final message is sent if a client disconnects unexpectedly.
Client Certificate Authentication
For MQTT 5.0, additional features include:
Message Expiry Interval and Session Expiry Interval
Subscription Identifier
Assigned Client ID
Flow Control
Server-Sent Disconnect
Unsupported features in this preview
Wildcard subscriptions
Retained messages
Shared subscriptions
Authentication and authorization
Azure Web PubSub offers two workflows for authenticating and authorizing MQTT clients:
JWT-Based Authentication: The MQTT client obtains a JWT token and includes it in the WebSocket request. The Web PubSub service then validates the token.
Upstream Server Authentication: After establishing a WebSocket connection, the MQTT client sends a CONNECT packet. The Web PubSub service calls an API on the upstream server to authenticate the client using the username, password, and TLS certificate.
These workflows can be used independently or in combination, providing flexibility in securing your MQTT communications.
Client lifetime event notifications
Azure Web PubSub allows you to register event handlers to receive notifications when an MQTT client session starts or ends, providing greater visibility into your system’s activity.
REST API support
The Azure Web PubSub REST API now supports operations specifically for MQTT clients, including:
Publishing messages to topics, connections, users, or all connections.
Managing client permissions and subscriptions.
Get started today!
We’re thrilled to bring MQTT support to Azure Web PubSub, and we can’t wait to see how you’ll use this feature in your projects. To have a try quickly, check out PubSub among MQTT clients – Azure Web PubSub .
Explore these new capabilities and elevate your applications with the power of MQTT in Azure Web PubSub!

What headless service can use for 40 to 50 microservices Application?
Hello Team,
We have over forty microservices and are using Virtual Machine to deploy our Angular web application and Dot Net Core. Could you recommend a serverless architecture service that we should use to launch our application?
The cost of the service should be lower than the VM design.
