Azure app Service Created Date
Azure Resources Created Date
Issue:
· Get the list of
resource with created date
· Web App Created
date
· How can I know when
my web app is created?
Solution:
It is not
possible to get the web app created date directly.
You can check
relevant details on Activity Logs.
Through
activity logs, you can determine:
· What operations were taken on the resources in your
subscription
· Who started the operation?
· When the operation occurred
· The status of the operation
· The values of other properties that might help you research
the operation
I just created
one web app and able to see the activity logs. You can also check who created
it in “Event Initiated By” columns
But Activity
log has limitation as it retained logs only for 90 days. You can query for any range of
dates, as long as the starting date is not more than 90 days in the past.

I have
investigated and observed that there is no REST API exposed for the web
app’s created date property hence we have to think about the alternative way to
achieve this.
And one of the
most important feature which can help us here is the “TAGS”
TAGS are used
to organize your azure resources.
You apply tags
to your Azure resources giving metadata to logically organize them into a
taxonomy. Each tag consists of a name and a value pair.
For example,
you can apply the name "Environment" and the value
"Production" to all the resources in production similarly you can have “CREATED
DATE” tag with the date value.
After you apply
tags, you can retrieve all the resources in your subscription with that tag
name and value. Tags enable you to retrieve related resources from different
resource groups. This approach is helpful when you need to organize resources
for billing or management.

Once you create
tags for “created date” than you can get the list of all your web app/App
Services along with the created date.
You can go to
your subscription -> resources -> Edit Columns
You can see the
filter name “Tags”
Once you select
the Tags and move it to right section then then tag column appear in the filter
and you can see the list of all web app along with “created tag” value.
I understand
that it is not possible to add tag every time when someone create a web app
hence you can use Azure
Policy to enforce tagging rules and conventions. By creating a
policy, you avoid the scenario of resources being deployed to your subscription
that don't comply with the expected tags for your organization. Instead of
manually applying tags or searching for resources that aren't compliant, you
can create a policy that automatically applies the needed tags during
deployment. The following section shows example policies for tags.

You can simply
apply tag and it’s default value.
