How to link traffic manager and dns

hide 1

Thank you for your help.

I'm trying to build a Sorry screen using Traffic Manager.
Below are the traffic manager settings.
app uses public ip and sorry uses azure functions.

name	status	monitor status	type	priority
app	Enable	Online	Azure endpoint(pip)	1
sorry	Enable	Online	Azure endpoint(functions)	2

This setting looks like it's working as expected.
Because there is a time lag when app is stopped, but traffic is being sent to sorry.

The problem for me is that I don't know how to tie the traffic manager to dns.
The app dns currently in use is <name>.japaneast.cloudapp.azure.com created from azure.
I think I need to add http: //<name>.trafficmanager.net to the CNAME or A record in order to associate the traffic manager with this dns.
Is this recognition correct?
If they match, how can they be linked?

Does anyone know the answer to this question?

@hide Thank you for reaching out to Microsoft Q&A.

I understand that you are trying to link Traffic Manager (TM) to the DNS name-<name>.japaneast.cloudapp.azure.com of the App on Azure. Please refer to the given document here that describes how to create alias records for TM. Here are the steps-

Create an alias record that points to the Traffic Manager profile.

Select your Azure DNS zone to open the zone.
Select Record set.
Leave the Name text box empty to represent the domain name apex. An example is contoso.com.
Leave the Type as an A record.
Select the Alias Record Set check box.
Select Choose Azure service, and select the TM-alias-test Traffic Manager profile.

If this is not what you are looking for, please explain further so we can help you with the same. Hope this helps.
