Uninstalling the eG .NET Profiler

Follow the steps below to uninstall the eG .NET Profiler on the Microsoft Azure App service:

1. Go to the SCM web site of the .NET web application that is being traced by the eG .NET Profiler. For that, use the URL: https://<Name_of_web_application>.scm.azurewebsites.net. For instance, if the .NET web application being monitored is egdemoapp, then the SCM URL of the app will be: https://egdemoapp.scm.azurewebsites.net. Once the web site opens in the Kudu console, choose the CMD option from its Debug console menu (see Figure 1).

2. When Figure 2 appears, navigate to the location of the eG_dotNETBTM package you had installed earlier. This will be D:\home\site\eG_dotNETBTM. The contents of the package will be listed as depicted by Figure 2.

6. Figure 5 will then appear. Keep scrolling down the options listed in the left pane of Figure 5, until you find the Extensions option. Alternatively, you can type Extensions in the Search text box on the top of the left pane. Doing so, will automatically take you to the Extensions option. Once this option becomes visible, click on it.

10. Now, log out of the Azure portal. Once again, go to the SCM web site of the .NET web application that is being traced by the eG .NET Profiler. For that, use the URL: https://<Name_of_web_application>.scm.azurewebsites.net. Using the Kudu console that opens, navigate to the location of the eGHelperAssembly.dll. This will typically be in the D:\home\site\wwwroot\bin folder. Once you switch to that folder, the contents of the folder will be listed (see Figure 9).
