Is it possible to assign different web farm server names?

We have an issue on an Azure environment with the content not being updated on one of the app services. It seems that this is caused by the app services running on the same app service plan and thus having the same name. In the 'CMS_WebFarmServer' table I can see one web farm server with that specific name.

Is it possible to add a custom suffix in the app settings or something? Or how would we solve this problem?

You can specify a webfarm server name with the Appsettings key CMSWebFarmServerName , however by default it is the computer name. If you are on WebApps, this is almost always different, but if you have a VM on azure, then it will be the same.

I don't think you can programmatically (yet) set the webfarm server name, in the future there may be an Options pattern for it, but that i'm just guessing. You would have to set it up in your CI/CD to change that value to what you want.

Hope that helps!

Check! So those app settings do still work! I guess it is just missing in the Xperience by Kentico documentation then!
