I have web api deployed on azure. One of the action methods of the web api is failing. To reach that specific action method users have to log in first. Is there any official guide available that can help me do the debugging process for web api? Do I need to deploy both web app and web api in order to attach the debugger to the app service or should I use just postman to make api call?

  2. The above answer is very details on how to attach debugger using w3wp.

    I think you should start enabling HTTP logging and eventviewer logs to better understand the cause of failure.
