AcaLens
Stop juggling the Azure Portal, CLI, and Log Analytics. Manage secrets, revisions, logs, scaling, and more — from one lightweight desktop app.
One app replaces the Portal workflow. No browser tabs. No CLI flags.
Stop switching between the Azure Portal, CLI sessions, and Log Analytics. AcaLens lets you browse, configure, and manage your Container Apps from a single, fast desktop app — with full read and write support.
Navigate your entire Azure Container Apps estate from a single sidebar. Pin your most-used apps, switch tenants, and jump to any panel with ⌘K. No browser tabs. No CLI windows. Just a fast, keyboard-driven desktop app.
AcaLens combines real-time log streaming, Log Analytics queries with filters, and a raw KQL editor — all in a single panel. No more context-switching between the Portal's log stream, Log Analytics workspace, and Application Insights.
Need to inspect a running container? AcaLens gives you a full xterm.js terminal — pick a revision and replica, choose your shell, and you're connected. Similar to kubectl exec, but with a graphical interface.
See all your revisions with traffic weights and health status. Activate, deactivate, or restart any revision — rollback is one click, not a multi-step CLI process. Edit traffic split weights with sliders, and compare any two revisions side-by-side to see exactly what changed.
No portal blades, no CLI flags. Add, edit, and delete secrets and environment variables directly. Reveal values on demand, copy to clipboard — Key Vault references are detected and linked automatically.
Edit min/max replicas, add HTTP and TCP scaling rules, or configure custom KEDA triggers — all inline, no YAML required. The Portal can't even do managed identity auth for KEDA; AcaLens can.
Enable managed identity, create RBAC role assignments, and toggle Easy Auth — without jumping between three different Portal blades. Everything scoped to your container app in one view.
List all Azure Container Registries in your subscription. Drill into repositories and tags with digest + age metadata.
Cascading dropdown: pick registry → repository → tag. No more switching to the ACR blade to copy an image reference.
Update the container image on any app and deploy — without leaving the app. Manage registries with managed identity or credentials.
Image pull issues are among the most common ACA problems. AcaLens gives you an integrated Azure Container Registry browser — browse registries, repositories, and tags, then deploy directly to your container app. No Portal tab-switching.
