The iPhone app has an option to "restart" a service plan. Can anybody tell me where this is located in the portal? I can't seem to find it.

You can do this only via API

POST https://management.azure.com/subscriptions/{subscriptionId}/resourceGroups/{resourceGroupName}/providers/Microsoft.Web/serverfarms/{name}/workers/{workerName}/reboot?api-version=2022-03-01

This will restart the single machine. So if you have two instances you need to run it for each instance separately.

I recommend trying the option Try it from the documentation.

I think we now have a way to do that (without requiring a direct API call as suggested by @krzysztof-madej in his answer). The current location seems a bit strange to me, but you can choose any app currently running within the plan, then navigate to Monitoring > Health Check > Instances. Then you can click Restart to restart the specific instance of your plan.

In the Azure portal go to your App Service Plan. In the left menu click Apps under settings. Then click on your app to open the app's settings. There you will have an option to restart the App

    I am not looking for a way to restart an app. I am looking for a way to restart the whole "service plan". (The mobile app has this function, one can archive the same thing [or something similar] if you change the pricing tier.) – Thomas Woelfer Nov 07 '20 at 14:04
  • I see, unfortunatly this feature is not available in the portal. Such a feature was [requested in 2017](https://feedback.azure.com/forums/169385-web-apps/suggestions/17826847-restart-app-service-plan-all-web-apps-in-a-plan#:~:text=If%20you%20need%20to%20restart,each%20iteration%20of%20the%20loop.) and declined by the Azure App Service team. – Roderick Bant Nov 07 '20 at 14:10

    Thank you for the pointer to the feedback site. i posted a comment there. Do you happen to know what the "restart service plan" button in the mobild app does? – Thomas Woelfer Nov 07 '20 at 14:21
  • Not 100% sure what the mobile app does exactly, but I suspect it call the `Restart Web App` function [documented in the REST API](https://docs.microsoft.com/nl-nl/rest/api/appservice/appserviceplans/restartwebapps) – Roderick Bant Nov 07 '20 at 14:52
