Foglight for Microsoft DOT NET 5.9.13 - Installation and Configuration Guide

Installing and Configuring Foglight for Microsoft .NET Managing .NET Agent Configurations

Installing and Configuring Foglight for Microsoft .NET

Many .NET system developers and production specialists need a .NET analysis tool because their application is not meeting specific performance requirements. Complete Product Name without Trademarks provides 24x7 monitoring to help you detect and resolve performance issues in your application server infrastructure and in the applications running in that infrastructure.

Foglight for Microsoft .NET monitors the health of your web servers and application servers, and their host operating systems, in your integrated environment. The .NET agent collects the data and sends it to the Nexus (a central analytical engine). The Nexus correlates the data and sends it to the Foglight Management Server. For more information, see Instrumented agents.

Foglight for Microsoft .NET includes a set of monitoring and configuration dashboards, as well as several rules that notify application and system administrators about performance problems. This guide discusses the dashboards in the context of the tasks you can perform from them.

These topics contain information about the system requirements and takes you through the installation procedure, step-by-step.

Instrumented agents

An instrumented agent collects performance information from .NET domains and passes this data to the Foglight for Microsoft .NET Management Server through the Nexus and the Agent Manager. At the application level, service request agents use bytecode instrumentation to measure method-level performance information. At the server level, agents monitor the application server metrics through vendor-provided interfaces. At the .NET run-time level, agents monitor various metrics; at the operating system level, they monitor platform-level metrics. You can create agents to monitor servers after you install the cartridge file on the Management Server.

Understanding the .NET agent architecture

There are two configurations for .NET agent:

1
The Performance Counters agent. This agent collects periodic metric data and requires:
•
A Foglight Agent Manager (FglAM) installed on the host.
•
IIS Management Scripts and Tools must be installed on the monitored host in order for the .NET agent to collect WMI metrics.
2
The Transactions and Performance Counters agent. This agent collects both periodic metric data and request trace data and requires:
•
The same configuration as specified for the Performance Counters agent.
The installer also installs the AgentHost.exe Windows® service that acts as a controller for the .NET agents embedded in the individual application pools on the monitored system.
•
AgentHost. exe requires .NET 4.0 installed on the host, but .NET 4.0 is not required to be part of your monitored application runtime environment.
