Foglight for Microsoft DOT NET 5.9.13 - Installation and Configuration Guide

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

Filtering application pools monitoring

By default, the .NET Transaction Agent filters out all SharePoint application pools. All other application pools are instrumented.

You can add application pool names to the list of exclusions to filter out certain pools.

To view and edit application pool filtering:
1
On the navigation panel, under Dashboards, click Application Servers > Administration.
2
On the Application Servers Administration dashboard, click the .NET tab.
3
On the .NET view, click the Transaction Agent Configuration tab.
4
On the Transaction Agent Configurations view, click the name of the configuration that you want to work with.
5
In the list that opens, click Manage.
 
The Configuration Settings by Category view opens, displaying a list of the available configuration files.
6
Select iis and click Edit. Read the information in the configuration file to determine the syntax.
 
* 
NOTE: This setting applies only to the .NET Transaction Agent. The .NET Counters Agent continues to monitor the health of the application pools, however, no requests or traces are captured by the .NET Transaction Agent.
7
Save any changes you make.
8
Restart your IIS and any processes for the application pools you are excluding.

Managing .NET agent integration configurations

The Integration Configurations tab of the .NET view provides an overview of .NET agent configurations, including their target hosts and their target applications, and which Nexus connection they are using (if applicable).

Use the Integration Configurations tab for the following management activities for .NET agent integration settings:

•
Viewing and editing .NET integration configurations
•
Editing IIS .NET integration configurations
•
Editing standalone applications .NET integration configurations
•
Editing Windows Services .NET integration configurations
•
Editing .NET thread metrics integration configurations
•
Managing .NET agent Nexus connections
•
Managing collection schedules
•
Increasing WMI polling memory values
•
Preventing WMI quota violations

Viewing and editing .NET integration configurations

You can view and edit an integration from the Integration Configurations tab of the .NET view. These configurations control the monitoring settings for the .NET agent.

To view and edit an integration configuration:
1
Click the name of the configuration (not the name of the target). For example, click .NET Default.
2
In the list that opens, click Properties.
The Integration Configuration Properties dialog box opens, with the IIS tab displayed.
3
Click the tab for the type of target you want to work with. For details of how to use each tab, see the following sections:
•
Editing IIS .NET integration configurations
•
Editing Windows Services .NET integration configurations
•
Editing standalone applications .NET integration configurations
•
Editing .NET thread metrics integration configurations

Editing IIS .NET integration configurations

The .NET Agent monitors for exceptions and performance issues in ASP.NET applications, application pools, and sites running under IIS. By default, the IIS performance counters and application availability metrics are monitored when you create a performance counters agent.

 
* 
NOTE: Using the default values for the WMI Polling Memory Per User and WMI Polling Memory Total, the agent can monitor up to 250 objects total (where objects include sites, web applications, and application pools).

If your environment has a higher object count, see Increasing WMI polling memory values.

If you want to monitor specific objects, you can include or exclude them by name. Use the following procedure to limit the number of monitored web applications, applications pools, or sites. These settings are useful if you have encountered WMI Quota Violations, as described in Preventing WMI quota violations .

 
* 
NOTE: The following procedure assumes that you have an integration configuration open for editing, as described in Viewing and editing .NET integration configurations .
To monitor specific objects:
1
In the Integration Configuration Properties dialog box, ensure that the IIS tab is selected.
2
Confirm that the Integrate with IIS check box is selected.
 
* 
NOTE: Clearing this check box disables all IIS and web application monitoring.
3
Click the down arrow to the left of Advanced — Performance Counter Collection. These settings affect objects that the Counters agent collect. They are only applicable if the IIS has been integrated.
4
Select the tab that corresponds to the type of object that you want to specify settings for: Web Applications, Application Pools, or Sites. The options and procedures for these objects are the same, as described below.
5
On the selected tab, use the drop-down menu to select Specify names to collect.
TIP: If you select Do not collect, only IIS is monitored.
6
Click Add. A blank row appears in the table.
7
Click in each box to toggle or edit the option.
Optional — If you want to create a filter but not use it, click the empty box in the Ignore column. The text IGNORE appears, indicating that the row is being ignored.
a
Click INCLUDE or EXCLUDE to toggle between the two options. The default setting is include.
b
Select the Regex box to define the application name using a regular expression.
c
Click in the Value box to the right of Regex to type the web application name.
8
To add another row, click Add, and repeat Step 7.
9
Select how objects that are not explicitly included or excluded in the table should be treated using the Included/Excluded option below the table.
10
When you are finished, click OK to save the configuration. A confirmation message appears.
11
Click OK.
