Foglight for Microsoft DOT NET 5.9.7.5 - Installation and Configuration Guide

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

Understand the .NET Agent architecture

To install Foglight for Microsoft .NET, ensure that you have the required environment. Before installing, refer to the Foglight System Requirements and Platform Support Guide.
Review the Foglight for Microsoft .NET Agent Supported Platforms and Versions for Monitored Applications and the information in Before You Begin the Installation Process , before you start the procedure Installing Foglight for Microsoft .NET .

Understand 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 above.
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.
