Foglight for Microsoft DOT NET 5.9.7.5 - Installation and Configuration Guide

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

Upgrading .NET Agents

The Foglight Upgrade Guide provides full instructions for upgrading to the latest version of the cartridge and agents. Read the section “Upgrading Foglight for Microsoft .NET” in the Upgrading the Application Monitoring Cartridges chapter for details.
Depending on the version you are upgrading from, you may also need to upgrade the Nexus. See the Foglight Upgrade Guide for details.

Configuration Migration During Upgrades

If you have modified the configuration files and you perform a minor version upgrade (for example from x.y.z to x.y.z+1), your modified files are preserved. The default contents of the configuration files from the new version are overwritten with your changes.
For example, you have version 5.9.3.2 currently installed and you have modified the Nexus recording.config and the .NET agent instrumentation.config. Upgrading to version 5.9.4 would overwrite the default contents of the 5.9.4 versions of those files with your file contents from 5.9.3.2. All other 5.9.4 configuration files are unchanged, and contain the default contents installed by the 5.9.4 cartridge.
 
* 
NOTE: Configuration files managed through the Advanced dashboards (for example, nexus/aggregation.config) are not automatically migrated. If you have made any modifications to these files, they must be migrated manually, with the assistance of Customer Support where necessary.

In addition, the nexus/compatible-builds.config file is never automatically migrated. If you have any patch build IDs, these must be manually added to the new version’s compatible-builds.config with the assistance of Customer Support.
 
* 
IMPORTANT: No automatic migration occurs during an upgrade to the next major version (for example, from 5.9.x to 5.10.x).
 

Managing .NET Agent Configurations

The .NET Administration dashboard provides a centralized location for managing your agent installations and configurations, and collection schedules.
To access the .NET Administration dashboard:
1
On the navigation panel, under Dashboards, click Application Servers > Administration > Application Servers Administration.
2
On the Application Servers Administration dashboard, click .NET Administration.
The .NET Administration dashboard opens in the display area.
From here you can manage .NET Agent installations, integrations, transaction agent configurations, and Nexus connections.

Managing .NET Installations

The Installations tab of the .NET Administration dashboard provides an overview of installations, including their versions, collection configurations, and Nexus connections.
From here, you can rerun the installer to fix any issues, uninstall (remove) an installation, or view the installation properties. You can also check whether an installation is eligible for upgrade and, if so, perform an in-place upgrade.
