Foglight for Microsoft DOT NET 5.9.7.5 - Installation and Configuration Guide

Installing and Configuring Foglight for Microsoft .NET Managing .NET Agent 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 procedure below to limit the number of monitored web applications, applications pools, or sites. These settings are particularly 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” on page 27.
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 collected by the Counters agent. 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.
For example... ?
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.

Editing Windows Services .NET Integration Configurations

In the Integration Configuration Properties dialog box, define the service name of the Windows Services that you want to monitor. Integrating with a Windows Service provides availability and transaction metrics, as well as performance counters. When you integrate a .NET transaction agent with a Windows Service, the agent makes changes to the Windows registry.
 
* 
NOTE: The following procedure assumes that you have an integration configuration open for editing, as described in “Viewing and Editing .NET Integration Configurations” on page 27.
To monitor Windows Services:
1
In the Integration Configuration Properties dialog box, click the Windows Services tab.
2
To add a single Windows Service, click Add.
A blank row appears in the table.
For example...?
3
Click in the Windows Service where service ‘name’ is box and type the full name of the service. This is the service name, not the display name.
4
To add another service, repeat steps 2 through 4.
or
To add multiple services in a single step, click Add multiple. In the dialog box that opens, type the names of the Windows Services, separated by commas or new lines, then click Set.
5
Click OK to close the editor and save your changes.
6
Restart your Windows Services to apply the changes.

Editing Standalone Applications .NET Integration Configurations

In the Integration Configuration Properties dialog box, define the full path to the executable file of any standalone applications that you want to monitor. Integrating with a standalone application provides availability and transaction metrics, as well as performance counters. When you integrate a .NET transaction agent with a standalone application, a cmd script is created and written to a file in the application’s root directory.
 
* 
NOTE: The following procedure assumes that you have an integration configuration open for editing, as described in “Viewing and Editing .NET Integration Configurations” on page 27.
To monitor specific web applications:
1
In the Integration Configuration Properties dialog box, click the Standalone Applications tab.
2
To add a single standalone application, click Add.
A blank row appears in the table.
For example...?
3
Click in the Standalone application where ‘executable path’ is box and type the full path to the executable.
4
To add another application, repeat Step 2 through Step 3.
or
To add multiple applications in a single step, click Add multiple. In the dialog box that opens, type the names of the standalone applications, separated by commas or new lines, then click Set.
5
Click OK to close the editor and save your changes.
6
Restart your standalone applications.

Editing .NET Thread Metrics Integration Configurations

In the Integration Configuration Properties dialog box, specify whether to enable or disable collection of thread metrics from integrated IIS, Windows Services, and standalone applications. By default, thread metrics are not collected.
This setting applies to the Performance Counters Agent only. For more information about this agent, see Creating a .NET Performance Counters Only Monitoring Agent .
 
* 
NOTE: The following procedure assumes that you have an integration configuration open for editing, as described in “Viewing and Editing .NET Integration Configurations” on page 27.
To collect thread metrics:
1
In the Integration Configuration Properties dialog box, click the Thread Metrics tab.
2
Select the Collect Thread Metrics check box.
3
Click OK to close the editor and save your changes.
4
Restart your IIS, Windows Services, or standalone applications.
