To monitor IIS applications, Windows services or standalone applications, install the AppDynamics .NET Agent once on each machine that hosts managed .NET applications. At startup, the agent initializes an individual instance of itself for each application running in the CLR.
This page describes a new installation for the .NET Agent using the MSI package.
For Microsoft IIS, the configuration utility gives you the option to restart IIS or not.
If you do not restart IIS, monitoring does not begin until the next time IIS restarts.
You must restart Windows services and standalone applications manually.
Prepare to Install
Review the following requirements before you install the .NET Agent:
Windows Management Instrumentation service must be enabled on the machine where you are installing the .NET Agent and the service must be running.
To run the .NET Agent and the Standalone Machine Agent on the same machine, .NET Compatibility Mode must be enabled on both the machine and .NET Agent. For more information, see .NET Compatibility Mode.
On the User Account Controlwindow, click Yes to allow the installer to make changes to the computer. If the current account does not have administrator privileges, the installer prompts you to supply the password for an administrator account.
