Configure the connection settings to your Controller after installing your .NET microservices agent.
Disable instrumentation for troubleshooting.
Assembly allowlisting.
Disable inject fields.
Include blocklists and allowlists.
You can use environment variables in the AppDynamicsConfig.json file for node, tier, and application names. To include an environment variable, reference it by specifying %<variable>%, which you can combine with the other characters; for example, Web-%COMPUTERNAME" translates to Web-HOST23.
This example .json file is just a sample and you should not copy/paste it into your AppDynamicsConfig.json file.

Note:
attachBlockList excludes a process if it is on the profiler list.
attachAllowList excludes all processes except those listed in the list. If it is empty, it will include all processes.
Both lists relate to whether the profiler is detached from the process when the process launches, assuming the environment variables for the AppDynamics profiler are set correctly.
