The .NET Agent requires ASP MVC application with a Framework at least version 4.5

To monitor a .NET applications, Nudge APM provides a probe composed of two elements:

• The Tracer which is installed as a dependency within the application
• The Agent that centralizes and consolidates the information captured by the Tracer and sends it to the Nudge APM platform

The installation takes place in 4 steps:

1. Application setup in the Nudge APM interface
2. Agent install on the Windows server
3. Tracer setup within your application
4. Check

Tracer setup

• Add the Tracer’s Nuget package to the dependencies of your ASP MVC application : https://www.nuget.org/packages/NudgeApm.Sdk/

• Activate the Tracer in the method RegisterGlobalFilters of your application using the following instructions :

  // optional if your application doesn't already use and declare log4net library
  log4net.config.XMLConfig();
  ​
  // mandatory to capture transactions
  Nudge.APM.Tracer.Utils.InitByFilter(GlobalFilterCollection filters);
  ​
  // optional if you want to capture activity in database
  Nudge.APM.Tracer.Utils.InitDbInterceptor();
  ​
  // optional if you want to enable transaction profiling
  Nudge.APM.Tracer.Utils.InitProfiler();

Once the application is started with the Tracer enabled, as soon as transactions occur on the application, they will begin to appear on the Nudge APM Dashboard within 2 or 3 minutes.
