Configuring data collection for transaction tracking and diagnostics on Agent Configuration page

As an alternative to the command line, you can use the Agent Configuration page to enable or disable the data collection for transaction tracking or diagnostics. When you enable the diagnostics data collection, you can also control the amount of data to be collected.

Procedure

Complete the following steps to configure the data collection for each managed system.

  1. From the navigation bar, click Configure icon System Configuration > Agent Configuration. The Agent Configuration page is displayed.
  2. Click the MS .NET tab.
  3. Select the check boxes of the managed systems on which you want to configure the data collection and take one of the following actions from the Actions list.
    • To enable transaction tracking, click Set Transaction Tracking > Enabled. The status in the Transaction Tracking column is updated to Enabled for each selected managed system.
    • To enable diagnostic data collection, select Set Diagnostic Mode and click the level that you want to set. The status in the Diagnostic Mode column is updated to display the specified level for each selected managed system.
      • Level 1: The HTTP module collects the request summary and request instance data.
      • Level 2: The HTTP module collects the request summary and request instance data. The profiler collects the method data and stack trace data.
    • To disable transaction tracking, click Set Transaction Tracking > Disabled. The status in the Transaction Tracking column is updated to Disabled for each selected managed system.
    • To disable diagnostic data collection, click Set Diagnostic Mode > Disabled. The status in the Diagnostic Mode column is updated to Disabled for each selected managed system.

Results

You have configured the data collection for each managed system. The transaction tracking data and diagnostic data are displayed in the topology dashboards after you enable the data collection.
