Configure Custom Exit Point for .NET Generic method

This is the first time I am setting up a custom exit point.

My exit point is for a Redis cache provider.

I have a class such as:

namespace CacheProviders.Redis

{

...

public sealed partial class RedisCacheProvider : ICacheProvider

{

...

public T Get<T>(object key) {...}

public bool Set<T>(object key, T val) {...}

...

}

So, in the custom exit point defintion, I have:

"with a class name that" equals: CacheProviders.Redis.RedisCacheProvider

"method name": Get

but this doesn't seem to wotk.

Is there a special way to deal with generic methods?

Do I need to specify method name as "Get<T>"? or "Get<>"?

Also, does the class name have to be fully qualified like "CacheProviders.Redis.RedisCacheProvider, MyAssembly"?

Hi Jeff,

I ran this by our support team who suggested the following:

For generic classes or methods, you need to append a `N to the name where N is the number of parametrers.

 
For example, consider the class:
AppDynamics.MyClass<T>

 Class name equals AppDynamics.MyClass`1

 
For a the follwing method:
MyMethod<Type1, Type2>

 Method name equals MyMethod`2
