Diagnosing Data Collector issues

I have created a .Net Method Invocation data collector and it is not working.  The specifics of the configuration are in the attached screenshot.

I'm working with an overloaded method which has a single object parameter - see screenshot.  I'm using a Getter Chain to extract the value of an instance variable that is two levels deep.  

From my IDE I can view the data pointed to by the Getter Chain. 

When I deploy the data collector nothing is returned.  The Data Collector 'BookingServiceModel' is not listed - I have a number of other, simpler, data collectors for this BT and they are listed in the transaction snapshot.

My questions are:

  • Why is the Data Collector not listed at all .. previously if I mis-configured a data collector it would still be listed but would just not have captured any data
  • How can I troubleshoot this .. I have looked at the ByteCode.txt log and expected to see entries for my data collectors.  I couldn't see any entries.  Previously when working with the Java agent I was able to see 'interceptor' entries for the BCI needed for data collectors.  Is there something different with .Net ?
  • Is there anything obvious in my Data Collector configuration - I know its dependent on the underlying code by perhaps the syntax of the Getter Chain is obviously wrong.  All my other Getter Chains are very simple

Hi. Try removing the ".ToString()" at the end of the getter chain.
