Hi - I just installed AppDynamics Lite on a machine with the following details:
2GB RAM, IIS 6.0, .Net Framework 3.5
I was able to launch the AppDynamic Lite Viewer but I get no agent connection.
I tried accessing the system/application that I'm trying to monitor but I am getting no response in the viewer.
The transaction is actually just to connect to the app server (i.e. loading the homepage), but when I checked the viewer I'm seeing no transaction. Does it mean that AppDynamic detects transactional queries that triggers access to-fro a Database?
I have attached the log files from the AppDynamics folder on my local drive for further reference.
Hope you can help.
Hi Karen,
I do not see any W3WP (IIS) log entries which would be expected if the app agent is loaded correctly.
This has typical can have one of this reasons:
1.) No load on the IIS, assuming that the website you host is using ASP.NET.. Also make sure to execute the aspx page you use for testing at least a few times.
2.) Did you have any other profiler or APM tool installed before?
Can you please check if there is any other APM solution installed on the system(Microsoft Operational Manager- MoM)?.
Please confirm the value for the following:
1) value of "COR_PROFILER" system level environment variable.
2) value of "COR_PROFILER" under the following registry keys if they exist (You can search for this key and let us know the value)
HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SYSTEM\ControlSet001\Services\IISADMIN
My Computer\HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SYSTEM\CurrentControlSet\
My Computer\HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SYSTEM\ControlSet001\Services\
My Computer\HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SYSTEM\ControlSet002\Services\
Let us know if this helped to solve the issue.
Kind regards,
Theo
Hi tjungeblut,
Thanks tjungeblut! I see, does it mean that if the page is in .htm it is not considered as transaction? ![]()
By the way, the machine has no other APM installed.
Thanks,

Hi Karen,
I suppose you have followed the step mentioned by Theo. If you have issue in instrumenting application kindly set us the latest logs
FYI, please find supported Applications and Frameworks for .NET
http://litedocs.appdynamics.com/display/ADLite/Supported+Applications+and+Frameworks+for+.NET
Regarding your query "does it mean that if the page is in .htm it is not considered as transaction?", could you please brief about the application architecture, this could help us understand the issue.
Please write back to us, if there is any disconnect.
Thanks,
Santosh
Hi Everyone,
Thanks for your query responses.
I am already able to see BUSINESS transaction connection upon accessing the .ASPX page.
However, I do have some further clarifications.
Here is the case:
- I installed the AppDynamics Lite in the WebServer where the application is hosted.
- I accessed the .ASPX homepage using the webserver machine
- Voila! I was able to see business transaction connection
- But when I try accessing the .ASPX page in a different machine/workstation, no business transaction connection is detected.
Does it mean that I have to do the transactions using the machine where the webserver resides? ![]()
Thanks,
Kars
Yes Karen,
You are correct, .Net Lite can only instrument applications which are hosted in IIS. So what that means that we will capture request which are coming into IIS Hosted app (w3wp.exe) and only after execution starts with the monitored w3wp.exe.
Kindly let us know you have any further queries.
Thanks,
Santosh
