How to send custom events to AppDynamics to monitor

Recently we have started using AppDynamics to monitor our production enviornment. We would like to capture very specific data in AppDynamics. Our application is .net application. Is there a way we can send some custom events that AppDynamic agent would monitor and log into the dashboard?

I know that we can add data collectors to collect method and arguments, but i would assume it would be more expensive. I would like to explore less expesive data collection technique if there is one available.

OR is there a log4net appender to send logs to AppDynamics?

Hi. Can you provide an example of an event that you would like to have show up in AppDynamics? Thanks.

Basically, we would like to send some structured data to AppD

e.g. I logged in and performed some work in my application. The work was configured as business transaction in AppD (Let’s say Make Payment).

Now while completing the payment process, it went through ten different methods across 5 different assmeblies and I would like to send some data from these methods so that it appears under the business transaction(Make Payment).

I know this is vague, but still I am hoping to get some idea on what are my options to get the data to AppD.
