Monitoring Winform basic applications

[CommunityUser]

Hi,

My company would use AppDynamics mainly for monitoring application client side. I'm talking winform applications calling WCF services.

The ultimate goal would be to be able to find bottleneck client side when users experience problem not visible on services.

It looks like appdynamics only allows to monitor entrance points of an application (webmethods, WCF contract methods etc)

Could you tell me if I'm mistaken and if there is a way to monitor bottlenecks in a winform application with AppDynamics? 

Thanks a lot,

Thomas

Hi Thomas,

The AppDynamics shows the bottlenecks in your application. 

The AppDynamics Agent will auto discovers the business transactions for most of the application types (Asp.Net/MVC/WCF/Web Services etc.,). If your Windows service or standalone application doesn't implement an auto-detected framework then you must configure a POCO entry point for a class/method in your application for the agent to begin instrumentation. Here, the POCO is an starting point for the business transaction to track. Once this business transaction is detected by the Agent then it will start capturing the bottlenecks inside it in a transaction snapshot i.e. which method,DB call is taking longer execution time.

Please let us know if the above explanation answered your query.

Thanks,

Venu.
