Couldn't get MSMQ entry point for .NET Consumer Application

[kiruthika.a]

Hi Team,

I have developed .NET sample MSMQ sender and receiver Console application.
I have tried Instrumenting that application.

I could load the profiler and was able to see the MQ Details and transaction snapshots for sender application,
but was unable to get MQ details for receiver application in AppDynamics controller. But we are expecting MSMQ Entry point for .NET consumer application.

I have tried resolving the issue by adding POCO entry points which AppDynamics has been mentioned in the below link, but it didn’t help.

Message Queue Entry Points (appdynamics.com)

Please look into this issue and help us to resolve this.

Thanks in advance.

Hi @kiruthika.a ,

I recreated the issue you described and managed to have both the Sender and Receiver Application processes shown on my AppDynamics dashboard.

I didn’t add the Message Queue entry points mentioned Above. But, I did these steps below to resolve the issue of Receiver info not being shown:

• Setting MSMQ Backends Monitoring for .NET:
  To enable downstream correlation for MSMQ, you must configure the agent. Documentation: MSMQ Backends for .NET.

What to do:

1. Go to “Tiers and Nodes” on Controller UI:
   • Choose your Receiver Application Node.
   • At the top right, select “Action” > “Configure App Server Agent”.
2. Configure the App Server Agent:
   • In the "App Server Agent Configuration" modal window, click on "Apps" from the tree on the right.
   • Select “.NET Agent Configuration” on the right panel, then click on “+”.
3. Define the MSMQ Correlation Field:
   • Name: msmq-correlation-field
   • Description: Your description here
   • Type: String
   • Value: Label

By following these steps, I was able to see the MQ details and transaction snapshots for both the sender and receiver applications in the AppDynamics controller.

Hope this helps.

Regards,

Martina
