Monitor Windows Service request content by sending it from Agent to Controller

[Pingpongofkingkong]

I want to know if it is possible to show request content on Controller UI.

Specifically, we have windows services running Asp.net Web API apps that accept requests which are JSON text (not binary). Performance of that apps are shown on Controller UI. But I want to know if it is possible that content of requests can be also displayed on Controller UI.

Hi,

There is no direct option to capture the raw request, but, if you can read the incoming request in your application code and then parse the required content into an object, then you can create the Method Incovation Data Collectors on that object to capture the required information. Please refer to the following document link to create the Data Collectors https://docs.appdynamics.com/display/PRO44/Data+Collectors#DataCollectors-TypesofDataCollectors

Thanks,

Venu.

Hi,

For the .Net, it is similar to Java code, the package name in java code refers to namespace in .Net code.

Thanks,

Venu.
