Support for Kafka in .NET agents

[Tony.Chow]

Dear AppD Team,

I have a few services written in .NET Core running on Linux containers. I'm using the latest .NET agent for Linux.

Among these services are a Kafka producer and a Kafka consumer. We are finding that AppD does not see the Kafka traffic between these services.

Do the .NET agents currently support Kafka?

Thanks.

Hi @Tony.Chow 

Thank you for posting to the community.

Unfortunately, Kafka is not supported by .NET agent for back-end detection by default.

Supported back-end list is written in the document below.

https://docs.appdynamics.com/21.9/en/application-monitoring/install-app-server-agents/net-agent/net-... 

However, you can create a Custom Exit Point to detect back-end for Kafka.

Please see the document below for adding a custom exit point.

Best Regards,
