Troubleshooting Appdynamics Agent Install on Windows ECS Fargate .Net Framework IIS application

Rupert.Broad

I'm trying to get the App Agent running on a Windows ECS Fargate container. Agent installs and connects to the coordinator and registers the machine agent but the App Agent and CLR are not discovered/registered. On a regular Windows Server instance doing 'iisreset' usually resolves this issue. In the container startup script there is an iisreset but it's obviously not working.

I get the same result if I build/run the container locally on a Windows Server, so Fargate is not the issue.

config.xml

<?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8"?>
<appdynamics-agent xmlns:xsd="http://www.w3.org/2001/XMLSchema" xmlns:xsi="http://www.w3.org/2001/XMLSchema-instance">
   <controller host="AppDynamicsAppHostName" port="443" ssl="true" enable_tls12="true">
    <application name="AppDynamicsAppName" />
      <account name="AppDynamicsAppAccountName" password="AppDynamicsAppAccountPassword" />
  </controller>
  <machine-agent />
  <app-agents>
    <IIS>
      <applications>
        <application path="/" site="api">
          <tier name="AppDynamicsTierName" />
        </application>
      </applications>
    </IIS>
  </app-agents>
</appdynamics-agent>

When the container registers with the coordinator, it does NOT assign the agent to the Application Tier. 

As far as I can tell from logging, there are no errors or issues during install or when container starts.

What I don't understand and what isn't discussed in the documents is how AppDynamics determines whether the App agent is installed and where I need to check (logs/xml/config) to find any misconfiguration.
