App Visibility agent for .NET system requirements
Minimum space requirements for App Visibility agent for .NET
- Installation disk space: 180 MB
- Recommended reserved space: 120 MB
Supported systems for App Visibility agent for .NET
The computer on which you are installing the App Visibility agent for .NET must have IIS already installed for the App Visibility agent installation utility to run correctly.
The following application servers have been tested and certified in the BMC test environment.
.NET Framework | ||||||
---|---|---|---|---|---|---|
Windows server | IIS | 4.6.2 | 4.6.1 | 4.6.0 | 4.5.2 | 3.5 SP1 |
2016 | 10.0 | |||||
2012 R2, 64 bit | 8.5 | |||||
2012, 64 bit | 8.0 | |||||
2008 R2 SP1, 64 bit | 7.5 |
Technologies monitored by the App Visibility agent for .NET
The App Visibility agent for .NET monitors the following application technologies and displays
diagnostics data for a trace
.
The standard synchronous ASP.NET pipeline is supported.
IIS 7 integrated pipeline and IIS classic pipeline |
---|
WCF Invoke |
Used for synchronous implementation of the service BMC supports and tests BasicHttpBinding, WS2007HttpBinding (SOAP Web Services), WebHttpBinding (REST), and NetTcpBinding (binary, SOAP-like), with the following WCF support limitations:
|
ASP.NET Web Services (.asmx) |
Pre-WCF SOAP web services, extension of standard ASP.NET and handled as a special case |
.NET Framework Remoting |
Synchronous, all protocols supported |
ASP.NET MVC (indirect support) |
Technologies like ASP.NET MVC are supported indirectly as they are built over one of the underlying technologies (no rules specifically for ASP.NET MVC). ASP.NET MVC synchronous over classical ASP.NET pipeline is supported. |
Database support |
Microsoft SQL Server for the following data providers:
Asynchronous database calls are supported for Microsoft SQL Server Native Client. |
Oracle Database for the following data providers:
Support for .NET Framework Data Provider for Oracle has been deprecated. Oracle Data Provider for .NET, Managed Driver is not supported. |
MongoDB .NET Driver versions 1.9.0 – 1.11.0 |
Asynchronous technology |
.NET Framework Task-based Asynchronous Pattern (TAP) support that includes:
|
Network Time Protocol (NTP) synchronization
Warning
The data handled by application monitoring components, including all server components and agents, is time sensitive. If the time between components is not synchronized, you might see incorrect or partial data, or you might not see any data.
Consult your operating system documentation to synchronize each component's internal clock with an NTP server on your network or on the Internet. Ensure that the clocks are regularly synchronized.
App Visibility requirements for JavaScript injection
Use App Visibility JavaScript injection to implement
App Visibility end-user monitoring
. The JavaScript injection is supported by most web-based applications and browsers:
- HTML pages must contain the
<head>
element and must be produced dynamically: JavaServer Pages (JSP) or Java servlets for Java application servers, ASP.NET applications for .NET application servers. - For end-user browsers that support navigation-timing API, App Visibility provides end-to-end time and network time. For browsers that do not support navigation-timing API, App Visibility provides only end-to-end time.
- When cookies are enabled on the server and client, App Visibility returns statistics about the number of users.
The following end-user browsers support automatic injection by App Visibility:
- Chrome, latest version
- Firefox, latest version
- Internet Explorer, versions 10 and 11
- Safari (iOS 10.x), version 6.x
- HARMAN
Ensure that you import a KeyStore file to the App Visibility proxy, or
change the security protocol
to work only with HTTP.
