You can use Microsoft Visual Studio with the NuGet package AppDynamics.Agent.Azure.CloudServices to add the .NET Agent directly to Azure Cloud Services projects: Web Roles and Worker Roles.

To install the Splunk AppDynamics for Windows Azure NuGet package you need:

• Connection information for your Agent-to-Controller Connections 4.4.

  The user account running Visual Studio must have the following permissions to the solution:

  • Read and Write permissions to each Visual Studio .NET C# Project (*.csproj) file.
  • Read and Write permissions to the Service Definition (ServiceDefinition.csdef) file.
