Install the .NET Core Microservices Agent for Windows

To monitor an application executed on Windows, you install the Splunk AppDynamics.NET Core microservices agent for Windows to your project. Additionally, you can instrument .NET standalone services or IIS services using the MSI installer. Then, set the environment variables for your Controller.

Note: You need the default AppDynamicsConfig.json file in one of the following .NET Agent probing paths: <appfolder>\<appdll>.AppDynamicsConfig.json, <appfolder>\AppDynamicsConfig.json, or <profilerpath>\AppDynamicsConfig.json to ensure that the agent works. The application dll name should be without a .dll or .exe extension. Having the AppDynamicsConfig.json file placed in an application folder signals to the profiler that it needs to monitor the application. This limitation is put into place to avoid multiple applications from being instrumented on a Windows machine. Currently, we do not have this limitation on Linux.
