Tips for Defining .NET Service Endpoints

The methods that serve as the entry points for business transactions are often the same methods that you want to monitor as service endpoints as well. You can create service endpoints on the originating entry point for a business transaction.
  1. For ASP.NET service endpoints, you can use the URL to define the service endpoint. For example, in the Travel Site tier above, set a URL match to "/Travel/Search"
  2. For WCF and ASP.NET web service entry points, you can use an existing transaction snapshot to find the URL for the service.
    1. Open a full transaction snapshot for the business transaction.
    2. From the upstream tier, click the exit call link, either WCF or Web Service. The exit call window shows the URL for the web service.Web Service URL
    3. Open the service URL in a browser.
    4. On the service page, use the URL to access the WSDL file.Service URL
    5. The service name element shows the service name.
      <wsdl:service name="Service1">
  3. For POCO service endpoints, define POCO service endpoints exactly as you would a POCO custom match rule for a business transaction.T he service name element shows the service name.
