Crash Events Monitored by the .NET Machine Agent

The .NET Machine Agent listens on these Windows event logs for crash events:

  • Application Log
  • System Log

The agent listens for events logged at event-level Warning and higher on these sources:

  • Application Error
  • .NET Runtime
  • WAS (Windows Process Activation Service)

The agent listens for events logged at event-level Information and higher on this source:

  • Windows Error Reporting

The agent reports CLR crashes as events to the Controller:

  • All w3wp process crashes
  • Instrumented Windows service crashes
  • Instrumented standalone application crashes

The Controller treats all events as Warning severity, which is not directly related to the Windows event level.
