Set up the Agent
editSet up the Agent
editThe .NET agent can be added to an application in three different ways
- Profiler runtime instrumentation
- The agent supports auto instrumentation without any code change and without any recompilation of your projects. See Profiler Auto instrumentation.
- NuGet packages
- The agent ships as a set of NuGet packages available on nuget.org. You can add the Agent and specific instrumentations to a .NET application by referencing one or more of these packages and following the package documentation.
- Host startup hook
- On .NET Core 3.0+ or .NET 5+, the agent supports auto instrumentation without any code change and without any recompilation of your projects. See Zero code change setup on .NET Core for more details.
