Configuring Microsoft .NET monitoring

1. Registering the data collector
   The data collector is a component of the Microsoft .NET agent. It collects the transaction tracking and diagnostics data and passes the data to the Microsoft .NET agent. You must register the data collector for collecting this data. For details, see Registering the data collector.
2. Configuring the collection of transaction tracking and diagnostics data
   After you register the data collector, enable the collection of transaction tracking and diagnostics data on the Cloud APM console. You can also enable the diagnostics data collection by using the configdc command. For details, see Enabling collection of transaction tracking and diagnostics data and Enabling the collection of diagnostics data by using the configdc command.
3. Activating the configuration updates
   If you enable the diagnostics data collection by using the configdc command, you must activate the configuration so that the updates are saved to the configuration file. For more information about activating the configuration changes, see Activating the configuration updates.
4. Tuning the performance of data collector
   You might need to complete some tasks to fine tune the performance of data collector. For details, see Performance tuning of data collector.

Agent coexistence
In an agent coexistence environment, you can view the transaction tracking data from either the Cloud APM console or Tivoli® Enterprise Portal. For information about enabling data collection for transaction tracking in the agent coexistence environment, see Enabling transaction tracking in agent coexistence environment.
