Custom Instrumentation via .NET agent API
Site24x7's .NET agent API allows you to track application methods in your .NET application. You can monitor the performance of your application methods or a block of code by including the agent API inside the methods or classes that need to be monitored.
This will be supported from the agent version 5.6.0
Follow the below-given instructions to instrument.
Installation Instructions:
- Install APM Insight .NET agent based on your application environment.
- Download or reference the package Site24x7.Agent.Api from the NuGet package manager to your application project.
Note: The API has a class named Site24x7.Agent.Api to track the performance of the application code. - You can use the using block to create an instance of the class Site24x7.Agent.Api like Site24x7.Agent.Api(object thisObject, string methodName, string componentName).

The following method illustrates how to add a snippet:
public int YourMethod(string param1, string param2, bool param3)
{
using (var api = new Site24x7.Agent.Api(this, "YourMethodName", "YourComponentName"))
{
//Your application code goes here..
..............................
}
}
Example:
public int ConvertToRupee(string param1, string param2, bool param3)
{
using (var api = new Site24x7.Agent.Api(this, "ConvertToRupee", "CONVERTER"))
{
// Your application code goes here
..............................
}
}
The execution time of the code inside the using block will be calculated and displayed under the method name ConvertToRupee.
