.NET WCF Method Calls
Hello,
We have some .NET agents instrumented and in those purepaths there are some remoting calls made from one layer of our server to another through .NET WCF framework. These show up as synchronous calls in purepaths but the actual methods are not shown. Instead the WCF frameworks inetrface methods are shown. We want to be able to see the code that is part of our application instead. Attaching screenshot. DG_screeshot.png
Thanks,

hi Subha,
you can see the call details
- either in the node details (right click on Call() or Invoke() -> details...)
- or by drilling down into the Remoting (or Web Services, I'm not 100% sure) Dashlet

Isn't there a way to show it within the purepaths? Should I add some specific sensors for that?
hi Subha,
right know there is no easy way to show the remoting call details (WCF in your case) in the PurePath.
reason for that is that the .NET Remoting Sensors are instrumenting those Call/Invoke methods and getting the remote call information from there.
of course you could place separate sensors for your known remote calls, but I don't think there is a generic way for that so it would be some manual effort.
however, IMHO it could be a nice addition to show such remote calls (and also maybe similar calls like web services, ...) in the PurePath directly. we already do something similar for e.g. exceptions.
so I would suggest to open an RFE for that, I saw that you already got a link to the RFE forum on the support ticket.
best,
Christian
