Instrumenting Standalone Windows Service
Hi,
I am trying to attach dynatrace agent to a standalone .exe on Windows 7 box that runs as a windows service. I opened the dynatrace agent configuration tool for .NET and saw the process listed and chose that to configure the agent. Those steps were successful but the service doesn't start after that. There are no errors seen in application logs. How do I debug what's going on?
Thanks,
Subha
Hi Subha,
Do you get any log file from the agent when you try to start your Windows service after configuring it? They should be in C:\Program Files\dynaTrace\dynaTrace 6.1.0\log
Best, Roman
no I don't see any agent log file
I see this agent log after the process restart:

Note that the process is not coming up after this
Is there any error indication in the windows event log?
