Question by Christopher L. · Jan 31, 2012 at 03:45 AM ·

Sharepoint ASP.NET Sessions

In Java, we have sessions which stores user state.  I'm assuming .Net has something similar.  I don't see this within Dynatrace though.  I've looked at all the measures I can find. 

A competing product that we have shows something called "ASP .NET State Service" and it shows us Sessions Active, Abandoned, Timed Out and Total. 

Does Dynatrace have this?  If so, where? 

Thanks!

Chris

Hey Andreas,

thanks for the quick response.  When I download the fastpack, I don't see any Monitor Plugin in it.  The "install plugin" dialog on the server is looking for a jar or a dtp file.  Perhaps I am missing something?

Thanks,

Chris

Sorry - my mistake.
The SharePoint System Profile contains a Windows Performance Monitor called ASP.NET Performance Counters. This monitor contains measure subscriptions to the most important ASP.NET Metrics. The Session specific measures are not included - but - its easy to add them based on the link I've sent in the previous response

Here is a screenshot of that Windows Performance Monitor Definition in the SharePoint System Profile

To take advantage of these measure configurations you can
a) Import the SharePoint System Profile on your dynaTrace Server
b) Copy the Monitor Definition (Ctrl-C)
c) Paste it in your own System Profile
d) add additional measures to the monitor

Let me know if there are additional questions. Happy to cover this as well in one of the upcoming Dynatrace Community Webinars

Hi Chris

ASP.NET has a session concept as well. And dynaTrace provides multiple ways to get access to this data/statistics
a) you can capture session attributes through the ASP.NET Sensor. In the properties you can configure to capture specific or all session attributes. This can be used for root cause analysis and Business Transaction Management, e.g: capturing the username from a User object stored in the session
b) ASP.NET exposes Windows Performance counters that you can query using our Windows Performance Monitor. They provide things such as Active Sessions, Sessions Timedout, ... - You can either manually configure them for the WinPerfMonitor or you can use the Monitor Plugin for ASP.NET that is part of the SharePoint FastPack. Also check out the following blog for an overview of available windows performance counters: http://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/library/ie/fxk122b4.aspx

Hope this helps as a start
