Question by AMANDEEP S. · May 22, 2014 at 12:49 AM ·

Unable to connect dynatrace agent

Whenever I am adding a dynatrace agent for my w3wp.exe which is running a compiled website then a error is thrown and agent doesn’t start even after restarting IIS and its services suggested in the error.

Running IIS 8 on 64 bit machine.

I've never had to reboot. You do however have to access the website or make a call to the webservice so that a w3wp.exe process is created by IIS. That will bring the agent online.

Knock on wood.  I have had to do this roughly 40% of the time, so I just have admins reboot the server as standard install procedure.

Have you accessed the website that is hosted by IIS? IIS will only actively load the .NET Runtime when you have at least a request that needs to be handled by the ASP.NET Engine. Until that happens our agent will not be fully loaded. So - please - give this a try and let us know if the problem remains

Hi Amandeep,

Please restart Windows to get the w3wp.exe instrumented with the .NET agent.

Thanks,

Rick B
