instrumenting obfuscated .net libs

rastislav_danis — Thu, 01 Sep 2022 10:25:22 GMT

we tried to monitor application written in .net by dt saas latest agent.

log for dotnet agent (ruxitagent_<name>_<number>.log) contains messages about obfuscated modules like this:

Module seems to be obfuscated. Skipping instrumentation. (<name of dll>.dll)

are there any options how to retrieve any data in this case ? some manual steps, configuration recommendations ?

Apart from obfuscated assemblies, this message will also appear for assemblies that contain no implementations (only interfaces). It's a little misleading, but in fact, nothing really changes. Interfaces cannot be instrumented.

If you think this is a false-positive, please provide the assembly, then we can take a look.

thanks, we will discuss more details with application architects and post here, if we would need further clarification
