Hello

Can one point me into docs or tell how is nginx and IIS .NET instrumented by OneAgent?

Customer ask exact info.

Is it added libraries or API like JMX used?

Thanks!

Regards,

Igor

Actually, the oneagent library is added to the process. This library handles the instrumentation for every process. Depending on the process type, it links also other library (for example liboneagentnginx ).

Generally, each library intercepts necessary calls inside the instrumented process. For NGINX it intercepts calls to NGINX functions. For NET it also inserts oneagent NET assemblies. ( you can find them in the oneagent directory).

Cust demands official description to let us install oneagent on servers. And there is no test env. Hopefuly these servers in balancing ferm.

Unfortunately, I don't think this is publicly documented.

If you need official technical details, the best approach would be to contact Dynatrace product managers or your sales representative to obtain them.
