Process csc.exe restarted ?

[AntonioSousa]

I'm seeing in a particular case a lot of events on Windows IIS machines with the message:

Process csc.exe restarted

CSC is the C# compiler, so something is going on. Not sure, but probably associated with app pool recycles/restarts. Has anyone had any close encounter with this CSC, or have any idea what it might be doing in production environments, or still, how to analyze it further with Dynatrace?

@Antonio S. this is new to me, I'll keep an eye out if i see anyone else had a similar issue,

CSC is restarted each time it needs to compile a .NET DLL. 
So it should happen often when the server has just been started, and sometimes when a new (not yet called) endpoint is triggered.

Yes, I understand those cases, although I do not see them those often in the circumstances that you mention . This has been a mystery to me for some time...

[Radoslaw_Szulgo]

Hm... maybe this process should be actually ignored by Dynatrace. Have you talked about this in help chat?

[AntonioSousa]

It's quite helpful, as it is associated with slow response times that I see in certain environments. Just have to figure out why they are running 😉
