Microsoft Dynamics AX (Axapta) - supported or not?

[Romanenkov_Alex]

Hello community!

Does Dynatrace support this application - Microsoft Dynamics AX (Axapta)?

Can we install OneAgent?Will we see "Service" layer for this application? Will we see PurePath`s?

Maybe someone already try to install Dynatrace to monitor this application.

Regards,

Alexander

Hello,

we are during poc on Microsoft Dynamics CRM (different solution, simmular architecture). In general services will be generated for IIS parts of application. You will also see native calls invocation (without details of them). So in general monitoring should be possible but with limited visibility.

Hi.

Axapta it's a little bit different store than CRM. Axapta uses C# and X++. So as we know we don't have any problem with C# (at least if it's .net), but X++ is used only for Axapta.

Vlad, we have tried with Axapta, but had only process level monitoring without service level. Also i have tried to add custom services (to add custom entry points) but it was impossible: in wizard i can find classes that (handles HTTP requests) but they have remark "Not instumentable"

So as assumed sebastian k. we have only small part of services (IIS services) and we have no service code level for important processes "out of box".

Maybe it be possible to monitoring Axapta by using OneAgent SDK...

Regards,

Alexander

Hi Alexander,

Thanks for providing your experience on this, pretty useful info. By Axapta do you mean AX 4.0, AX 2009 or AX 2012...? Or does it even make any difference as to which exact version we're talking about, I suppose all of them are using X++?
