Dynatrace AppMon Visual Studio Extension

Integrate Visual Studion with Dynatrace AppMon.

• CodeLink - Automatically look up your source code from the Dynatrace AppMon client in Visual Studio. 
• Launch your .NET applications with an injected Dynatrace agent. 
• Run your unit tests with the Dynatrace agent.

Prerequisites

You will need the following environment:

• Visual Studio 2013 or higher
• Dynatrace AppMon Server 6.3+
• Dynatrace AppMon .NET agent installed on your machine (to run/test your application with the .NET agent)
• Dynatrace AppMon Client running on your machine (for CodeLink)

You can download Dynatrace AppMon from here.

Configuration

First you will need to configure the extension. Open the settings dialog from Tools -> Dynatrace AppMon Extension Configuration and enter the details about the Collector you would like the .NET agent to connect to. If you want to use CodeLink you have to make sure that the REST API in your AppMon Client is enabled. 

The settings will be stored in your Visual Studio solution, so you can maintain different configurations for different solutions.

Use the Visual Studio Extension

Launcher

The lancher will run applications with an injected Dynatrace .NET agent using the agent name and additional parameters defined in the run configuration. The agent will output debug information into the console. The launcher supports Windows and Web based projects and tests.

Source Code Look-up

The AppMon client lets you analyze PurePaths down to the individual methods that have been instrumented in the context of the captured transaction. When you identify a problematic method either in the PurePath view or in the Methods view of the AppMon client, you can use the CodeLink functionality to jump to the source code line in the open Visual Studio solution.
