I have a simple question: I’m using the <instrumentation><applications><application>
-element (see: https://docs.newrelic.com/docs/agents/net-agent/configuration/net-agent-configuration#application-instrumentation) in the global newrelic.config
-file to target multiple .NET Framework-based Windows Services hosted on the same machine but I want to expose them with custom names.
Something along these lines:
<instrumentation>
<applications>
<application name="MyAppA.exe" applicationName="IniTech.MyAppA" />
<application name="MyAppB.exe" applicationName="IniTech.MyAppB" />
</applications>
</instrumentation>
In the example above, the name
-attribute is valid and is used to target an executable for monitoring. The applicationName
-attribute is a hypothetical one in which I would like to control the application its name as it would appear in the APM dashboard.
I know that it’s possible to name an application into its own configuration file but I really would like to keep the introduction of NR-specific configuration parameters to my applications to an absolute minimum…
