access_time Updated Jun 29, 2022

Requirements

  • .NET Framework 4.5 or higher.
  • Verify you have installed the Signal Sciences Windows Agent. This will ensure the appropriate folder structure is in place on your file system.
  • Download the latest .NET Module, or get it via Nuget

Install

  1. Download the latest Signal Sciences .Net module.

  2. Extract the contents of sigsci-module-dotnet-x.x.x.zip to your application’s bin directory.

  3. Add the following sections to your application’s web.config file: 

    <configuration>
    ...
    <configSections>
        <section name="SignalSciencesModule" type="SignalSciences.ModuleConfiguration"/>
    </configSections>

    ...
    <system.webServer>
        <modules>
            <add name="SignalSciencesModule" type="SignalSciences.HttpModule"/>
        </modules>
    </system.webServer>
    ...

    <SignalSciencesModule agentEndPoint="127.0.0.1:737" />
    ...
</configuration>

  4. Restart the web site service.

Note: Ensure the AgentEndPoint value is set to the same IP and port configured with the Signal Sciences agent’s rpc-address value. See the Windows agent installation documentation for additional information about Windows agent configuration options.
