Monitoring custom DLLs, classes, and methods

To add visibility to your .NET application, you may consider adding DLLs, classes, and methods to the instrumentation configuration. Precise for Microsoft .NET supports several levels of granularity for custom code visibility - from entire DLLs, through classes, and to specific methods.

For further details and concrete examples on achieving higher visibility for your custom code, see the Configuring Precise for Microsoft .NET section in the Precise Administration Guide.
