When the Microsoft .NET Tier Collectors are installed, you need to perform post-installation action items. These action items vary depending on the .NET application type, and include editing configuration files and restarting Precise agents. Not all action items appear on screen as described in Performing post-installation action items. This section includes instructions regarding action items that appear as part of the installation, as well as an overview of instrumentation action items that are not included.

Defining permissions settings for a Precise installation folder
The Precise for Microsoft .NET hooks that are injected into the monitored .NET process, are run under the same user account on which your .NET application is running. This user must have full permission rights to the
<precise_root> folder and all its sub-folders.
...
| Info |
|---|
If you have several application pools which translate into different Windows users, all these users must be granted full permission to the <precise_root> folder. |
Changing the activity tracking threshold
The Precise for Microsoft .NET installation pre-configures the activity data tracking threshold and sets it to 50 milliseconds. This means that only methods, service requests, SQL statements, and Web services that have a response time that is equal to, or greater than 50 milliseconds will be collected.
...
More information about controlling the Precise for Microsoft .NET overhead on your .NET application in the Precise Administration Guide.
About Precise for Microsoft .NET agent ports
The Precise for Microsoft .NET data collection is based on establishing a TCP connection between a tracking module (tracker.dll), the activity Collector and instrumentation agent. The default port numbers for the installation are respectively 20755 and 20756. If any of these port numbers are in use by another application on the server, you can change its value respectively in the collector.xml and instrumenter.xml files.
