Issue/Introduction

The application running as an .exe with .Net Framework Version 4.6

Able to see all the 3 log files (Introscope, Autoprobe, Nativeprofiler). 

Tried to capture the performance metrics of classes and method being used in the application by creating the by custom PBD. 

Able to grab those classes in the nativeprofiler logs. After creating the custom PBD we placed that PBD under the hotdeploy and as per the agent logs the PBD has been successfully loaded without any exception.

Not able to capture the performance metrics of those classes and methods.

Cause

mis-configuration 

Environment

Release : 10.7.0

Component : APM Agents

Resolution

 introscope.nativeprofiler.generic.agent.trigger.enabled=true

Setting /Enabling  the above property and restarting the App seem to help.
