Issue/Introduction

 In a .NET agent IntroscopeAgent.log, receiving the following error:

[ERROR] [IntroscopeAgent.Agent] Exception finishing method tracer for [System.Data]System.Data.SqlClient.SqlDataReader.Close

 

On this issue, what and where can I disable the SQL component of the agent?

 

 

Environment

Release : 10.7.0

Component :

Cause

 [ERROR] [IntroscopeAgent.Agent] Exception finishing method tracer for [System.Data]System.Data.SqlClient.SqlDataReader.Close

We have seen this reported in the past and in one situation it was believed to be linked to a memory resource issue - i.e. the process ended up consuming large amounts of memory.

 

Resolution

As a workaround, exclude that tracer by adding the following line to the skips.pbd file in the Agent

SkipClass: System.Data.SqlClient.SqlDataReader

Note: This has been fixed in APM 20.12
