Configuring the eG Agent to Collect Usage Analytics

The Developer Dashboard is to help developers/ administrators with logging and debugging custom components that are added to SharePoint pages. It uses a simple process of elimination to isolate which component in a SharePoint page is the root cause for the slow performance. Developer Dashboard provides details on:

  • How long it took threads to process

  • Details on the quantity and execution duration of SQL Server database calls and

  • Details on Windows Communication Foundation (WCF) service calls

  • Details on the URL

  • Current user

  • Load time etc

The Developer Dashboard can be turned on or enabled for an entire farm to get a snapshot of the activity and performance of a specific page request.

To enable this dashboard, run the following commands from the SharePoint management shell:

$content = ([Microsoft.SharePoint.Administration.SPWebService]::ContentService)
$appsetting =$content.DeveloperDashboardSettings
$appsetting.DisplayLevel = [Microsoft.SharePoint.Administration.SPDeveloperDashboardLevel]::On
$appsetting.Update()
