Instrumenting a DotNet-based Web Site / Web Application

You can use the Eg_RUM.dll file that eG provides to instrument a DotNet-based web site/web application that dynamically generates web pages. To perform this instrumentation, do the following:

1. First, download the Eg_RUM.dll to the system hosting the web application. For this, click the Download button alongside Eg_RUM.dll in the To instrument your html pages use the eG javascript agent section.

2. Once the download is complete, make sure that the Eg_RUM.dll is included in the target web application, and add an assembly reference.

3. Next, in an editor, open the Views\Shared_Layout.cshtml file for ASP .NET MVC or the Default.master file for ASP .NET WebForms.
   
   To the Views\Shared_Layout.cshtml file, copy the following line of code:
   
   

   @Html.Raw(Eg.RUM.Header()) <!--HtmlHelper.Raw prevents RUM markup from being html-encoded.-->;

   To the Default.master file, copy the following line of code:
   
   

   <%= Eg.RUM.Header() %>

4. Save the respective files.

5. Restart the target web application.

6. Test your web application locally and view the page source in your browser. The page markup should include < !-- RUM Header -->.

Once this is done, then the auto-injected JavaScript will track requests to each of the web pages that use the Shared_Layouts.html or Default.master files (as the case may be).
