Set up the Agent

The .NET agent can be added to an application in three different ways

Profiler runtime instrumentation
The agent supports auto instrumentation without any code change and without any recompilation of your projects. See Profiler Auto instrumentation.
NuGet packages
The agent ships as a set of NuGet packages available on nuget.org. You can add the Agent and specific instrumentations to a .NET application by referencing one or more of these packages and following the package documentation.
Host startup hook
On .NET Core 3.0+ or .NET 5+, the agent supports auto instrumentation without any code change and without any recompilation of your projects. See Zero code change setup on .NET Core for more details.
