Enable Autocomplete and Search for .NET

Join the Beta!

Autocomplete and search are in public beta.

Requirements

Installation

Run your service with Dynamic Instrumentation enabled, and additionally enable autocomplete and search:

  1. Set the DD_SYMBOL_DATABASE_UPLOAD_ENABLED=true environment variable.
  2. Specify the DD_SERVICE and DD_VERSION Unified Service Tags.
  3. After starting your service with Dynamic Instrumentation and autocomplete and search enabled, you can use Dynamic Instrumentation’s IDE-like features on the APM > Dynamic Instrumentation page.

Additional configuration

Third party detection

If autocomplete suggestions do not appear for your package or module, it may be incorrectly recognized as third-party code. The autocomplete and search features use a heuristic to filter out third-party code, which can sometimes lead to accidental misclassification.

To ensure that your code is properly recognized and to enable accurate autocomplete and search functionality, you can configure the third-party detection settings using the following options:

export DD_THIRD_PARTY_EXCLUDES=<LIST_OF_USER_CODE_PACKAGE_PREFIXES>
export DD_THIRD_PARTY_INCLUDES=<LIST_OF_ADDITIONAL_THIRD_PARTY_PACKAGE_PREFIXES>

Where a list means a comma separated list of package prefixes, for example:

export DD_THIRD_PARTY_EXCLUDES=com.mycompany,io.mycompany
