We have a lot of applications that run [ASP.NET](http://ASP.NET) Framework ("classic") 4.6.2 in PCF 2.5.

Log capture works great, we just bind a `syslog` service, but I can't figure out how to add APM to my app written in .NET Classic.

It works great for our [ASP.NET](http://ASP.NET) Core 2.2 apps.

Is this unsupported, or is there guidance on how use APM for .NET Classic?

Hi @stuwilliams-clgx

[https://www.elastic.co/guide/en/apm/agent/dotnet/current/supported-technologies.html](https://www.elastic.co/guide/en/apm/agent/dotnet/current/supported-technologies.html)

.NET Framework 4.6.1 (or newer) is supported via the Public API.

As to PCF support that will require further investigation.

.NET Framework 4.6.1 (or newer) is supported in the sense that you can use agent's public API to implement manual instrumentation. Automatic instrumentation for classic [ASP.NET](http://ASP.NET) is planned for a future release. Regarding the ways to configure the agent in case of non .NET Core application - you can use environment variables and agent's public API. We have an issue in the backlog to support configuration via `web.config` for classic [ASP.NET](http://ASP.NET).
