## Problem

After generating traffic for your app and waiting five minutes, none of your .NET agent data appears in the New Relic UI.

## Solution

The absence of data may occur for several reasons.

-   **Common causes** for missing data: See the [basic troubleshooting solutions](#basic-solutions).
-   **Other situations:** If the basic solutions do not solve the problem, the lack of data may be more intrinsic to your system. For more information, see the [advanced troubleshooting solutions](#advanced-solutions).
-   **Microsoft Azure users:** See the [Azure troubleshooting solutions](https://docs.newrelic.com/docs/agents/net-agent/azure-troubleshooting).
-   **No browser data appears:** See the [troubleshooting tips when using the browser agent](https://docs.newrelic.com/docs/agents/net-agent/troubleshooting/no-page-load-timing-data-appears-net).

| **.NET Framework:** Check Registry permissions.       | Check for a [registry key permissions error](https://docs.newrelic.com/docs/agents/net-agent/troubleshooting/no-data-registry-key-permission-issues).                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                     |
| **.NET Framework:** Run Windows Event Viewer.         | If applicable: - Run the Windows Event Viewer, and look for application events from the New Relic .NET Profiler. - Search for messages whose source is the New Relic .NET Profiler or New Relic .NET agent. - If there are no New Relic event messages, look for messages from the .NET Runtime. For more information, see [No data or event log: CoCreate errors](https://docs.newrelic.com/docs/dotnet/dotnet-kb-102).                                                                                                                                                  |
| Get debug logs.                                       | If your logs did not show errors, increase the logging level temporarily to [collect `debug` logs](https://docs.newrelic.com/docs/agents/net-agent/troubleshooting/generating-logs-troubleshooting#logs).                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                 |
| Check proxy settings.                                 | Ensure your [proxy settings](https://docs.newrelic.com/docs/dotnet/dotnet-agent-configuration#service) are correct and that your settings include a host attribute.                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                       |
| **.NET 8:** Make sure runtime diagnostics are enabled | Starting in .NET 8, setting the environment variable `DOTNET_EnableDiagnostics=0` (or `COMPlus_EnableDiagnostics=0`) will disable CLR profiling, making it impossible for the agent to work.  This setting is commonly recommended in read-only filesystem deployment scenarios, but only to disable the diagnostic port.  See [Microsoft's documentation](https://learn.microsoft.com/en-us/dotnet/core/tools/dotnet-environment-variables#dotnet_enablediagnostics) on how to disable specific sub-components of the diagnostic system while leaving profiling enabled. |
