Instrumenting the Cryptography Application Block

These are the sections in the application's configuration file for enabling/disabling instrumentation. They are optional, but you must either have both or neither in the file. If you omit them, it is the same as if all the values are false. The <configSections> section is where you specify to the System.Configuration library how to read the actual configuration data. The actual data is in the <instrumentationConfiguration> section. Setting a value to true enables the instrumentation. Setting a value to false disables the instrumentation. The three types of instrumentation are performance counters, event logging, and WMI events.
