What is sensor assignment
Sensor assignment specifies the process of mapping/assigning an already existing sensor type to a concrete method of a certain class. The sensor type itself is the definition of what needs to be measured. Sensor assignment thus defines what should be monitored.
The currently existing sensor types in inspectIT are:
Timer sensor
HTTP sensor
Exception sensor
JDBC Connection sensor- JDBC Statement sensor
- JDBC Prepared Statement sensor
- JDBC Prepared Parameter sensor
Logging sensor for log4j
Invocation Sequence sensor (although this senor sensor type exists it can not be assigned directly, please check the Advanced sensor options below for more information)
Configuration
Sensor assignment configuration is done on done in the Sensor Definitions page of the profileAssignment profile type. The sensor definition page offers the 
Add, 
Remove and 
Duplicate sensor assignment options. When adding new sensor assignment to the profile, first step is to select sensor type you want to use in the given assignment:
...
In addition exact parameters of the method can be specified, which can be helpful in filtering when the class has many method with the same name. If parameters are left out then all methods with the given name will be instrumented, regardless on number/type of parameters. Note that parameter oder order is taken into account.
The following example show a instrumentation configuration for the constructor of the class novatec.SubTest that has boolean and java.lang.String as parameters:
