Glimpse - Cache Tab not appearing

Question

One of the main reasons I am trying to setup Glimpse is for its ability to view items cached using HttpRuntime.Cache. I have followed several tutorials on setting up Glimpse in a project, but can never get the Cache tab to appear. I create a new MVC 5 project in Visual Studio (so it was stripped down to just template data), installed the Glimpse NuGet packages, and still was not able to get the Cache tab to appear.

These are the following NuGet packages installed on my ASP.Net MVC 5 project:

• Glimpse - 1.8.6
• Glimpse.Ado - 1.73
• Glimpse.AspNet - 1.9.2
• Glimpse.Mvc5 - 1.5.3

Here is the barebones web.config file after the installation of the NuGet packages:

Here are some of the articles I've seen showing Glimpse does have a Cache tab:

• Glimpse Blog
• Github Wiki
• Glimpse NuGet
• Code Project

Can anyone spot any reason why I would not be able to view the Cache Tab?

Answer 1

Try to install Glimpse.AspNetCache of Manage NuGet
