Hi Everyone,

I deployed nodejs application with following appd configuration.

var appd = require("appdynamics").profile({
controllerHostName: 'xxx.appdynamics.com',
controllerPort: 443,
controllerSslEnabled: true, // Set to true if controllerPort is SSL
accountName: 'xxxdev',
accountAccessKey: 'xxx', //required
applicationName: 'Integration',
tierName: 'IntegrationTier',
nodeName: 'Integration2',
proxyHost:'xxx',
proxyPort: '80',
debug:true,
libagent: true,
maxProcessSnapshotsPerPeriod : 0
});

and with the following dependencies

"dependencies": {
"axios": "^0.17.1",
"geteventstore-promise": "^1.3.1",
"jsonpath-object-transform": "^1.0.4",
"jsonpath-plus": "^0.16.0",
"minimist": "^1.2.0",
"tunnel": "0.0.5",
"winston": "^2.4.0",
"appdynamics": "4.3.8"
}

Hey Guys

What was the overall solution to this?

Hi Mario,

Generally, this happens when there is no entry point which is automatically instrumented by the appdynamics agent in your application. This will result in BT's doesn't get  detected. In such situations, the agent exposes the API functions which need to be used to discover the custom BTs. Please have a look at the following documentation for more information on the usage of the agent API functions.
