How change the name of database agent?

[Henry.Tellez]

Hi everyone

I updated the version of my database agent and by default, appdynamics set the name like a "default database agent", but I need customize the name for each one, but I could find out where set up this configuration. Can anyone help me to know where change the database agent name?

thank's

Hi @Tiong.Koh 

I executed the command in CMD console in the server and the output was the attached file, the name don´t change after that, the command was the next:

java -Djava.library.path="E:\AppDynamics_DB" -Ddbagent.name="DBAgent01" -DLog4jContextSelector=org.apache.logging.log4j.core.async.AsyncLoggerContextSelector -jar E:\AppDynamics_DB\db-agent.jar

I don't know where is the problem or if I did something wrong

See bolded text

java -Djava.library.path="<db_agent_home>\auth\x64" -Ddbagent.name="Scarborough Network Database Agent" -DLog4jContextSelector=org.apache.logging.log4j.core.async.AsyncLoggerContextSelector -jar <db_agent_home>\db-agent.jar

Hi

The solution was the next on Windows:

1. go to path : x:\<db_agent_home>\bin

2. Edit the file called DataBaseAgentService add the next line to the end of the file:

-Ddbagent.name=(your collector name)

3. Go to service and restart the appdynamics database agent

Attached print like an example
