Hi Wahyu, 

 

You should install the Universal Agent on the Application Server machine, that is, on all machines that run an application to be monitored. The controller-book.json rulebook will reside on those machines.

 

The part of the UA system that resides in the Controller home directory will be the agent repository. That's the location from which Universal Agents retrieve the monitoring agents, Java Agent, Machine Agent, etc. 

 

Be sure to browse around the rest of the doc, everything under https://docs.appdynamics.com/display/PRO43/AppDynamics+Universal+Agent

For installing agents, for instance, check here: https://docs.appdynamics.com/display/PRO43/Install+the+Universal+Agent

And for setting up the Controller repository, here: https://docs.appdynamics.com/display/PRO43/Runtime+Agent+Repository

 

Hope this helps.

First a note of information, the Univeral Agent is intended for use in large-scale deployments. To understand some details for the rulebooks, please refer the 4.4 documentation on rulebooks: https://docs.appdynamics.com/display/PRO44/Universal+Agent+Rulebooks
