First troubleshooting steps 

During troubleshooting, we recommend that you keep track of your process, observations, and any error messages in case you ultimately need to reach out to Support. 

If you are experiencing login issues on AppDynamics Controller, here are some troubleshooting tips you can try: 

  1. Double-check your credentials:  
    Make sure you are using the correct username and password to log in to the Controller. If you are unsure about your login credentials, try resetting your password.

  2. Clear your browser cache:  
    Clear your browser cache and cookies and try logging in again.

  3. Verify the Controller URL:  
    Log in to Account Management portal and check that you have the Controller listed under your account.
