Removal of Adobe flash-based screens continues to be a priority within the product. We are releasing ten converted screens (listed below) as part of v4.5.5 and expect to convert many more in the next few releases.
With generic snapshot correlation, we’ll attempt to match and tag business transactions and snapshot identifiers to database visibility data to provide a better integration across your entire PHP application and relational database. Read the full documentation here.
Database visibility monitoring sessions are now tagged with a descriptive name, enabling you to see and track them in the monitored database instance.
The results of your custom query metrics are validated, so that if the resulting value is a non-integer, a descriptive error message is displayed. Read the full documentation here.
In v4.5.4, we introduced Network Agent support for up to 50 Application containers running on the same node as that of the Network Agent. Building upon those performance improvements, the Network Agent (v4.5.6 of the agent) can now support up to 50 Application Agents running on the same server as that of the Network Agent, in a single tenant or multi-tenant environment.
To separate the task of configuring application performance monitoring and analytics, we've introduced a third tile on the Pivotal Network specifically for application analytics. With this tile, you can deploy an Analytics Agent in the PCF environment to report transactional analytics to your Controller. Additionally, the Extension Buildpack now supports the Java Agent, allowing for advanced configuration and the masking of sensitive information. For details, visit the Application Performance Monitoring, Platform Monitoring, and Application Analytics for PCF Release Notes. You can also check out the latest blog post.
We’re excited to introduce v3 of the AppDynamics and ServiceNow integration, which offers support for ServiceNow Operational Intelligence. Using the AppDynamics-ServiceNow Data Sync, metrics will flow directly from your AppDynamics Controller to your ServiceNow instances. Take advantage of ServiceNow features like anomaly detection and alerting for automated ITSM and ITOM workflows driven by deeper insights into your infrastructure and applications. For details on the integration, functionality, and metrics, check out our latest blog.
