AppDynamics Cloud Highlights

Revised 8/24/22

Anomaly detection

Now also available within service instances, the anomaly detection algorithm has been updated to calculate baselines, which helps to reduce false alerts, and improved issue detection. View detected anomaly details to understand and assess health. (GA v22.7 Released July, 2022)

Kubernetes event details page

You can now drill down from the Events Summary to an Event Details page including timestamp, event messages, and affected entities. Apply filters to view a specific set of events, like severity, cluster, or time range. (GA v22.7 Released July, 2022)

Restrict  data ingestion from cloud services

Define granular restrictions on what data is ingested in AppDynamics Cloud with tag-based controls. Get only the data you want, with better utilization of AppDynamics licenses and fewer API calls to your cloud provider. (GA v22.7 Released July, 2022)

Tag filtering and grouping

Easily discover and organize data by grouping and filtering with tags. This feature improves troubleshooting efficiency by enabling you to filter group entities and their corresponding MELT data, as well as limiting health rule evaluation scope. (GA v22.7 Released July 28, 2022)

For an overview of what's included in this feature, and how to use it, see Getting started with tags in AppDynamics Cloud.
