Full-stack Observability

  • EUM (cookie consent) Enhancements
    Your users are now prompted to acknowledge their consent with base page cookies. This allows AppDynamics to collect the information necessary for correlating user business transaction activity (EUM) with backend performance. See the Cookie Consent Management documentation for more information.
     
  • Database Monitoring Enhancements
    A number of roles, or states of the replica set and sharded cluster, have been added for viewing. These include primary, secondary, startup, recovering, and rollback. View these in the Topology tab for Database Agent 21.9.0 and greater.

    Additionally, the Couchebase collector is enhanced with a Filter by Phase in the Queries page and elapsed time for the phases report in the Activity page.


    Learn more about these Database Monitoring enhancements in the Release Notes.
