How Tiers and nodes are getting created

[soundarajan]

Hello All,

I see flowmaps are getting loaded with tiers & nodes in dashboard when i open the application window.

I've a doubt like how these things are getting created ,

If i instrument one IIS in a server , how its creating tiers/nodes in the map for that application and assigning the app related nodes or BT's to that tiers.

Regards,

Hi Soundarajan,

  IIS can host multiple Web Apps. In case you are using Automatic Configuration then all the sites hosted on the IIS Server will be instrumented and tier name will be created based on Site name and node name will be created using following rule

<machine NetBIOS name>-<tier>-<IIS site>/<app>

This is explained in following document

https://docs.appdynamics.com/display/PRO44/Name+.NET+Nodes

Please read following as well for additional info
