I'm not entirely sure, because I haven't played around with the DEXTER tool much myself, but according to the DEXTER extension's (here: https://www.appdynamics.com/community/exchange/extension/appdynamics-dexter-data-extraction-enhanced-reporting/) walkthrough part 3 page. It looks like you may be able to pull that from the Entity Metrics or Entity Details parameters?   Documentation: https://github.com/Appdynamics/AppDynamics.DEXTER/wiki/Walkthrough-Part-3 ...

As far as application performance monitoring is concerned, AppD has a C++ APM agent: https://docs.appdynamics.com/pages/viewpage.action?pageId=45486533   You just need to install it on the server your C++ app is running on and then configure it to report into your controller. Since it is a home made application, you should know the classes and methods so that should make configuring your Business Transactions pretty easy. ... View more

I don't think 4.2 agents can talk to a 4.5 controller for Server Visibility, which is what you probably have if you are running a SAAS Controller. I think you need a minimum of 4.3, as shown here (might as well upgrade to 4.5 agents): https://docs.appdynamics.com/display/PRO45/Agent+and+Controller+Compatibility#AgentandControllerCompatibility-AgentVersionsSupportedbyControllerVersion4.5.x   Sounds like you did all the correct configs to get it to work minus the compatability issue though. ...

If it's not automatically picking up the IIS names, can you try to manually configure one or two and see if that helps? Documentation for that is here: https://docs.appdynamics.com/display/PRO45/Configure+the+.NET+Agent   ... View more

You can do it with Chef if you have that level of automation, if not you can write a script. Assuming you're going to the same controller and don't want to do anything fancy with hierarchies and are fine with grabbing default server/node names, then the controller-info.xml file will be the same for all agents.   .Net Script documentation: https://docs.appdynamics.com/display/PRO45/Unattended+Installation+for+.NET Java Documentation: https://docs.appdynamics.com/display/PRO45/Automate+Java+Agent+Deployment   ...

First null pointer exception says it's not finding an entry point to kick off the agent. Since you're using Containers, the install is slightly different, this documentation may help you: https://docs.appdynamics.com/display/PRO45/Deploy+Using+Containers   Also, if you're using SSL, make sure you're using the correct port. ...

The Metric Browser isn't technically the only metrics you can browse on, I believe you can configure the custom metrics and if given the correct permissions in the Controller, the business data. The documentation for both are here: https://docs.appdynamics.com/display/PRO45/Configuring+Custom+Metrics and here: https://docs.appdynamics.com/display/PRO45/Collect+Business+Data+From+SQL+Calls   ...

Have you checked the ServiceNow custom extension? Here: https://www.appdynamics.com/community/exchange/extension/appdynamics-servicenow-rest-api-alerting-extension/   You can maybe pull the parameters you're sending to ServiceNow and convert that into an Action. Or possibly send the data to ServiceNow first, and then do an HTTP Request or API call from there to combine the two metrics? Not sure though, we use ServiceNow a my organization but I haven't played with the extension myself, we did basic integration of opening tickets off emails. ... View more
