Team, I came to know that federated friendship feature where controller cross app correlation works is going to be decommissioned in future releases? If that is the case - i think this is one of the very good feature and should not be decommissioned. Not sure on what basis this has been decided. Please loop the product manager and let them hear our voice of not decommissioning this.   Referring this: https://www.appdynamics.com/blog/product/cross-controller-federation-ensuring-application-visibility-and-correlation/ Appreciate help and response.   P.S.: Just wanted to make sure that product team knows the importance of functionalities that users are using. Like not sure why "Compare Releases" feature was decommissioned without any user feedback which was really handy and helpful.   Regards, VVS ... View more

Experts, I have raised this concern to my company associated appdynamic account managers last year but thought to share my views to see if anyone working/worked/informed on this requirement. So my ask is to have continuous Availability of appdynamics controller with minimal outage or downtime for controller maintenance is required i.e. somewhat an active-active architecture. Believe me - current appd architecture is too old school with watchdog and all. We have multiple deployments and each time we face some or the other issue. For e.g. we use to have hygiene infra updates and get the servers restarted each quarter breaking replication. Though we plan it out in such a way that either of nodes (primary/secondary) is active. But post which as soon as final replication is triggered, it demands for outage. I know appd is working to re-architect the architecture but as per my info controller is out of scope i.e. controllers (esp app server of appdynamics) will still be HA and not CA. I don't want to compare with other APM tools but I really want to say that lot of work needs to be done on appdynamics architecture to meet new design requirements (resilient, horizontal scalable, non-disruptive, continuous available, stable) Hope it makes any sense.

Team, Currently we have passwordless SSH enabled via internal Auth framework. So if i run below command from SerevrA, i can enter ServerB without entering any password. $bash@ServerA: ssh ServerB ..... ... $bash@ServeB:    But this authentication is not happening via regular SSH keys but some internal credential cache in auto-rotation mode. As a result, using EnterpriseConsole we cannot use any keys to "Add Hosts".   But to achieve HA deployment of controllers across ServerA and ServerB as Primary and Secondary - we were thinking to deploy controllers as localhost and later change the deployment from localhost to HA pair by enalbling one as Primary and another as secondary.   Has any body tried in this way or any suggestion?   Regards, VVS ...
