Here is the log. To replicate, use notepad++ and edit controller-info.xml. Change the encoding to UTF-8 and then restart the machine agent service.

I recently began an effort to automate monitoring of an application. I ran into a problem where the machine agent service would start and then stop. The log file said it was unable to read controller-info.xml. My C# application was using an XmlDocument to load and save the XML. I discovered that it was saving as UTF-8 with BOM. The oringal controller-info.xml was saved as UTF-8 w/o BOM. This small change prevents the machine agent service from running. When I fixed the encoding it started working again. My issue is that any agent service should be capable of handling XML whether it has a BOM or not.

The apps do talk to each other. The system was set up so that the client can type and send a message to the server. The server then sends the same message back to the client. The ouput sequence is as follows: Client Sends -> Server Recieves -> Server Sends -> Client Recieves. This all happens on "localhost" port 8000. Best, Andy

Hello community, I've instrumented 2 C#.Net programs in an AppDynamics Application. I've modified the config.xml (attached) and restarted the coordinator service. Each program is on a different tier. I've create configured instrumentation rules for methods in each program that are good for monitoring. When I start my applications I can see that the obfuscated agent connects. I can see the business transactions for my application and they show up on the flow map after generating some load. What I can't figure out is why the flowmap does not show a connection line between the green bubbles. I attached some images to help clarify.

Hello, those instructions didn't work and I was already familiar with OIT and custom classes. It never detects an instance count and the directions for IOT and POCO is very vague. I've attached the config.xml, app.config (from my .NET application), and screen grabs of the configured OIT

Greetings community, In a .NET application that is being monitored I have created business transactions. However nothing shows on the flow map Here is the applications app.config with performance counters enabled. (I had to add an xml extension to post here) Here is my config.xml for the .NET agent Also 2 screen grabs showing the business transaction The documentation is vague about business transactions so I am asking the community for help.

The solution to object instance tracking is to define custom .NET classes and specify them using a plus sign (+) instead of a period (.). For example: App+MyClass

I am in the right part of the documentation but it is missing the shell command for Windows

I figured out how to add my custom classes to AppDynamics. AppDynamics isn't recording any data on the classes though it records data at the tier level. For example I have an App class, App.MyURL, App.MyCPU, etc... Do those look like fully qualified class names?

Hello community. I am new to AppDyn. I'll try not to ask homework questions. To understand AppDyn better I wrote a custom C# application with performance monitoring enabled. In my AppDyn application I was able to add a custom class so I picked the main class in my application. My app was designed to be degenerate so that AppDyn could have something to complain about. The problem is that when I look at the top classes that were monitored I don't see my class. I monitor memory usage and AppDyn connects to the C# application. Can someone answer the question of why my class doesn't show up in the list?
