You can check the Azure Monitoring extension here, and maybe try to customize it a bit more for your needs: https://www.appdynamics.com/community/exchange/extension/azure-monitor-net-extension/   ... View more

Unfortunantly, AppD's reports are extremely limited. The only way I know to do this is to click on "Dashboards and Reports" and then click "Add report." Name it what you want, and pick the frequency, schedule, and add your email to the Receipients field. For Report Data, under "Report Type" you'll want to select "Controller Audit." By default it grabs everything, so you'll probably want to tell it to exclude things like "POLICY," "LOGIN," "RULE," "CUSTOM_EMAIL_ACTION_PLAN_CONFIG," etc. The ones you'll want to focus on are "OBJECT_CREATED" and "OBJECT_DELETED," and maybe "OBJECT_UPDATED." But it won't give you a lot of information, such as server/node names or anything.   Your best bet is to probably create your own by writing to logs, and if you set Machine availability health rules, you might be able to build yourself a custom dashboard or policy with a 1 week timeframe to know when agents stop responding. However, you'll have to be diligent with adding them as they start to report in. One of the current weaknesses of AppD is that you don't have a large window of time between when an agent stops responding to your controller to when it completely drops off altogether. Machien availability rules help some, but I'm hoping they add a better (and simple) "ping" mechanism in the future.    ... View more

I'm pretty sure it relates to the "events" tab under an application or a EUM app. It allows the user to see and manage events that a policy violation or an "Action" has triggered. Such as the ability to Delete, Archive, and Manually add change events. The documentation for what they can do with it is here: https://docs.appdynamics.com/display/PRO45/Monitor+Events with  sub-docs here: https://docs.appdynamics.com/display/PRO45/Monitor+Application+Change+Events and here: https://docs.appdynamics.com/display/PRO45/Events+Reference   ...

If I'm understanding your question then no I think it's universal since it's a setting on the Controller. If you're using the SAAS Controller, you may need to request AppD to edit the snapshot expiration time for you, I'm not sure, I'm On-Prem. ... View more

If you have a baseline set and these slow transactions are beyond that threshold, then you should be able to see a call graph of the offending transactions. To do this, click on the "Applications" tab, and then click on the application with the slow response times. From there, on the left-hand side you can either expand out "Troubleshoot" and then click on errors and look for Transaction Snapshots with a "blue page icon", and double-click on it, and then drill down from there, or you can click on "Business Transacations", double-click on the transaction with the long times, and then click on "Slow transactions" or "Transaction Snapshots" and double-click on snapshots with the "blue page icon." If you go this last route, you should be able to double-click on a healthy one and a bad one to compare your call charts.   In the future, you can set a Policy to trigger when it goes beyond your baseline too, and get a direct deeplink to the offending transactions. ...

Because of the code, my posts keep getting marked as SPAM and automatically deleted. So I'll be brief:   My advice is to practice with an "email template" first. It has a really good "Test" function which allows you to play around with the code, trigger a condition, and then get an email on it showing you what it'll look like, while also checking for syntax errors. Then I'd move it into the HTTP Requests from there. Your go to document for which variables you can call is this: https://docs.appdynamics.com/display/PRO45/Predefined+Templating+Variables It's a small list of variables, I know, so you have to get really creative, such as trying to strip the variables out of the deeplink or out of the message summary if possible. For syntax help, you can go to the Apache velocity site for help: http://velocity.apache.org/ I would start small with just displaying something like the summary message and deeplink, and then add on one at a time from there. deeplink should just be ${latestEvent.deepLink} and summary should be ${latestEvent.summaryMessage} (they're case sensetive) It's a very limited language, so it may be that you are unable to pull the exact variable you want. Remember to use the #set function to build out your strings if possible. I wish you way more than luck! ... View more

You should be able to run the command in the /etc startup options. I think the document you're looking for at the bottom of the page here: https://docs.appdynamics.com/display/PRO45/Linux+Install+Using+the+RPM+Package#LinuxInstallUsingtheRPMPackage-WhattheRPMPackageDoes   ... View more
