Read the full documentation for details.   AppDynamics Extension for Linux Monitoring Upgrades We've upgraded the extension to a new version of the Extension Commons Library and added a feature for filtering metrics. Read the extensions documentation for details on downloading the latest version of the extension.   Heads Up - What Else You Should Know Below are additional updates that you should be aware of regarding Controller compatibility and profile: In order to customize Business Transaction detection, customers using .NET Agent for Linux v4.5.9 will need to upgrade their Controllers to v4.5.2+. The agent will continue to work with Controllers v4.4.1+, but the customizable detection capabilities require v4.5.2+.  See Agent and Controller Compatibility You can deploy a medium-profile Controller v4.5.8 on AWS with an Aurora database. Aurora provides a highly reliable, high-performance, low-cost deployment option. See Controller System Requirements   See What’s Coming! Join a BETA today We’re currently running BETA programs and we’re looking for new participants: >>[Update] Network Visibility for Java Applications on Windows and AWS Lambda Monitoring (Serverless Computing) are no longer running beta programs.   Resolved Issues This month, we addressed multiple product issues in order to create an improved customer experience. A complete list of resolved issues is available in the full Release Notes. Below is a list of key issues that were resolved:   Languages Error during agent startup from Log4j2 conflict (JAVA-4908) Vulnerability reported in request library used by Node.js agent 4.5.10 (DLNATIVE-2325)   End User Monitoring Correct BT Correlation for Fetch API calls by changing the ADRUM headers from "isAjax: true" to "isAjax:true" (BRUM-4924) Excluding a page type from "Pages and AJAX Requests" excludes all other page types with the same page name (BRUM-4634) Synthetic Agent manipulates the DOM in a way that breaks websites (SYNTH-4126) Slow download of EUM metrics are causing EUM metrics to be dropped (EUMIOT‑1336)   App iQ Platform and On-Premises Platform NPE when loading ADD by bogus Id (METADATA-5774)   Get Started Download Essential Components (Agents, Enterprise Console, Controller (on-prem), Events Service, EUM Components) Download Additional Components (SDKs, Plugins, etc.) AppDynamics Upgrade Checklist For Any Release Product Announcements, Alerts, and Hot Fixes Extensions   Can’t find what you are looking for?

UX App Integration (BT, Correlation, JS Agent Injection) Node Memory Screen Memory Monitoring Main Page Memory Monitoring CMS Dialog Error Detection Custom Service Endpoint App Agent List and Machine Agent List Modals Machine Agents   Phased Upgrade for HA Controllers Upgrade your HA Controller with confidence: the Enterprise Console’s CLI for upgrades has been broken down into a guided, multi-step process that allows you to verify each step and roll back if you encounter any issues. Read the full documentation for details.    .NET Agent for Linux We are excited to announce support for .NET Core on Linux! After running through a beta program, we are making our first version of .NET Agent v4.5.7 for Linux available to the public. This release includes coverage for multiple distribution versions, including CentOS, Debian, and Alpine. Based on customer feedback, we included a sample Dockerfile to help you integrate the agent into your application deployment faster. Look out for a Pivotal Cloud Foundry buildpack in the future. We are not going to stop here — the plan is to continue adding more features and extend coverage with every monthly agent release! Read the full documentation for details.   Java Support Enhancements Java Agent v4.5.6 provides full support for JDK11 installations and also provides out of the box configuration to instrument applications built using the latest version of the Play framework (2.6.x) and Akka HTTP with Scala 2.12. Read the full documentation for a list of supported environments.   Fetch API Support for Single Page Applications (SPA) Starting in v4.5.6, we support the Fetch API for Single Page Applications, an alternative to XHR calls in AJAX, to monitor the performance of Fetch calls that were not previously captured. These additional data points provide you with an added layer of visibility into your application and a deeper look into ongoing performance issues, reducing the amount of time you spend on root cause analysis. Read the full documentation for details.   Switzerland Regional EUM GeoMap Support AppDynamics users can now visualize regional performance in Switzerland, drilling into the GeoDashboard to view performance metrics by location. You also have the option to set this as a default view for easy access in the future.   Track and Display IoT License Consumption To help you better understand your usage of IoT monitoring and license limits, your organization’s IoT license consumption will display in the License Page of the Controller.   Mobile Programmatic Session Control In order to provide you with more control over your mobile sessions, we’re introducing a new API that can be used to define when a session starts and stops. For example, if capturing a mobile session after a period of user inactivity isn’t relevant to your organization but capturing it after particular network request is, you can customize the session stop definition to suit your needs. Read the full documentation  Android ,  iOS ,  Xamarin , and  Cordova for details.   Co-Exist with Other Crash Reporting Solutions For better results when diagnosing mobile issues, the iOS Agent will automatically detect if you are using a separate crash reporting tool and present you with an notification advising you to disable crash reporting in AppDynamics. Read the full documentation for details.   Error Reporting for Xamarin Agents Previously available for only Android and iOS Agents, you can now instrument error reporting for the Xamarin Agent, enabling you to identify code issues faster. The Xamarin SDK will report caught exception and errors, then display them in the Session Details window for deeper insight into your mobile application’s performance. These errors can also be sorted by severity in the Code Issues Dashboard to help you address higher impacting issues. Read the full documentation for details.   ADQL DateTime Manipulation You can now convert DateTime to Strings and Number using new ADQL functions. You have the option to convert a string or number object to a DateTime object to perform time series analysis . Similarly, you can easily convert a DateTime object to a number or a string to aggregate on the date or perform DateTime math. Read the full documentation for details.   Global Top N in Series Function Improvements The Series function will now compute the global top-N over an entire period instead of the top-N for each of the time intervals during that period for a more intuitive analysis of how an application is performing over a longer period of time. For example, you will see the top 5 transactions over a series of 4 hours instead of viewing the top 5 transactions from each hour of that 4 hour period. This change currently applies to SaaS, with on-prem planned for a later release. Read the full documentation for details.   AppDynamics for SAP Enhancements Several enhancements were added in v4.4.1812.0: Support for HTTP proxy with username and password.
