Hello, from your log, it looks like your account name and key are missing from your controller-info.xml configuration.
This page explains how to get the values to use: https://docs.appdynamics.com/display/PRO44/Agent-to-Controller+Connections#Agent-to-ControllerConnections-FindingYourAccountNameandAccessKey
But what I recommend is getting the agent from the Java Getting Started Wizard in the UI. That way, you'll get the settings you need for your instance preconfigured in the config file.

Hi Nisha,
Renaming your node in the UI should work fine until the next time the agent/monitored app restarts. At that point, the node will pick up whatever name has been specified in the agent configuration, which would be the old name unless you have made the config change mentioned in the doc.
The way you change the name in the configuration depends on the agent type. For Java Agents, it would commonly be set in the controller-info.xml file. See https://docs.appdynamics.com/display/PRO44/Install+the+Java+Agent#InstalltheJavaAgent-ConfiguretheJavaAgent for details.
If renaming is not working in the UI at all, make sure you are logged in with a user who has sufficient permissions. If you are not, you would get an error when attempt to save the Node Properties with the new name (although I see that the error may not be entirely clear).

Hi Wahyu,
You should install the Universal Agent on the Application Server machine, that is, on all machines that run an application to be monitored. The controller-book.json rulebook will reside on those machines.
The part of the UA system that resides in the Controller home directory will be the agent repository. That's the location from which Universal Agents retrieve the monitoring agents, Java Agent, Machine Agent, etc.
Be sure to browse around the rest of the doc, everything under https://docs.appdynamics.com/display/PRO43/AppDynamics+Universal+Agent
For installing agents, for instance, check here: https://docs.appdynamics.com/display/PRO43/Install+the+Universal+Agent
And for setting up the Controller repository, here: https://docs.appdynamics.com/display/PRO43/Runtime+Agent+Repository
Hope this helps.

Hi Sundar, I'm still working on getting an example for you, but in the meanwhile, you may find it helpful to review sample script that processes an event. See https://github.com/bnagallo/ExportParams-AppD
The way that the doc puts it, "where "x" is the position of the condition", isn't quite clear.... As I read https://github.com/bnagallo/ExportParams-AppD/blob/master/appd_alert.sh, those values (i.e., $CONDITION_NAME_x, etc) are accessed by parameter position in the list of parameters passed by the Controller when calling the scipt.
The sample script checks the number of triggered conditions, and cycles through the parameters by incrementing position reference (CURP). So with two conditions, the first THRESHOLD_VALUE_x would be accessed at parameter position 28, roughly and the next one at around 40 or so.
As I say, I'll try and get confirmation on this for you, along with a sample.

Overview
The AppDynamics integration with Pivotal Cloud Foundry (PCF) lets you easily deploy AppDynamics-monitored applications on the PCF platform, gather performance and infrastructure metrics, and leverage transaction analytics capabilities. At the center of this integration are three distinct tiles:
1. Application Monitoring for PCF : For performance monitoring of applications running on Cloud Foundry.
APM is provided through AppDynamics support inside the standard Cloud Foundry buildpacks and Service Broker deployed through the tile.
Transactional Analytics for applications are provided via the AppDynamics Analytics Agent, deployed through the tile.
An Extension Buildpack is provided to help instrument Java and .NET HWC applications.
For detailed information on the integration and Application Monitoring for PCF, visit the resources linked below:
AppDynamics Application Performance Monitoring for PCF
AppDynamics Service Broker
AppDynamics Extension Buildpack
2. Platform Monitoring for PCF : For Cloud Foundry infrastructure monitoring . The tile includes:
A Nozzle application written in GoLang to collect the metrics from the Cloud Foundry Loggregator.
A Python application that automatically creates and manages health rules and a Dashboard from those collected metrics.
For product overview of Platform Monitoring for PCF, visit the resources linked below:
AppDynamics Platform Monitoring for PCF
AppDynamics Platform Monitoring for Pivotal Cloud Foundry
Note: Prior to v4.5.460, Application and Platform metrics were managed as one tile. Starting with 4.5.460, Platform Metrics are managed by a separate tile.
3. Application Analytics for PCF: Provides analytics at the transaction level for applications running on Cloud Foundry. The tile includes:
The AppDynamics Analytics Agent that provides Transactional Analytics capabilities.
Support for AWS, Azure, GCP, OpenStack, and vSphere platforms.
For product overview of Application Analytics for PCF, visit the resources linked below:
AppDynamics Application Analytics for PCF
Download AppDynamics Application Analytics
Note: Prior to v4.5.545, Application Monitoring and Application Analytics metrics were managed as one tile. Starting with 4.5.545, Application Analytics Metrics are managed by a separate tile.
With these three tiles, you have access to full performance and infrastructure KPI metrics and out-of-the-box KPI dashboards, health rules, and alerts that enable you to monitor the performance of any PCF platform and correlate it with business data in real time. For overviews of PCF Application Performance and Platform Monitoring, examples of how the PCF Buildpack and Service Broker work, an outline of the Extension Buildpack, and a list supported environments, check out the blog posts below:

Application Monitoring and KPI Dashboard
The APM KPI Dashboard visualizes application performance of the PCF platform on which your AppDynamics tile is running in one single view from your AppDynamics Controller UI. For a deep dive on the monitored PCF performance metrics and instructions on how to use the PCF Dashboard Generator and enable health rules, see AppDynamics PCF KPI Dashboard .
Transaction Analytics
Transaction Analytics provided by the Application Analytics Agent is now part of a new tile, Application Analytics for PCF. With this change, Analytics Agent is no longer part of the AppDynamics Application Performance Monitoring for PCF tile. For instructions on configuring your tile for analytics, binding applications to the Analytics Agent, configuring your Controller to fetch data from the Events Service and configuring the Analytics Collector on your Controller, visit Configuring Transaction Analytics .
Platform Analytics and KPI Dashboard
Quick to install with minimal configuration and memory usage, the Platform Monitoring for PCF tile allows you to configure infrastructure monitoring with KPI Dashboards, health rules, and alerting capabilities . The AppDynamics Firehose Nozzle uses a lightweight Go SDK to collect and report metrics to the Dashboard. Go Language is the official language for Pivotal Cloud Foundry, so this ensures you’re compliant with PCF. To take advantage of this tile, you’ll need a Go SDK AppDynamics license.

Release Notes and Upgrading
Note: Please note that upgrades from AppDynamics v1.x are not supported. If you previously installed AppDynamics v1.x, uninstall it and install the latest version. This is especially important since the Platform Metrics framework has been rewritten to use the new Firehose Nozzle instead of JMX Bridge.

ICEfaces is an open source Software development kit that extends JavaServer Faces (JSF) by employing Ajax .
It is used to construct rich Internet applications (RIA) using the Java programming language. With ICEfaces, the coding for interaction and Ajax on the client side is programmed in Java, rather than in JavaScript , or with plug-ins .
To create a Business Transaction match rule in AppDynamics that effectively matches ICEfaces entry points, follow these steps:
In the Transaction Detection UI tab in the Controller UI (Configuration > Instrumentation > Transaction Detection), create a new custom match rule.
Choose Servlet as the entry point type for the rule.
For the Transaction Match Criteria, match by URI containing the word faces .
In the Split Trasactions Using Payload tab, split by POJO Method Call. Split based on the second parameter (at index=1) of the com.sun.faces.application.ViewHandlerImpl.renderView() method, getViewId(). For example:
