I am looking for advice on statistics or methods to focus and alert on "bad query plans" that cause queries to stall or take much longer. I'll plan on looking into the plethora of stats that are raised for SQL databases but wanted to get advice overall for anyone else looking to tackle this problem and setup alerting for it. Thanks. Doug

Were you ever able to figure this out? I am facing the same situation. Thanks!

I am attempting to create transaction rules that take a variety of request types through a common Windows Service-based C# .NET Framework manually created thread pool. This pool could have say 10 threads. My goal is to start a BT before pool on a request, then have it track through the thread pool that calls external http resources and gets results and then continue that transaction through some final actions to conclusion. The goal is to have complete transactional timing. My questions are as follows: 1. Can the .NET Agent (version 4.5.*) follow a call through such an app pool and emerge on the other side for completion efforts. If so what will some requirements be? 2. How would I need to create Custom Exit Points to assist with capture? 3. Is there any good reference on syntax that would be useful in going .NET Getter Chains. Thanks! Doug

Wow I had no idea that existed. Do you know how long that has been available? I wonder if our original team knew about this for management.

Hi,
Can anyone speak to the challenge of maintaining configurations across a large number of apps and servers? I am wondering if anyone has created a tool to maintain a data-driven solution to config management. I have over 800 applications in one SaaS controller instance with apps moving a lot amongst VMS and containers. Until I get a fully automated solution on their deployments my goal is a centralized repo or database of configs. Thoughts?
My environment is not entirely .NET but thought I'd start here first.
Thanks.

Just to let anyone else know the status I am working heavily with support and other channels to get this addressed. In the meantime one can do a pip install but remove the jackson file in question as a workaround but goal is a clean pip install hopefully soon.

Our team has found a vulnerability in the Python agent 4.5.5 version during a scan and are unable to deploy. Has anyone else found this issue? Here is a request from our DevOps team. Installing the python appdynamics agent 4.5.5.0 pulls in the com.fasterxml.jackson.core_jackson-databind version 2.9.9.1 as a dependency, which includes some critical vulnerabilities (CVSS 9.8) https://nvd.nist.gov/vuln/detail/CVE-2019-14379, https://nvd.nist.gov/vuln/detail/CVE-2019-16335, and https://nvd.nist.gov/vuln/detail/CVE-2019-14540. Could we ask that the next python appdynamics agent update (4.5.6?) use at least com.fasterxml.jackson.core_jackson-databind 2.9.10, which resolves these vulnerabilities. In our environment we did a “pip install appdynamics”, and a pip list afterwards shows the following versions of the packages installed: appdynamics 4.5.5.0 appdynamics-bindeps-linux-x64 9.0 appdynamics-proxysupport-linux-x64 1.8.0.51.1

Thank you so much for the reply! I will check out the velocity site and will get with AppD support on our controller support. Cheers! Doug

We are on the SaaS offering and I am looking only at the built in variables for the HTTP template. Thanks for the note on Apache Velocity. If you can help me troubleshoot the controller-based deepLink to the latestEvent object that would be great.

I have an HTTP template that does not have some of the predefined variable completed when posts happen. Here is an example. Many of them work fine but others do not. Any advice or guides on how to do this? I have exhausted the documentation on this. One of them is {latestEvent.deepLink} which comes back as null all the time. In addition {latestEvent.node.name} seems to never be completed either. Thanks. Template (actual obfuscated data below it as integrated) { "incident_key": "${latestEvent.node.name} - ${latestEvent.application.name}", "description": "${latestEvent.displayName} on ${latestEvent.application.name}", "client": "AppDynamics", "client_url": "${controllerUrl}", "details": { "Event Name": "${latestEvent.displayName}", "Summary": "${latestEvent.summaryMessage}", "Event ID": ${latestEvent.id}, "GUID": "${latestEvent.guid}", "Event Time": "${latestEvent.eventTime}", "Event Type": "${latestEvent.eventType}", "Event Type Key": "${latestEvent.eventTypeKey}", "Application Name": "${latestEvent.application.name}", "Node Name": "${latestEvent.node.name}", "Message": "${latestEvent.eventMessage}", "Severity": "${latestEvent.severity}" }, "contexts":[ { "type": "image", "src": "${latestEvent.severityImage.deepLink}", "alt": "${latestEvent.severity}" }, { "type": "link", "href": "${latestEvent.deepLink}", "text": "View this transaction in AppDynamics" } ] } Here is an actual integrated sample of an actual POST { "incident_key": "${latestEvent.node.name} - xxx Company", "description": "Health Rule State changed from Critical to Warning on xxx Company", "client": "AppDynamics", "client_url": "https://abcd.saas.appdynamics.com", "details": { "Event Name": "Health Rule State changed from Critical to Warning", "Summary": "AppDynamics has detected a problem with Business Transaction abc downgraded in severity and is now <b>warning</b>.", "Event ID": "3399999093", "GUID": "4c2cb73f-1791-461d-9848-x78fa10d17a7", "Event Time": "Fri Sep 06 15:33:55 PDT 2019", "Event Type": "POLICY_DOWNGRADED", "Event Type Key": "Health Rule", "Application Name": "xxx Company", "Node Name": "${latestEvent.node.name}", "Message": "AppDynamics has detected a problem with Business Transaction abc downgraded in severity and is now <b>warning</b>.<br>All of the following conditions were found to be violating<br>For Application <b>xxx Company</b>:<br>1) Errors<br><b>Errors per Minute's</b> value <b>21.00</b> was <b>greater than</b> baseline-based calculated value <b>8.00</b> by <b>2.00</b> standard deviation(s) <b>4.94</b>.
