Thanks for the clarification Adrian.   The Java agent collects heap, memory, and GC-related metrics from standard JMX MBeans in the instrumented JVM. These metrics are available whether or not verbose GC logging is enabled. This means that the agent does not have access to the verbose GC logs and does not analyze these logs to calculate "GC Pause Duration" or "GC concurrent Duration". The agent does provide metrics for "Garbage Collection Time Spent (ms/min)" broken down by "Minor Collections", "Major Collections", and "Total". I believe that these metrics should be helpful for fine tuning the GC performance, with less overhead and effort than generating verbose GC logs and running a GC log analyzer on these logs.

Hi Sashi, The best fit is to use the "AWS Billing Monitoring Extension" to collect the billing metrics from AWS Cloudwatch. Once these metrics are in the Controller, you can create a custom dashboard that combines server availability and cost on a single screen. You can also configure Health Rules to alert you if the usage is higher (or lower) than you expect.   Attaching a screenshot showing AWS Billing and other Cloudwatch metrics on a custom dashboard.   Regards,   ...

Hi Adrian, To clarify, the AppD agent monitors the Garbage Collection metrics and reports the results in the "Memory" dashboard. The agent does not trigger major or minor garbage collections. The JVM will do this automatically, influenced by the memory-related configuration parameters specified at JVM startup. The agent will passively collect and report metrics that expose the behavior of the JVM.   Regards, ... View more

The values must be integers. It's possible that it's rejecting these floating point values. ... View more

What gets written to stdout when you run launch.cmd? Other than the odd spelling of "NetworkBandwidt" I don't see anything obviously wrong with the script or configuration. ... View more
