Your gut is correct, for each application type you will need agent that supports that application type. ... View more

Hi Tanmay,   license is dependent on the application you are monitoring, it does not limit you from the types of backends you can monitor for that particular application. If the app you want to monitor (irrespective of whether it makes a http call, database call, etc) is written in java then you need a java license and agent, so on and so forth.   Thanks Gurmit. ...

You will have to build a monitoring extension using script (in this case python script) Please see the link below for more information. https://docs.appdynamics.com/display/PRO43/Build+a+Monitoring+Extension+Using+Scripts ... View more

Hi Jahinippa,   Couple of things here - Is the IP / hostname provided during the install (in your case in response.var file) same as the ec2 instance dns name or IP? - I would also check if there is anything else running on the ec2 instance on the default http port that appdynamics uses (port 8090), netstat command is your friend here. - I would just clean up everything and do a fresh install with user input, i.e. sudo ./controller-appdynamics-4.2.13.1-linux.x86_64.sh   Thanks Gurmit. ...

Hi Edahl,   My answers inline - If we simply add the JVM options to every app instance, when there are no more licenses available for that app (10), it'll simply continue to run without any issues, right?. AppD would just be completely disabled for that instance, right? Yes, that should be the behavior, though i have not tried.   - When an instance is destroyed, will its license be released immediately? The license is released when there is not data for 5 mins (https://docs.appdynamics.com/display/PRO43/Historical+and+Disconnected+Nodes#HistoricalandDisconnectedNodes-NodeActivityandAgentLicensing)  But in your case if the instance is destroyed the license should be released immediately.   - When an instance is destroyed, will one of the other instances be able to automatically pick up that license or will they need to be restarted? I am not tried this but i think the way agent works it looks for license on start so it will have to be restarted.   - Is it possible to more granular than "Application". For example, can we limit license use by Tiers within an Application? I dont think, you can limit by each server though.   Thanks Gurmit. ... View more

Only thing that comes to my mind is the path to javaagent.jar like if you are using /opt/appdynamics/javaagent_home/verxxx/javaagent.jar then you will have to update that. The other way is to create a sym link to verXXX directory each time you install a new version and use this symlink in the path to javaagent.jar in your configurations. ... View more

Hi, You will have to update the controller-info.xml file that has the information about your controller if you are using that file. Also, if you are using ssl and have used your self signed cert then you may also have to update that. Other than that, it is simple, yes ! ... View more
