Starting in version 4.5.1, the Network Agent supports Node Name Reuse for nodes running in dynamic environments where server instances are continually shut down and restarted. If Node Name Reuse is enabled on a Java Agent, it is automatically enabled on the corresponding Network Agent as well. When the server shuts down and is marked as historical, the node name becomes available for reuse in both the Application Dashboard and the Network Dashboard. Note that Node Name Reuse results in the following differences between the Application flowmap and the Network Visibility flowmap: In the Application flowmap, when a node name is reused, the historical metrics associated with the shutdown node are retained. In the Network Visibility flowmap, when a node name is reused, the network connections represent only the connections that are made after the node has restarted.

AppDynamics no longer supports the Standalone Machine Agent on Windows 2008 because Microsoft mainstream support has expired and extended support will expire soon (https://support.microsoft. com/en-us/lifecycle/search/ 1163). The 4.5 Controller is supported with 4.4 Standalone Machine Agents so you can still upgrade your agents to the latest 4.4 release. The 4.5 agent should work on Windows 2008 but has not been tested and is not supported. Debian 7 support was also removed in 4.5 because the end-of-life for this release was May 2018 (https://wiki.debian.org/DebianReleases).

Hi john.aronson, I've updated this article to clarify that the default maximum limit for Standalone machine Agents in 4.2.4 and higher. Are there other areas where you're seeing mixed messages? I updated the product 4.2, 4.3, and 4.4 docs a few weeks ago to ensure this default max is correct.
