Hello,   we couldn't see a couple of nodes under a specific tier (can see only 2 nodes out of 4). I can see config.xml is updated on these 2 missing hosts. This is a .NET App   Tried to restart appdynamics agent service followed by app pool recyle, which didnt help.   When look in to the agent log , i see ....."Error MachineAgentManager Metrics Maximum metrics limit reached [200] no new metrics can be created. This exception will not repeat until restart.Exception: com.appdynamics.ee.agent.commonservices.metricgeneration.metrics.spi.qe: Maximum metrics limit reached [200] no new metrics can be created.

Hello,   Does AppDynmics consider any exception that is logged with a severity WARN to decide a business transaction as error?   Doc: https://docs.appdynamics.com/display/PRO42/Errors+and+Exceptions  says,   " ...Any exception that is logged with a severity of Error or Fatal (using Log4j, java.util.logging, Log4Net/NLog or other supported Logger listed in the Supported Environments and Versions page)....,"   Please confirm if AppDynamics also considers log messages with severity “WARN” or can it be made possible   Thanks!

Hello,   Could someone please explain what is 'User Data' thay we see under 'Data Collector'  and from where it gets captured?   We have default 'Http Data collector' enabled & we also could see this user data under Data Collector. When snapshots drilled-down on this user data, it shows them as Collector Type 'Business Data'   Is this User Data part of Https Data collector,if not from where it gets collected.   Thanks!         ...

Hello,   I'm trying to use this relative metric path "Business Transaction Performance|Business Transactions|accountsummarywebapi.webfarm.ms.com_prod/accountsummary|*|Number of Slow Calls", however the "current evaluation status" all show grey, including Health, Evaluation Status & Status By Node.   I'm trying to use "AFFECTS" as 'Business Transactions within the Specified Tiers' and have multiple tiers chosen. The CRITICAL Condition has multiple conditions with different thresholds (see attched screenshots)   If i choose metric from the default metric tree in the condition section, then the evaluation seems to be working (metric chosen from metric tree.PNG)   Please advise why evaluation doesn't work when relative metric path is used.   Thanks!
