Configuring application with appdynamics

CommunityUser — Wed, 28 Jan 2015 09:44:27 GMT

hello team,

I am new to APPDynamics and i am using to check the server reponse and other activities.... i downloaded the java agent and did changes as mentioned in catalina.bat file.

What changes needs to be done exactly in controller-info.xml file. I read that if you are giving autonaming as "TRUE", i need not change anything for the appliation name,

I am not sure how to proceed further for the controller download and setup. then how to configure the application which needs to be monitored.....

Could you please help me with these...

Hi ,

We request you to skip to add below entry for now in <agent_dir>/conf/controller-info.xml as this will generate node name which you might not want for now:

<auto-naming>true</auto-naming>

We request you to provide the details in following xml element in controller-info.xml file and save the changes and restart jvm with -javaagent entry point and check BT detection once load made under corresponding application name in controller UI , change values for contoller host, port and app, tier and node names as per your requirement:

<controller-host>yourControllerHostIPValue</controller-host> <controller-port>8090</controller-port> <controller-ssl-enabled>false</controller-ssl-enabled> <application-name>bookDemo1</application-name> <tier-name>eCommerce</tier-name> <node-name>ecNode1</node-name>

And if you want to monitor another jvm under same tier and application in UI , we request you to point to another agent install directory and provide <node- name> value different say:
<node-name>ecNode2</node-name>

Regarding controller setup , refer doc links:

https://docs.appdynamics.com/display/PRO40/Install+the+Controller

and we understood you have referred doc https://docs.appdynamics.com/display/PRO40/Install+the+Java+Agent and https://docs.appdynamics.com/display/PRO40/Apache+Tomcat+Startup+Settings for agent config. Hope that information helps.

Arun

Hi Arun,

Thanks Again....

There are two options available to monitor the application. One is to create application and other is to import application.

Since i already have my application up and running. I would like to import the same and monitor the requests and accesses made in that application.

When i click on Import Application, its asking for a XML file. Is it that the controller-info.xml file, which i have to import or whch one!!

Also please clarify on the below things, i have highlighted my understanding, correct me if something is wrong.

<controller-host>yourControllerHostIPValue</controller-host>---- is the system IP where i have donwloaded the APPdynamics
<controller-port>8090</controller-port>
<controller-ssl-enabled>false</controller-ssl-enabled>
<application-name>bookDemo1</application-name>--- what should i provide here... any naming to be followed or is this the name for our conveneince
<tier-name>eCommerce</tier-name>--- what is the tier name
<node-name>ecNode1</node-name>-what is the node name

Please help me out !!!

Thanks in Advance!!

Hi,

Please find our response to your queries inline:

>>> When i click on Import Application, its asking for a XML file. Is it that the controller-info.xml file, which i have to import or whch one!! ?

Answer: No export/import application option in UI is used to export and import only meta data that contains details of BT names discovered , tier and custom rules etc in exported application xml

controller-info.xml file is not related to export and import feature, i would request you to go through the docs once:
https://docs.appdynamics.com/display/PRO40/Export+and+Import+Business+Application+Configurations

https://docs.appdynamics.com/display/PRO40/Install+the+Java+Agent

>>>> Also please clarify on the below things, i have highlighted my understanding, correct me if something is wrong.

<controller-host>yourControllerHostIPValue</controller-host>---- is the system IP where i have donwloaded the APPdynamics

Answer: Above element should point to ip/host name where controller.exe/sh is installed , say you have installed controller-4.0.exe at host INSChndrK007.com Or ip 192.678.1.80 and you should provide value as below:

<application-name>bookDemo1</application-name>--- what should i provide here... any naming to be followed or is this the name for our conveneince

Any valid text string name that would like to associated different agents/jvm under one application in controller UI, say eCommerceApp and the same applies to tier and node xml elements, it is just valid string that you want to name your jvm with agent to be associated with particular name in controller UI under application name provided above in <application-name> element

<tier-name>eCommerce</tier-name>--- what is the tier name
<node-name>ecNode1</node-name>-what is the node name

Let us know if that answers your queries.

Arun

Hi Arun,

I am using Saas, For this Controller installation is not mandatory... When i restart the JVM, i am getting the following error in the log file.

[Thread-0] 02 Feb 2015 16:09:02,492 ERROR JavaAgent - *******************

Re: Configuring application with appdynamics

Arun_Dasetty — Mon, 02 Feb 2015 11:04:43 GMT

Hi,

Regardless whether it is saas / OnPremise, you should provide values in <agent_dir>/conf/controller-info.xml file for tier and node-name xml elements and need to restart JVM, Hope that clarifies.

Please do provide details as suggested and restart jvm and that should help agent to register at controller UI

Regards,

Arun

I have changed the controller - info. Xml file already as suggested.
I have mentioned my application name and then tier name n node name too
and I restarted jvm after changing and I got this error in the logs.

Hi,

We assume the you have provided controller-info.xml in which node name "MetricStreamCB" is updated from path C:\AppServerAgent-ibm-4.0.0.0\ver4.0.0.0\conf\controller-info.xml , let us know if any disconnect, if this is case, please change the -javaagent entry line below as suggested :

Before update:

set CATALINA_OPTS=%CATALINA_OPTS% -javaagent:"C:\AppServerAgent-ibm-4.0.0.0\javaagent.jar"

After update:
set JAVA_OPTS=%JAVA_OPTS% -javaagent:"C:\AppServerAgent-ibm-4.0.0.0\javaagent.jar"

And now make sure you have not set CATALINA_OPTS environment vairable as system level, if set unset for time being and try to start tomcat using script "cataliana.bat run" from <tomcat_dir>/bin path and see how it goes after jvm restart

Regards,

Arun

Hi Arun,

Yes, i have given the node name as "MetricStreamCB" in controller -info.xml.

Now i have made the changes to the variable JAVA_OPTS as suggested and i have retained the CATALINA_OPTS entry as it is. I also re-started as suggested. Still my log file says Java Agent is disabled. Below is the entry for the same

Hi,

In my earlier update i meant to remove the below line, we see you have not remove the below line , please remove the following line and see how it goes after restart:

set CATALINA_OPTS=%CATALINA_OPTS% -javaagent:"C:\AppServerAgent-ibm-4.0.0.0\javaagent.jar"

And leave the following line as it is in catalina.bat file:

set JAVA_OPTS=%JAVA_OPTS% -javaagent:"C:\AppServerAgent-ibm-4.0.0.0\javaagent.jar"

If issue persits, please send the info.log and run.log as i could not see agent related stacktrace in tomcat log provided earlier

cmd> type C:\AppServerAgent-ibm-4.0.0.0\ver4.0.0.0\conf\controller-info.xml > info.log
cmd> catalina.bat run > run.log

Arun
