Capturing nested Http requests among different applications on the same server

Can AppDynamic capture the nested Http requests among different applications on the same Tomcat server ?  For instance,   browser -> request A of app 1 -> request B of app 2 ?  If so, in the call graph does AppDyanamic capture it as one nested call graph or multiple call graphs ?

Hello,

 If i understood the query correctly, in your case you have only JVM(one tomcat server) with multiple webapps deployed(multiple .war files) in same tomcat server and your request flow is :

Ex: http://host:8080/LoginApp/getUsers?id=1 request makes  inner http call to http://host:8080/LoginService?id=1

then you can configure/associate your JVM(tomcat server) to a tier/node under an application in controller UI and 

Yes, AppDyanamic capture it as one request snapshot with multiple call graphs 

Ex: request1 -> Call graph -> HTTP external call (click drilldown to see the code executed in the other app) -> call graph

 

Let us know if that answers your query

If you registered your apps as "tiers" under an "application" in AppDynamics then yes you can follow that particular request between these tiers. And the call graph stack is seperated for those tiers.
