Export of Call Graph

Hi Everyone,

I have the task to export the call graph from recorded transaction snapshots in a plain format for further processing. Therefor the PDF Export button on the transaction snapshot overview is not useful.

I tried to get this information with the help of the rest api, but unfortunately this information can't be queried.

Also looking inside the AppDynamics tables, I found the table "requestdata_summary" with the column "snapshot_data" which seems to hold some binary data, but I have no glue, how to use this data.

Any information on how to extract the call graph from the AppDynamics Controller is very appreciated. 

Btw. I'm using AppDynamics Version 4.1.7.2 on Linux

Thank you,

Boris

Hi Karun,

with the "need-exit-calls" the call graph is not included in the response ;(

Included is the response of the suggested request and the corresponding UI of the Call Graph.

Best regards,

Boris

Ok, yeah. It appears that there is no rest API that will export the call graph unfortunately. You were on the right track to get this info from the database.
I wonder if you can use any of the free pdf to text converter programs.

Hi Karun,

there is no possibility to get the "convert" method of the binary data of the call graph database column? 

Creating the PDF is, as far as I know only possible via the Export button inside the Controller GUI, which makes an automatic processing very complicate.

Regards,

Boris

Does the rest url like the following help?

http://<AppDynamicsController>/controller/rest/applications/prod/request-snapshots?time-range-type=BEFORE_NOW&duration-in-mins=10&need-exit-calls=true&output=json
