How can AppDyamics be used to produce a report showing application uptime?

[CommunityUser]

If you boss gave you the task to produce a report showing we complied with our SLA on a monthly, Quarterly and Annual basis.  How would you achieve it using App Dynamics?

[CommunityUser]

Well as it happens you can develiop an application ontop of the Appdynamics API that pulls out information when you want it. For example I've written an application in PHP that allows exporting metric data to CSV files - so All I have to do is press the button and email the results to my boss.  

My application is charityware 100% open source and you can find it at www.chickenkatsu.co.uk/reporter

for this you just need your SAAS appdynamics details - I would strongly suggest you set up a specific readonly account for your controller  if you want to use this tool, even though I'm not storing any passwords.

alternatively download the source code and run it yourself on any php 5 server with Curl support. :

Hi,

Thanks for writing in.  Yes, Agent provides metric "Availability" which we can see under Metric Browser to to determine whether application is up (/down) time during specific period :
Application Infrastructure Performance| <tier> | Individual Nodes | <NodeName> | Agent | App | Availability

as referred in attached screenshot, you can select "export data" to export to pdf report for selected time trend.

Let us know if that helps.

Thanks,

Arun

Hi Martha,

We do not see such metric in ad4db ui, Can you check if running a query that confirms whether connection is successfully or not using email alerts as referred below helps here:
