How to instrument custom Java class and methods and enable monitoring

Hi,

I am a wily developer, and I have recently started learning about AppDynamics like how to setup and enable monitoring using AppDynamics.

I would like to know how do you instrument custom java methods in AppDynamics. In Wily we use these custom PBDs where along with the wily keywords we add the fully qualified java classpath and methods names to monitor and wireup this pbd file with the profile file.

So how do you do the same in AppDynamics?

Thanks,

Rakesh

Hi, 

Unlike CA, you don't need to access remotly to the agent to add instrumentation on such method. You can just add a custom instrumentation point from the GUI. Please refer to the following for additional details (https://docs.appdynamics.com/display/PRO41/Information+Points#InformationPoints-CreatingInformationP...

Have a nice day

Thanks Aymen, that was very informative and easy to implement as well!!

Also I have another question, do you have thick/standalone client to login to controller? I donwloaded the trial version for mac but after installation it provided a localhost weburl using which I can access Appdynamics controller. Bu with this I am unable to acccess anything as I see the busy loading icon and cannot navigate to any of the options like dashboard, Alert & Respond etc.,

Appreciate your help on this.

Thanks,

Hi, 

The only way to access to Appdynamics is through its UI (https://docs.appdynamics.com/display/PRO41/Using+the+Controller+UI)

You should use the controller hostName instead of localhost and you should check your firewall rules.
