I have attached agent logs too.

There is contact load against that application server

Hi Farid,

Can you do the following changes and post that you should see the data in your basware saas controller UI:

1) We see the agent version used is 3.9.1 and your controller seems to be in 3.8.5, please be sure that agent version must be lower or equal to controller major version in this contoller major version 3.8 and agent is 3.9.x .

We request you to download 3.8.5 agent from link http://download.appdynamics.com/browse/zone/3/?version=3.8.5.0 Or http://download.appdynamics.com/onpremise/public/archives/3.8.5.0/AppServerAgent.zip 

and install agent and configure controller host, port , application, tier and node name details as you did earlier

2) Restart the JVM and see whether you see JVM statistics in node dashboard -> Memory section

3) Now enable node level property "find-entry-points" flag and save the changes in UI, refer steps to update node property http://docs.appdynamics.com/display/PRO14S/App+Agent+Node+Properties#AppAgentNodeProperties-Toeditar...

4) Now generate load on the standalone server 

5) Open the latest BusinessTransactions.<timeStamp>.log and select the target entry point from list of possible entry points listed in this logs

6) Now define Custom pojo rule under Configure -> Instrumentation -> Transaction detection -> Custom rules section as refered in doc link :
http://docs.appdynamics.com/display/PRO14S/POJO+Entry+Points

You will see load in UI once you generate load on custom rule defined. Please be sure that we suggested custom rule as we see ootb entry points (servlets, ejb etc) are not supported for standaline java application.

Hope the information provided helps to monitor your application using AD.

Regards,

Arun
