MongoDB detection

I have the latest pro java agent installed on one of our Tomcat based app nodes ... the app is running off of a combination of MongoDB and SOLR server.

The problem is that niether of these is being detected by the agent .. we just see our single app node listed on the Dashboard view.

My understanding from reading docs is that AppDynamics agents to support MongoDB and should automatically detect them ... is there anything special that needs to be done to make that happen ?

Thanks

You have to setup MongoDB as a custom exit point in the Backend Detection section under Configure menu item.

Here are the instructions - http://docs.appdynamics.com/display/PRO13S/Configurations+for+Custom+Exit+Points#ConfigurationsforCu...

The SOLR exit point should show up as HTTP under Remote Services, no additional config needed.

Additionally, you can start up SOLR with the java agent so that it will be shown as a node in its own right.

Let us know the results after you perform the above steps.
