Monitoring of internal-only web apps?

CommunityUser

We want to monitor a number of internal-only web apps.  Specifically, we want to do various HTTP GET/POST operations to assert that the web apps are in a healthy state.

  1. Is the Synthetics monitoring the right tool?
  2. If we use AD SaaS, how can we monitor web apps that are not publicly accessible.

Thanks,

Kelly

Hi Kelly,

- I tried in local using controller hosted on ec2 (similar to like saas hosted on other network/aws) instance and i could acccess ec2 UI in local browser but i confirm we could not generate synthetic snapshot eum data for local web app url in my case http://localhost:8078/BasicSample/InputSubmit.do though accessible in local browser but when provided in "generate syntheric snaphot " url field it raises URL not valid and it looks only public URL are eligible for synthetic snapshot feature case as per local observations.

- Regarding the query on how to monitor internal-only webapps, Can you provide and check below options:

a) Are we trying to monitor Servlet URI requests if yes are not we looking for configuring agent on server (say server runs on jvm at runtime) and to see requests as BT https://docs.appdynamics.com/display/PRO40/Monitor+Business+Transactions

https://docs.appdynamics.com/display/PRO41/Install+the+Java+Agent

if yes are you looking for Servlet split by http post/get requests here https://docs.appdynamics.com/display/PRO41/Custom+Naming+for+Servlet+Transactions

What is the server type (tomcat, weblogic etc) we are trying to monitor and what types of requests we are trying to monitor, as per your requests it looks HTTP servlet requests right?

b) If you are looking for End user monitoring data only here, does using following features is an option:

https://docs.appdynamics.com/display/PRO41/Manual+Injection

https://docs.appdynamics.com/display/PRO41/Automatic+Injection

https://docs.appdynamics.com/display/PRO39/Install+the+On-Premise+End+User+Experience+Management+Pro...

Check if that information is what we are looking for here.
