Network data in AppD?

Hi,

Is there a way to integrate network layer data into ApD?

For instance, I'd like to know if a particular network interface on a router is racking up packet drops when an application slows down.  Additionally, if netflow shows a change in traffic patterns during a change in application behavior, that'd be good to know, too.

The monitor extension scripts look promising, if I can run them on a linux box and have it read stats from a switch or router.

Thanks!

David

Hello,
Yes you can use the machine agent extension mechanism to get your metrics.
It just runs fine on Linux. Make sure you have a license for your machine
agent (either you have an APM agent locally or a server visibility license).
