Node Name + Tier Name

[CommunityUser]

I have two java process running on same host and I want to monitor them using java-agent. Both the java process will have same application name and node name but different tier name. To Simply

Two Java process A and B.

Started the first java process with below configuration:

Application Name: ABC

Tier: A1

Node Name: XYZ

Everything works fine could see the metrics on controller.

Then I start the second java process with below configuration:

Application Name: ABC

Tier: A2

Node Name: XYZ

First java process stops reporting the metrics and there are no errrors.

I understood that the problem is that I cannot have same node name for both java process. Since If I start the second java process with different node name it works. But Node name is pertaining to host and I would not like to change it. Any workarounds?

As you noted, you cannot have the same node name for two different nodes in the same application.

But you want to easily determine the host name from the node name.

I would suggest that you use something like:

Node Name: <hostname>_TierA1

Node Name: <hostname>_TierA2
