Renamed application and separate data

When we started using the appdynamics it automatically recognized and gave a name to the application "Application X".
So this application has been renamed to "01 - Application X".
Upon returning to work today, it had been re-created an 'Application X ", getting all the previous baseline in "01 - Application X ".


How to gather the data that is the same application, but are just different names?


Thank you,

Hi Valter,

We confirm that the data in other app at tier level cannot be moved or imported to other application,

The reason for the application name got automatically recrated to new name or old name "Application X" because user did changes to application name in UI and have not updated the monitored jvms startup with -javaagent entry that have agent config referring to old application name , please make sure you update on next jvm restart if you change app name in UI else on agent node jvm reset or restart it will still use old name as per settings in controller-info.xml or -Dappdynamics.agent.applicationName

As we cannot move tier/app level data what we can do here, go to node dashboard to wrong associated app and select "move this node"  option from actions meny and see if that helps

Hi akumar,


So I managed to move the node successfully.
But in this case I'll be without the information collected while this node was in another application? is no way to move or copy the application to which the node was taken? I say because they were three days of information captured. and now I will turn a blank space of three days.

Thanks for your help.

Hi Valter,

Are you looking at node dashboard in target node OR application dashboard, we confirm the source application from whcih node is moved will not have the node level data as we moved it but this should not affect tier and app level data already stored at old application , see if that clarifies.

feature related doc link for reference: https://docs.appdynamics.com/display/PRO39/Move+an+App+Agent+for+Java+Node+to+a+New+Application+or+T...

Yes it was clear.

Actually the baseline it continues, only the data is not displayed because they are in another application.

Thank you.
