Hi Everyone,

I deployed nodejs application with following appd configuration.

var appd = require("appdynamics").profile({
controllerHostName: 'xxx.appdynamics.com',
controllerPort: 443,
controllerSslEnabled: true, // Set to true if controllerPort is SSL
accountName: 'xxxdev',
accountAccessKey: 'xxx', //required
applicationName: 'Integration',
tierName: 'IntegrationTier',
nodeName: 'Integration2',
proxyHost:'xxx',
proxyPort: '80',
debug:true,
libagent: true,
maxProcessSnapshotsPerPeriod : 0
});

and with the following dependencies

"dependencies": {
"axios": "^0.17.1",
"geteventstore-promise": "^1.3.1",
"jsonpath-object-transform": "^1.0.4",
"jsonpath-plus": "^0.16.0",
"minimist": "^1.2.0",
"tunnel": "0.0.5",
"winston": "^2.4.0",
"appdynamics": "4.3.8"
}

with the above configuration in place I am making some http calls to other services, But I don't see those transactions in my appd controller, could one some one help me.

Hi Mario,

Generally, this happens when there is no entry point which is automatically instrumented by the appdynamics agent in your application. This will result in BT's doesn't get  detected. In such situations, the agent exposes the API functions which need to be used to discover the custom BTs. Please have a look at the following documentation for more information on the usage of the agent API functions.
