C++ native client monitoring does not work

[CommunityUser]

Hi,

I am evaluating AppDynamcis. I am trying to connect to a SaaS controller from C++ native application. Followed all the instructions as mentioned here 

https://docs.appdynamics.com/pages/viewpage.action?pageId=42583437#UsingtheC/C++AgentSDK-addheaderto...

Added header

Added code to initialize sdk

Performed multiple BT 

but i can't see anything in the UI dashboard. Can someone please tell me what am I doing wrong??

const char APP_NAME[] = "Test1";
const char TIER_NAME[] = "T1";
const char NODE_NAME[] = "Node1";
const char CONTROLLER_HOST[] = "my.saas.appdynamics.com";
const int CONTROLLER_PORT = 443;
const char CONTROLLER_ACCOUNT[] = "myaccount";
const char CONTROLLER_ACCESS_KEY[] = "myaccesskey";
const int CONTROLLER_USE_SSL = 1;

int main()
{
    appd_config* cfg = appd_config_init(); // appd_config_init() resets the configuration object and pass back an handle/pointer
    appd_config_set_app_name(cfg, APP_NAME);
    appd_config_set_tier_name(cfg, TIER_NAME);
    appd_config_set_node_name(cfg, NODE_NAME);
    appd_config_set_controller_host(cfg, CONTROLLER_HOST);
    appd_config_set_controller_port(cfg, CONTROLLER_PORT);
    appd_config_set_controller_account(cfg, CONTROLLER_ACCOUNT);
    appd_config_set_controller_access_key(cfg, CONTROLLER_ACCESS_KEY);
    appd_config_set_controller_use_ssl(cfg, CONTROLLER_USE_SSL);    
    const int initRC = appd_sdk_init(cfg);

    if (initRC) {
        std::cerr << "Error: sdk init: " << initRC;
        return -1;
    }

    for (int i = 0; i < 10; ++i)
    {
        // start the "Checkout" transaction
        const appd_bt_handle btHandle = appd_bt_begin("Checkout", nullptr);

        Sleep(1000);

        appd_bt_add_error(btHandle, APPD_LEVEL_ERROR, "Failed", true);

        // end the transaction
        appd_bt_end(btHandle);
    }
    
    appd_sdk_term();

    return 0;
}

Hi,

The same for me, what is really weird, that appd inint method returns success. BTW were you able in the meantime resolve the issue.

Hi,
The issue was license :). You need additional license for C++ SDK even for Python. I somehow traced it in the error log file.
So yeah, init will return success but nothing will work.
