Hi @senthilraja.ramamoorthy ,

Here's the link to the blog post where you can find " Best Practices for Instrumenting Containers with AppDynamics Agents"  - https://www.appdynamics.com/blog/engineering/how-to-instrument-docker-containers-with-appdynamics/.

You can find best practices tied to installing agents at runtime using environment variables and sidecar container. Hope, this helps.

Thanks,

Sunil Mutyala
