How to set tiername in clusteragent to split reporting by cluster/namespace

[Kenny_Yu]

My current cluster-agent.yaml has appName repeated 3 times. I hope there is a way for setting a tiername such that on the report, I can separate the results by cluster, or even better, by namespace. I can put the same k8s deployment in either different k8s namespaces (cheaper) or clusters, and need appd to report on them separately.

========= cluster-agent.yaml =======

spec:
appName: "EPOCH-svc"
image: "docker.io/appdynamics/cluster-agent:latest"
serviceAccountName: appdynamics-cluster-agent
nsToMonitor: [nodejs,dev1,dev2,perf1]
stdoutLogging: "true"
instrumentationMethod: Env
nsToInstrumentRegex: nodejs
defaultAppName: EPOCH-svc
logLevel: "DEBUG"
instrumentationRules:
- namespaceRegex: nodejs
instrumentContainer: select
containerMatchString: epoch-awsmw-offerms-dcp
language: nodejs
appName: EPOCH-svc
imageInfo:
image: "docker.io/appdynamics/nodejs-agent:22.7.0-16-stretch-slim"

Yes, we have recently added this tierNameStrategy with CA auto instrumentation.

Thank you for sharing the solution!

It turns out that I have to dig deep into tierNameStrategy and tierName to work with the capability of the deployment pipeline.
