Hi Sarah,

Please have look at the following documentation

Controller Installation

https://docs.appdynamics.com/display/PRO44/Controller+Deployment

App Server Agent: We have an agent for each language.  Please select appropriate Agent

https://docs.appdynamics.com/display/PRO44/Install+App+Server+Agents

Java Machine Agent :

Roles:

Controller collects all the metrics, processes them and you have a UI to view all the collected metrics

App Agent collects application metrics from your business application ( PHP, .Net, Java etc)

Java Machine Agent collect System/Hardware metrics

Please review
