Splunk AppDynamics

Instrument Multiple JVMs on a Single Machine

I am testing AppDynamics with a single application. There are two node.JS processes (actually can be more than two) running on the same machine, and each listens on different port number.

I have tried to assign the same application name, different tier name and different node name for each of these proceses, but I can't get correct information in the Controller UI - in all attempts only one of the tiers will have metrics. AppDynamics simple didn't detect any traffic on other tiers. One strange thing I found is some endpoints for tiers which cannot be shown were appeared under the node which can be shown.

Any specific configuration I need to pay attention in such case (multiple node.JS processes running on single machine)? FYI, I am using the trial license but it seems that it is already a Pro version.

Thanks a lot !

Hi Ricky,

Can you confirm whether libagent property is set true or not?

If not; can you once try setting it true in both the apps and let us know if this persists?

Thanks
