Thanks for your help. Problem has been solved. The problem with some AppDynamics agent folder permission issues that's why not all the files were loaded. Now I have another problem with App Agent. creating new discussion. Thanks

Hi Bro,

Have you defined the account-name, access-key, application-name, tier-name, and node-name in the controller_info.xml? If yes, can you attach the machine-agent.log?

Hi there

Firstly did you use the correct Solaris machine Agent, X86 or SPARC?

Can you do the following

Run the following command and provide the output

java -version

Also try and start it manually the following way

navigate to the root <agent installation directory>

and run the following command

nohup java -jar ./machineagent.jar &

Check if the agent starts
