Maximum Metric Count per minute

Hi,

Can any one please advise on the below.

I am planning to upgrade our AppD controller from Version 4.2.x to 4.4.x and would like to know if there is an easier way of working out what our current "Metric Count per Minute" is.  Is it possible to find out what this value is from the Controller UI  (as opposed to running database query)?

Thanks

Moses

Hi Moses,

You can create an information point on the internal agent monitoring controller to get a metric count on the controller UI. 

Login in to the internal controller: /controller/admin.jsp

Navigate to information points and use the below information to create one. 

  • Name: MetricUploadProcessorBean.handleRequestBackground
    • Classname: com.singularity.ee.controller.beans.agent.db.MetricUploadProcessorBean
      • Method Name: handleRequestBackground
      • Name: MetricDataWriterBean.writeNumericMetrics
    • Classname: com.singularity.ee.controller.beans.agent.MetricDataWriterBean
      • Method Name: writeNumericMetrics
    • Information Point Custom Metric Definition: 
      1. Name: MetricsPerMinute, Collect Data From: Return Value
      2. Name: MetricCount, Collect Data From: Return Value

Thanks,

Yogesh

Hi @Anonymous,

For this issue, it's best if you reach out to your AppD account rep for further. If you do learning anything valuable from that outcome, please do share it back on this post for creating a knowledge bank of answers for the community.

Hi Yogesh,

Thanks for getting back to me.

I have just had a look at the "/controller/admin.jsp" page but I do not seem to have the option to do what you have advised - please see the attached screenshot.

There are only two areas I can navigate to whilst on this page - Accounts and Contoller Settings. Within the controller setting I cannot add any new entry,  I am currently running AppDynamics Version 4.2.12.2, build 24.

Hi Moses,

 

Please try below steps to login into internal agent.

1. Logout of the controller if already logged in from browser.
2. Hit the below URL and login to the controller.
<Host>:<Port>/controller/?enableAccounts=true
Account: system
User : root
password: <root password>

 

Once you login, please follow earlier suggested steps and let us know if you face any issues regarding this.

 

Thanks,

Yogesh
