Renaming a Tier in AppDynamics

[Magnus_001]

Greetings,

Is there a way to rename a Tier in AppDynamics from the Web Console GUI?  We are running Java Agent v4.2.14.0, is modifying the Controller-info.xml is the only way to do this?

Thanks,

Huy

You should be able to do it via GUI but you have to make sure you update the controller-info.xml or the java arguments with the new name before you restart the application next time.

Through UI, select the App -> click on tiers and nodes -> select the tier -> click on details at the top -> and on the right hand side, you should see ... or an arrow, click on it and then "Edit properties"

Again, if you do not update the config before the next restart and new tier with the old name will automatically be created.
