hi @dardar , its complicated. in essence yes there is an API, as everything that you can see in the controller UI has a restui API behind it. However while restui APIs are used (eg Dexter uses them, my rapport app uses them) they are not documented and subject to change. ... View more

Hi, In general, if you can do it from the UI there is an undocumented API that will let you do this. for processes, I can see there are a SIM API eg https://<tenant>.saas.appdynamics.com/controller/sim/v2/user/machines/<node>/processes?timeRange=last_1_hour.BEFORE_NOW.-1.-1.60&limit=1000&sortBy=CLASS so in theory you should be able to iterate this API asynchronously for all the nodes. I can add this to my free Rapport tool to demonstrate  ... View more

Hi Tran.vinh, if you would like another example of how to get a token using an API secret, i'm doing the following on my rapport application: (https://github.com/open768/appdinc/blob/main/auth.php its in php, but hopefully you get the gist) the querystring i use is $oHttp->request_payload = "grant_type=client_credentials&" . "client_id=$app@$account&" . "client_secret=$api_secret"; with extra headers: $oHttp->extra_headers = ["Content-Type" => "application/vnd.appd.cntrl+protobuf;v=1"];  then do a GET request to the API for your controller  "/api/oauth/access_token" this returns the access token to use for the API. HTH 🙂 ... View more

@Saifuddin.Arif ideally the uptime should be 100% always. there are times however that the agent cant communicate with the controller and this will affect the uptime. These include: the node was stopped - eg for an upgrade the container that the node was on was stopped or destroyed the host that the agent is on could be too busy - e.g the CPU is too high. in this case the agent will pause communication with the controller until the host has recovered. the agent has a limited buffer so if it cant contact the controller for a protracted amount of time there will be data loss there is a problem with the host filesystem - eg a disk might be full. the machine infrastructure alerts should  there is a network problem somewhere between the host and the controller there is a problem at the controller side the first port of call is to reset the agent - if still seeing dropouts check the agent log files to see what errors there are. if the dropouts continue its worth raising a support ticket. Hope this helps  ... View more

Hi there, well the premise is that if you can see it in the controller you can get at it through the undocumented restui that the controller uses, but it does take a bit of analysis to figure out the correct calls to make. (also beware with restui as its undocumented its subject to change, but on the flip side dexter and other appdynamics tools also make use of restui calls) for example in my rapport application i extract a fair bit of information using restui calls. for example i surface all the healthrules for an application on a single web page. I did make a start at extracting the BT configs and could add the BT threshold to that . let me have a think. @Haluk Yaşar.Erol maybe we could have a crack at this together?

Hey @Haluk Yaşar.Erol , I applaud that you're sharing your code. great!!👍 Also you might want to look at my open source "rapport" tool which I also developed it like you, starting with simple scripts and going on to develop a complex web application. I also use the api for extracting agent versions for each application. heres a screengrab of what it looks like. Rapport can be found at https://chickenkatsu.co.uk/apps/rapport maybe we can collaborate, im happy to add features to Rapport that you or anyone in the community would find useful. regards Sunil ...

Hey Pratik, i've not found a way to do this through the API. but you can count the number of agents per application to give an insight into where the licenses may be being used eg I do this in my my open source rapport application  Rapport is free and can be found at https://chickenkatsu.co.uk/apps/rapport/   Sunil ...

another approach, if there are a small number of metrics for which this level of detail is needed,  would be to set up a batch job that uses the REST apis to extracts the minute by minute data into an external data repository.  Regards Sunil - https://www.chickenkatsu.co.uk/apps/reporter/ ...

I doubt that. As if the appdynamics web app can list the users, there must be an Api, documented or not, that gets the details. I'll investigate and post back with what I find. ... View more

Hi Santosh. I think you're asking how to monitor the monitoring tool with appdynamics, is that right? For that you would need to contact the tech support of the monitoring tool to establish what type of application server (if any) they use. If it's a standalone exe, with no application server, it's unlikely to instrumentable. Another aspect you may want to explore is whether appdynamics could do the monitoring function of the monitoring tool being used. ... View more

Yes off course so long as the agent starts up with your app server running locally on your laptop. Though you should use the non prod licenses from appdynamics for your dev enviroment which are usually provided at discounted rates, and you should configure non-prod agents to their own application so that you don't affect production statistics. You can download the fully configured agent from the agent download wizard in the controller. ... View more

https://www.chickenkatsu.co.uk/apps/reporter/ &nbsp; the main reason that I created this application was that I wanted something that could look across all my applications, tiers, transactions, and nodes and quickly give me information about this so that I could focus in on problems without having to spend time creating dashboards, and would be flexible to adding more applications, tiers etc. &nbsp; A recent problem I've solved in this application is, when there are excessive calls to a backend I can identify the Business transactions (BT) that are causing the calls, and drill down into the BT. You can do this using the controller, but it would take literally thousands of clicks in the controller to set up a dashboard that shows this for each backend in each application, and then it wouldnt be flexible when a new app was added or a backend added/removed. &nbsp; in the reporter, pick an application, pick a backend and drill down to transactions using that backend, its that easy! &nbsp; There a demo mode which means you can see all the functionality without entering any controller details. Its free, open source, and I'd love to demonstrate this at a user group meeting. &nbsp; ... View more
