Hi Anand, Javaagent does not have a timer to start exactly at 1:05 AM, neither javaagent will start PID, it is the app PID. I have given you evidence with the difference in JVM PID args example below arg is one of the diff arg from app PID and still we are claiming it as javaagent PID. Let's discuss this on web call tomorrow. I am sure if you try to reuse the node name approach after removing nodeName in agent or -D arg, this issue proves otherwise. So I request to try suggestions (reuse node name option) before web call or preferably before next 1:05 AM period today on target host, so call itself will not be needed. If you see later JVM has additional args: -Xlog:gc*:file and XX:NewRatio Just to inform, no other customer ever have faced an issue at exactly 1:05 AM IST and also the PingDirectory app team confirmed too they do not face any issues with any other environment with javaagent, on top of that I shared JVM PID getting started from the app with the different app -D args (i am not referring to agent args here) with 10 secs gap at 1:05 am, all this proves to how PingDirectory app processes start. We want to address your concerns, so let us continue discussion in help ticket or in call tomorrow as i requested please try suggestions it will clear all your doubts. Regards, Arun ... View more

Hi @Anand.Gulla , I see a disconnect, have you checked the support update on the root cause of the April 29 update ticket? I manage support in India and I confirm from supoort ticket#316533? Why have not the user come back in ticket? The root cause with evidence is already shown but i am listing here as you are reaching in community, I suggest you reach any application dev team, You can see there are two JVM PID (javaagent is a thread (premain program) part of app JVM PID and it will not create JVM PID). I have "NOT" shared theory but shared evidence it is the customer starting second JVM PID here. If you see in same host " dld201013230254 " at 1:05 AM two app JVM PID started which is using same -Dappdynamics.agent.nodeName= value and you can see the evidence of difference in application runtime args difference, this args are from app not javaagent. (example app arg -Dcom.unboundid.directory.server.scriptName). Next steps: I have offered web call in tickets/316533 see if you can join we can discuss over your concerns, Also, I will leave it to others to also comment in the community to comment on my analysis.

Hi @rama.rao, Have you reached support as per last post? if issue still exists, share below details: 1. Issue command (telnet <accountName>.saas.appdynamics.com <controller port>) from agent host where app server is running to check connectivity. 2. If agent logs exists share logs folder archive for our review. Ideally agents will fail to connect to UI for below reasons: - Account access key value is not correctly provided in controller-info.xml - User network does not allow connections to UI through firewall, if proxy exists we need to pass -D proxy args additionally to agent java args in startup as in doc  https://docs.appdynamics.com/21.6/en/infrastructure-visibility/machine-agent/configure-the-machine-agent/machine-agent-configuration-properties  I hope that information helps.

Hi Shreya,  If the app has APM node from same machine agent host, then the user needs to make sure APM node hostname and machine agent hostname value are resolved same, one way to force the hostname to be same is using -Dappdynamics.agent.uniqueHostId= arg. Ideally, the machine agent will automatically associate to APM application given the hostname for APM node and machine agent are auto resolved same as well. refer doc https://docs.appdynamics.com/display/PRO45/Standalone+Machine+Agent+Installation+Scenarios I hope that answers. ...

Hi John, By default internal agent is configured to my understanding and the related entry is in domain.xml at path <Controller_install_dir>/appserver/glassfish/domains/domain1/config/ path like below under xml section <config name="server-config"> and the path of agent directory is <Controller_install_dir>/appserver/glassfish/domains/domain1/appagent/ and it is auto filled with config details during installation of controller itself. <jvm-options>-javaagent:${com.sun.aas.instanceRoot}/appagent/javaagent.jar</jvm-options> Regarding no load on flow map query: We see it could be that either agent have reporting issue OR transaction config for Servlet/ EJB/ auto discovery entries are disabled, Can you check below: 1) Under Configure -> Instrumentation -> Transacion detection screen, check if "app server" tier have Servlet and EJB both entry and auto discovery checkbox section are enabled, if using new config 2.0 view, edit "java auto discovery rule" and check above entry settings and enable checkbox if not enabed in UI and see how it goes. (refer sample section we are referring in attached view) 2) If 1) does not help share agent node logs folder for our review in this post we will suggest next steps, That is attach logs folder from <Controller_install_dir>/appserver/glassfish/domains/domain1/appagent/ <ver>/logs/Node1/ path Regards, Arun ...

Hi João Simas, From servers main tab view we see few servers, but we do see no server in application level, as you are trying to associate without SIM enabled, can you confirm if there is app agent associated to same application that machine agent trying to associate in UI.

Hi Venkat, I could not locate any such docs, we see 4.3.x is still available as of now in our download site, however as the agent is couple of years back around mid year of 2017 released we request users to upgrade agent on next scheduled restart , first try agent upgrade on couple of instance instead all at once and if agent upgrade on few instance went well try agent upgrade on other instances.   We have few customers using old agent version we still support debugging but if you face any functionality issue we encourage users to upgrade agent and check behaviour as many enhancements and fixes are in place in recent version. ...

Hi Archana, We see as of now java AppServerAgent.zip installation monitored JVM instance itself, that is all requests part of target JVM process with multiple web application deployed. We suggest to configure -javaagent entry on JVM with target two apps deployed as part of JVM startup setting and try below steps: - As each web application have its own context URI say /bankapp /orderapp are two web context name of two different apps for all sub requests like /orderapp/login /bankapp/checkout, we suggest to create a Servlet rule matching context name so that all requests for one app will be grouped as single BT - You can use split for other segments as in sample view attached above, see if that information helps. https://docs.appdynamics.com/display/PRO44/Install+the+Java+Agent https://docs.appdynamics.com/display/PRO44/Monitor+JVMs ...

Hi, We see machine agent with sim-enabled=false in controller-info.xml will still report h/w metrics like CPU, Memory and basic legacy metrics at node dashboard -> Server tab as in sample view attached. Machine agent (with/without SIM) will not report data under JVM /Memory tab as it is specific to app server agent, If you do not see stats in Server tab, request to share below details: 1) machine agent logs  2) view from server tab from node dashboard and also view from setup -> "appdynamics agents" -> select "machine agents" tab and search for target host name string in search box in UI and share view. ...

Hi, Go through below steps in sequence to get more details on how machine agent registration and association works: 1) How machine agent association works, in brief, based on uniqueHostId (default or specifically passed) https://docs.appdynamics.com/display/PRO45/Standalone+Machine+Agent+Installation+Scenarios 2) Provide only hostname in recent machine agent version if usins <sim-enabled> set to true (default setting) if using older machine agent version, sim setting does not exist, and if you want to associate to the particular app server node, make sure default or value for -Dappdynamics.agent.uniqueHostId= arg value for both app server and machine agent node startup script is the same 3) Starting machine agent is like any java process,  shell> java -jar <MachineAgent_install_dir>/machineagent.jar I hope that information helps.
