All Other Traffic - <TierName> BT should not get created unless you either experience Application or Node/Tier BT overflow, or enable Business Transaction Lockdown. I've never seen or heard of this happending otherwise. If this is not the case for you, it might be good to create a support ticket if you are able to. You can do so by going to https://help.appdynamics.com or emailing help@appdynamics.com. ... View more

Did you ever have Business Transaction Lockdown enabled at one point? ... View more

Hi Sundarapandian, As I tried to explain, you will continue to see the All Other Traffic (AOT) BT displayed in the BT list once it is created, however, as you can see in your screenshot, the load/traffic falling into that BT is zero. You can filter out this as well as any other zero load BTs within the timeframe you are viewing by selecting the box for displaying only BTs with load under filters. I presume at one point you either had overflow or had enabled Business Transaction Lockdown, at which point, the out-of-the-box AOT BT was created. Hope that helps. ... View more

"All Other Traffic" BT, once created, cannot be removed. However, existence of this BT does not mean traffic will automatically flow in to this BT as you had alluded to in your original post. There are only two reasons you will see traffic get caught by the "All Other Traffic" BT; If either or both of following are in place or occurring: You have Business Transaction Lockdown enabled. You have BT overflow situation, either at the Controller Application level or Agent/Tier level. So if neither of the above case is true, you will see traffic get registered against any of your other "first-class" business transactions as you normally would. If there was load in All Other Traffic BT perviously, you will start to see the data fall off as new data no longer gets caught by this BT. I know that presence of this All Other Traffic bucket BT does not make the BT screen pristine, however, these BTs do not count towards the limit, and the filter checkbox of Transactions with Performance Data will not display this BT (along with any other BTs) if there was no load present for them within the time frame you selected. ...

Hi Sundarapandian, I assume you mean changing the Application Name from the Controller UI by going to "Edit Application Properties". If so, you can do so and no JVM/agent restart is required at that point in time, however, and this is important, you do need to go and update all of the agent's configuration where you have specified the application name to match this new name before next time the JVMs/Agents do get restarted. Otherwise, they will start reporting into a "new" application with same name as the old one once they restart. ... View more

Hi Ugis, Yes, I agree and also my opinion that this could be better documented. There were internal requests previously regarding this, but does not seem like it has been fully followed through. I'll look to follow up internally again. Appreciate it and sorry you had to spend some additional cycles due to this.  ... View more

Best practice would be to put any "static" content in the controller-info.xml file and any "dynamic" content as environment variables or system properties that can be managed/configured at deployment time. If all the agent properties you use are available as either environment variables or system properties, there is nothing stopping you from completly managing them via the environment variables or system properties if you have means to do so as part of your provisioning/deployment process. Also keep in mind there is "agent.properties" file that can be utilized as well. For agent upgrades, any setting you have put into the config files will need to be "merged" or reconciled with the new version when you drop that in. If only using environment variables or system properties, then, I think you probably don't have much to worry about in this aspect 🙂 ... View more

Hi Nick, Current version of UA (as of this writing) does not support managing DB Agents. Only Java Agent and Standalone Machine Agents are currently supported. Other agent support is coming, though I don't have any information on when DB Agents specifically may be supported by UA... ... View more
