For each new extension, create a subdirectory under the /monitors directory. The /monitors directory is the repository for the Machine Agent extensions. Add a Monitoring Extension ScriptĬreate a Subdirectory Under the Machine Agent Monitors Directory COLLECTIVE is appropriate for metrics, such as Number of Calls, where you want a value for the entire tier. INDIVIDUAL is appropriate for metrics such as % CPU Busy, where you want the value for each node. AppDynamics recommends using short metric names so that the whole name is visible when displayed in the Metric Browser. Prepend the metric path to the metric name when you upload the metrics to the Controller.Īggregates the metric value by averaging the metric values across each node in the tierĪggregates the metric value by adding up the metric values for all the nodes in the tierįor example, if a tier has two nodes, Node A and Node B, and Node A has three errors per minute and Node B has seven errors per minute, then the INDIVIDUAL qualifier reports a value of five errors per minute, and COLLECTIVE qualifier reports ten errors per minute.

Metric names must be unique within the same metric path but need not be unique for the entire metric hierarchy. See Create a directory under the Machine Agent monitors directory.Ĭopy your script file and the monitor.xml file into the new subdirectory.
