Which two methods are used for confirming the agent is communicating property to the controller? (Choose two.)

  1. Check if data is being written to the agent log in /logs
  2. Log in to the Controller Ul > Settings cog icon > AppDynamics Agents In the list look for the agent in the list by machine hostname.
  3. Select Application > Tiers and Nodes > Look for the Node.
  4. Use Grep for the agent process on the application server using the specific agent version name

Answer(s): A,C

Explanation:

To confirm that the agent is communicating properly to the controller, you can use the following methods:

Check if data is being written to the agent log in /logs. This indicates that the agent is able to send metrics and events to the controller. You can also look for any errors or warnings in the log file that might indicate a connection issue.

Select Application > Tiers and Nodes > Look for the Node. This shows you the list of nodes that are registered with the controller and their status. You can see if the node is up or down, the agent version, the last reported time, and the machine name.

Which statement about assigning roles to a group is true?

  1. A role must be assigned to at least one group
  2. All users in a group have the same roles.
  3. A role can only be assigned to one group
  4. A group can contain multiple roles

Answer(s): D

Explanation:

A group can contain multiple roles, which means that the users in the group inherit the permissions of all the roles assigned to the group. For example, you can create a group that has both the Administrator and the Analytics Administrator roles, and the users in that group can perform both the administration and the analytics tasks.

What kind of problems are detected with Infrastructure monitoring? (Choose One)

  1. slow method calls
  2. thread pool problems
  3. garbage collection problems
  4. blocked threads
  5. process level problems

Answer(s): E

Explanation:

Infrastructure monitoring is the feature in AppDynamics that allows you to monitor and troubleshoot the health and availability of the servers that host your applications and their components. Infrastructure monitoring includes metrics such as CPU utilization, memory usage, disk I/O, network traffic, and so on. You can use infrastructure monitoring to detect and resolve the problems that affect the performance and reliability of your servers and applications.

According to the Server Visibility - AppDynamics, the following kind of problem is detected with infrastructure monitoring:

Process level problems: These are the problems that occur at the process level of the server, such as high CPU consumption, memory leaks, excessive disk I/O, or network congestion. You can use infrastructure monitoring to identify the processes that are consuming the most resources, and drill down to the details of each process, such as the command line, the environment variables, the open files, the threads, and the sockets. You can also use infrastructure monitoring to correlate the process level problems with the application performance problems, such as slow response time, high error rate, or low throughput.

Therefore, E (process level problems) is the correct answer.

Your organization has defined a set of health rules that accurately represent the business functions of its applications.
Which two ways should you help the organization see the current status of health rules and events of the business process? (Choose two.)

  1. Set up a policy to send an email or text when a health rule status changes.
  2. Create a report that runs every night and sends out the status.
  3. Leave the mam applications page open for all to see
  4. Create a dashboard with health and events widgets displayed.

Answer(s): A,D

Explanation:

Health rules are the criteria that AppDynamics uses to evaluate the performance and availability of your applications and their components. Health rules can trigger alerts and actions when the conditions are violated or cleared. Events are the occurrences that AppDynamics records when something significant happens in your monitored environment, such as a health rule violation, a policy execution, a deployment, or a custom event.

According to the Health Rules - AppDynamics, the following two ways can help you see the current status of health rules and events of the business process:

Set up a policy to send an email or text when a health rule status changes: This way, you can get notified in real time when a health rule condition is met or cleared, and take appropriate actions to resolve or prevent issues. You can configure policies to send emails, texts, or other notifications to specific recipients or groups, and include relevant information such as the health rule name, the affected entity, the severity level, and the time range.

Create a dashboard with health and events widgets displayed: This way, you can visualize the health and performance of your applications and their components in a single view, and drill down to the details of each health rule or event. You can create custom dashboards with various widgets that show the health status, the event list, the event summary, the event correlation, and the event timeline of your applications and their components.

Therefore, A (Set up a policy to send an email or text when a health rule status changes) and D (Create a dashboard with health and events widgets displayed) are two ways that can help you see the current status of health rules and events of the business process.

Which two actions would trigger a health rule violation canceled warning event or a health rule violation canceled critical event? (Choose two.)

  1. Mark the health rule as canceled
  2. Add a new condition to the health rule.
  3. Disable the health rule
  4. Remove the health rule from a policy

Answer(s): B,C

Explanation:

A health rule violation canceled warning event or a health rule violation canceled critical event is generated when the health rule processor can no longer accurately assert that the health rule violation continues to violate or that it has ended. This can happen when the health rule is edited or disabled, among other reasons. Adding a new condition to the health rule or disabling the health rule are two actions that would trigger a health rule violation canceled event, as they would change the evaluation criteria or stop the evaluation altogether. Marking the health rule as canceled or removing the health rule from a policy are not valid actions, as they do not affect the health rule configuration or status https://docs.appdynamics.com/appd/22.x/22.1/en/appdynamics-essentials/alert-and- respond/troubleshoot-health-rule-violations
