Getting Started
Welcome to Version 4.4 of the AppDynamics App iQ Platform!
AppDynamics helps you to understand and optimize the performance of your
business, from its software to infrastructure to business outcomes.
To learn about new features in 4.4, see What's New in 4.4. For complete release information, see Release Notes. For on-premises
installations, see Upgrade Platform Components for upgrade information.
The AppDynamics App iQ Platform product suite includes Application Monitoring, End User Monitoring, Database Visibility,
Infrastructure Visibility, and Application Analytics, all bound together by the central monitoring and configuration engine, the
AppDynamics Controller.
The topics in this section help you to get started using AppDynamics. AppDynamics Essentials covers common concepts and tasks for
the platform, while product-specific sections cover Application Monitoring, End User Monitoring, Database Visibility, Infrastructure
Visibility, and Application Analytics. The AppDynamics Platform topics describe how to install and administer an on-premises
deployment of the AppDynamics Controller and other backend platform components, the Events Service and EUM Server.

Start Using AppDynamics
This topic gives you an overview of how to get started quickly with AppDynamics, from getting a Controller to start deploying agents.
Get a Controller
The AppDynamics Controller can be thought of as the brains of an App iQ deployment. It's where the AppDynamics Agents send the
information they collect on the activity and performance of the monitored environment. The Controller assembles, processes, and
presents that data.
The first step to start using AppDynamics therefore is arranging for your Controller. You can get one by starting a free trial at www.appd
ynamics.com. After creating your account and starting your trial, you can choose whether to install the Controller yourself or use a
Controller hosted by AppDynamics:
If you choose a SaaS Controller, the Controller is hosted for you and you do not need to install the Controller.
If you choose an on-premises Controller instance, follow the instructions in the AppDynamics portal to download the Controller.
See AppDynamics Platform for more information on installing on-premises platform components.
Log in to the Controller UI
Once you have installed the Controller or arranged for a hosted Controller, you can log in to the Controller UI.
For a SaaS Controller, you will receive an email from the AppDynamics Operations team containing the URL and access
details for your hosted Controller instance.
For an on-premises Controller, you log in using the administrator credentials you created during the installation.
Install AppDynamics Agents
Once you have a Controller, the next thing you'll do is install AppDynamics agents in your environment. The different AppDynamics
modules use different types of agents. For most types of agents, you can use the Agent Download Wizard in the Controller UI to quickly
set up the agents.
Application Performance Monitoring agents run in the application process and apply code-level instrumentation to the application, so
you will need to integrate them in the start up routine of your applications. The Database Agent, on the other hand, is a standalone
process that can monitor many databases.
At first log in, the Controller UI opens to the Agent Download Wizard. Follow the instructions in the wizard to download and install
agents in your application environment. You can access the wizard later at anytime from the home page in the UI. For an overview of
using the wizard, see Install App Server Agents.
Follow the links below for more information on installing the agent for your application type:

Connect the Agent to the Controller
If you are using the agent download wizard, the wizard automatically configures the settings for connecting the agent to the Controller. If
you download agents directly, you'll need to configure the Controller connections.
The following graphic shows the connections the agents use to reach the platform. Naturally, they vary depending on whether you are
using the on-premises or SaaS AppDynamics platform.
It's possible that you will need to adjust the configuration of network components, such as firewalls or proxies, to permit traffic from the
agent to the Controller. The connection is single directional, meaning that agents always initiate the connections to the Controller.
Enable Notifications (Configure an Email Server)
To send notifications, such as health rule violation notifications, the Controller needs to be configured to use a valid email (SMTP)
server.
For a SaaS Controller, you can use the SaaS-provided SMTP Server or your own SMTP Server. For an on-premises Controller, you
need to configure an SMTP server after installation.
See Enable an Email Server for information on configuring an email server.
Start Using AppDynamics
After you've installed agents and restarted your applications, AppDynamics automatically builds an environment of your application. You
can see the model in the dashboards and flow maps view of the Controller UI.
As it monitors your application workload, AppDynamics determines what's normal for your environment and applies sensible defaults for
detecting abnormal activity and application errors. You can likely start using and benefiting from AppDynamics immediately, without
touching the instrumentation configuration. However, when you're ready, you can optimize the configuration to make best use of
AppDynamics for your environment and requirements.

Time Ranges in the UI
Sharing Views With Other Users
The AppDynamics Controller UI is the primary interface you will use to monitor, troubleshoot, and analyze your entire application
landscape, from backend infrastructure and servers to the end user's app.
This topic introduces you to a few of the features of the Controller UI.
Supported Web Browsers
The AppDynamics Controller UI is an HTML 5-based browser application that works best with the latest version of any modern
browser.
The Controller UI has been tested with and supports the last two versions of the following browsers:
Safari
Chrome
Firefox
Microsoft Edge
The Enterprise Console UI also supports the following browser and versions:
IE 10+
A small number of screens in the Controller UI leverage Flash, and require Flash Player 10 or greater; AppDynamics recommends
version 11.
Certain types of ad blockers can interfere with features in the Controller UI. We recommend disabling ad blockers while using the
Controller UI.
Navigating the UI
As you start using the Controller UI to configure AppDynamics and monitor your environment, it's helpful to get acquainted with the
elements of the Controller UI that you'll use most and that are referenced frequently in this documentation.
The exact controls and features that appear in the UI depend on the permissions of your user account and licensed product modules.
For example, with Analytics licensed, you'll have additional controls in application monitoring screens. See Manage Users and Groups f
or more information about user permissions.
The following image shows the main elements of the interface:

The elements include:
Top Navigation Bar – Use to navigate the major product areas and cross product feature areas, such as Alert & Respond and
Dashboard & Reports.
Left Navigation Menu – Use to access sections specific for the product area.
Settings menu – Access pages where you can customize the UI environment, view your account information, or, if permitted by
your user role, configure administration settings for the UI such as add user accounts, configure authentication, and more.
Time range menu – Controls what metric data is represented in the UI. The UI only shows the data generated in the selected
time range. See the following section for more information on the time range menu.
Time Ranges in the UI
The Time Range menu appears in dashboards, the Metric Browser, and elsewhere in the UI. The time range selection determines what
data appears in the main panel throughout the UI, except in the case of a pages such as the Scalability Analysis page, where other time
contexts apply. When you choose a new time range from the menu, it remains the active range as you navigate to other pages in the
UI.
The time range menu has preconfigured time ranges you can choose from, or you can enter a custom time range. Custom time ranges
can be set that terminate in the past, making them useful for analyzing trends over time.
You can save custom time ranges as a named range for viewing later or for sharing with teammates. To save a time range, after you
have selected a custom time range, click the Save icon next to the menu. This adds your custom named time range in the time range
menu. Remove, modify, or share saved time ranges from the Manage Custom Time Range option accessible from the Time Range m
enu.
Sharing Views With Other Users
Troubleshooting an application issue is often a collaborative effort involving multiple Controller UI users. You can share a particular view
of the UI, such as a flow map or metric browser view, with other users using deep links.
A deep link is a shareable URL that retains the time range currently active in the UI. Time ranges that are relative to the current time,
such as "last 15 minutes", are represented as fixed time ranges in the URL.
To share a view, click Settings > Copy a link to this screen to the clipboard. You can then paste the URL where desired and share,
for example in an email or chat window.

as described here.
AppDynamics Lite includes the following license units:
1 unit of Java APM

1 unit of PHP APM
1 unit of Node.js APM
1 unit of Python APM

For End User Monitoring, AppDynamics Lite provides access to a subset of features of the Pro product, as described in Browser RUM
License and Mobile RUM Licenses.
AppDynamics Lite restricts queries to the last 24 hours both from the user interface and via API. In addition, you can manage five
applications on AppDynamics Lite, as well as on AppDynamics Self-Service Pro Trial and Standard editions. To retain history greater
than 24 hours and have unlimited applications, upgrade to AppDynamics Pro.
See http://www.appdynamics.com/pricing/us/ for information on changing or buying licenses.
Transition from Pro Trial to AppDynamics Lite
When the trial period ends and AppDynamics detects an expired AppDynamics Pro Trial license, the Controller resets all agents. See
information on resetting app agents in Manage App Agents.
After the reset, the Controller limits agent registration to one each of the Java Agent, the .NET Agent, the PHP Agent and the Node.js
Agent. The Controller permits the first agent of each type to register and use a license.
AppDynamics recommends you uninstall any agents you don't use. For instructions on how to uninstall an agent, see the uninstall topic
corresponding to your agent type under Install App Server Agents.
