NEW QUESTION # 30
Which two statements are true when updating the Database Agent? (Choose two.)

• A. The Database Agent must be stopped and restarted during the upgrade.
• B. All data collectors created from the previous agent must be migrated to the new agent.
• C. Controller-info.xml is the only file that needs to be migrated from the previous agent to the new agent.
• D. If the agent is moved to a new location during the upgrade, the AppDynamics Controller must be reconfigured to reference the new location of the agent.
• E. After the Database Agent is upgraded, the AppDynamics Controller must be restarted.

Answer: A,C

Explanation:
Explanation
According to the Cisco AppDynamics Professional Implementer (CAPI) documents, when updating the Database Agent, you need to follow these steps12:
Stop the agent as described for your specific installation in Start and Stop the Database Agent.
Make a copy of the existing agent directory, <db_agent_home>. Backing up allows you to revert to the previous agent installation if you need to. You can also copy over the controller-info.xml configuration file to the new installation to ensure the agent configuration is maintained.
Install the Database Agent as described for your specific installation in Administer the Database Agent.
Copy the <backup_db_agent_home>\conf\controller-info.xml file to the new installation directory,
<db_agent_home>\conf. To ensure the agent configuration is maintained, copy the
<backup_db_agent_home>\conf\controller-info.xml file to the new installation directory,
<db_agent_home>\conf.
Start the new agent. See Start and Stop the Database Agent.
Verify the Database Agent Installation. See Verify the Database Agent Installation.
Therefore, the correct statements are:
The Database Agent must be stopped and restarted during the upgrade. (A) Controller-info.xml is the only file that needs to be migrated from the previous agent to the new agent.
(D)
The incorrect statements are:
If the agent is moved to a new location during the upgrade, the AppDynamics Controller must be reconfigured to reference the new location of the agent. (B) This is not true because the controller-info.xml file contains the information about the Controller host, port, account name, access key, and SSL settings. As long as this file is copied to the new agent location, the Controller does not need to be reconfigured.
All data collectors created from the previous agent must be migrated to the new agent. This is not true because the data collectors are configured on the Controller UI, not on the agent. The agent collects the metrics from the databases and sends them to the Controller. The data collectors do not need to be migrated to the new agent.
After the Database Agent is upgraded, the AppDynamics Controller must be restarted. (E) This is not true because the Controller does not depend on the agent version. The agent and the Controller are compatible as long as they meet the Agent and Controller Compatibility requirements.

NEW QUESTION # 31
What are three reasons you would create custom events using the Machine Agent REST API? (Choose three.)

• A. to create an event to be displayed along with Time Series data in a custom dashboard
• B. to create an event to track application deployment
• C. to create a new metric
• D. to create an event to be displayed in a Controller Audit report
• E. to create an event to be used to trigger a health rule violation
• F. to create an alert that is to be triggered when a custom event is created

Answer: A,B,E

Explanation:
Explanation
The Machine Agent REST API allows you to create custom events that can be used for various purposes in AppDynamics. Some of the reasons you would create custom events using this API are12:
To create an event to track application deployment. You can use the API to send a custom event that marks the start and end of an application deployment process. This can help you monitor the impact of the deployment on the application performance and availability, as well as correlate any issues or anomalies with the deployment event.
To create an event to be displayed along with Time Series data in a custom dashboard. You can use the API to send a custom event that contains any relevant information or context that you want to display in a custom dashboard. For example, you can send a custom event that contains the details of a configuration change, a maintenance window, a business transaction, or a user action. You can then use the custom dashboard to visualize the custom event data along with the Time Series data for the metrics you are interested in.
To create an event to be used to trigger a health rule violation. You can use the API to send a custom event that contains a metric value that you want to use as a condition for a health rule. For example, you can send a custom event that contains the CPU utilization of a machine, and then create a health rule that evaluates the CPU utilization metric and triggers a violation if it exceeds a certain threshold. You can then use the health rule violation to generate alerts, notifications, or remediation actions. References: Machine Agent HTTP Listener, Create Custom Events

NEW QUESTION # 32
What becomes more important as an AppDynamics Controller grows beyond supporting 500 agents?

• A. Network throughput
• B. RAM allocated to the Controller
• C. Thread count on the GlassFish server
• D. Disk VO
• E. CPU utilization

Answer: A

Explanation:
Explanation
As an AppDynamics Controller grows beyond supporting 500 agents, network throughput becomes more important. This is because the Controller needs to handle a large volume of data from the agents, as well as serve requests from the UI and API clients. Network throughput is the measure of how much data can be transferred over a network in a given time. A low network throughput can cause delays, errors, or timeouts in the communication between the Controller and the agents or clients. Therefore, it is recommended to monitor the network throughput of the Controller and ensure that it meets the minimum requirements for the expected load123. References: Controller System Requirements, Performance and Controller Sizing Guidelines, How to Run AppDynamics in Microsoft Azure

NEW QUESTION # 33
What are three valid reasons to use the AppDynamics REST API to retrieve metrics? (Choose three.)

• A. to create a custom report to be run monthly to show average node availability
• B. to create an alert using a baseline to send to an internal ticketing system
• C. to retrieve health rule violations
• D. to evaluate health rules
• E. to archive 1-minute granularity data
• F. to calculate a new metric based on two existing metrics

Answer: C,E,F

Explanation:
Explanation
The AppDynamics REST API to retrieve metrics allows you to get values generated for metrics by specifying the path of the metric and the time frame for the data1. Some of the valid reasons to use this API are12:
To archive 1-minute granularity data. The AppDynamics Controller stores metric data at different levels of granularity depending on the retention period. For example, it stores 1-minute granularity data for 8 days, 10-minute granularity data for 32 days, and 1-hour granularity data for 365 days. If you want to archive the 1-minute granularity data for longer than 8 days, you can use the API to retrieve and store the data in an external database or file system.
To calculate a new metric based on two existing metrics. The AppDynamics Controller provides some built-in metrics such as average response time, calls per minute, errors per minute, etc. However, you may want to calculate a new metric that is not available in the Controller, such as the ratio of errors to calls, or the percentage of slow transactions. You can use the API to retrieve the values of the existing metrics and perform the calculation using your own logic or formula.
To retrieve health rule violations. Health rules are the rules that define the performance and availability thresholds for your application components. When a health rule is violated, the AppDynamics Controller generates an event and optionally triggers a policy action. You can use the API to retrieve the list of health rule violations for a given application, time range, and severity level. This can help you monitor and troubleshoot the health of your application and take corrective actions if needed. References: Retrieve Metric Data, Health Rule API

NEW QUESTION # 34
What are two actions that an administrator should take to upgrade an EUM Server that is currently in production? (Choose two.)

• A. Stop the EUM agents,
• B. Update the EUM Server access key.
• C. Run the new installer on the ELUM host machine.
• D. Stop the EUM server before the upgrade.
• E. Upgrade the EUM agents.

Answer: C,D

Explanation:
Explanation
To upgrade an EUM Server that is currently in production, the administrator should follow these steps:
Stop the EUM Server before the upgrade. This ensures that the EUM Server does not process any incoming data from the EUM agents during the upgrade process. The administrator can use the eum.sh or eum.bat script to stop the EUM Server gracefully1.
Run the new installer on the EUM host machine. The installer will detect the existing EUM Server installation and prompt the administrator to upgrade it to the latest version. The installer will also migrate the EUM data from the old version to the new version, if needed. The administrator should follow the instructions on the installer wizard to complete the upgrade2.
The other options are not necessary or correct for upgrading the EUM Server. The administrator does not need to stop or upgrade the EUM agents, as they are compatible with the new version of the EUM Server. The administrator does not need to update the EUM Server access key, as it remains the same after the upgrade. The administrator does not need to install MySQL, as it is bundled with the EUM Server installation package2. References: Upgrade the Production EUM Server and Start and Stop the EUM Server in the AppDynamics documentation.

NEW QUESTION # 35
What are two capabilities of the standalone Machine Agent running on Linux? (Choose two.)

• A. lt can send SNMP alerts.
• B. It can act as a forwarder for analytics events.
• C. It can communicate with multiple AppDynamics Controllers.
• D. It can restart itself if it goes down.
• E. It can start an HTTP listener for custom metrics.

Answer: B,E

Explanation:
Explanation
The AppDynamics standalone Machine Agent is a Java program that runs on a host machine and collects hardware and infrastructure metrics, such as CPU, memory, disk, and network usage. The Machine Agent can also perform additional functions, such as:
Acting as a forwarder for analytics events: The Machine Agent can be configured to forward business transaction, log, browser, mobile, and synthetic events from the application agents to the AppDynamics Events Service, which is a distributed, scalable data store for analytics data. The Machine Agent can also forward custom events from the SDK or API to the Events Service. This allows you to use the AppDynamics Analytics features, such as dashboards, queries, funnels, and metrics, to analyze the performance and behavior of your applications and users12.
Starting an HTTP listener for custom metrics: The Machine Agent can be configured to start an HTTP listener that can receive custom metrics from external sources, such as scripts, tools, or other applications. The Machine Agent can then report these custom metrics to the AppDynamics Controller, where youcan view them in the Metric Browser or use them in health rules, policies, or dashboards. This allows you to monitor any aspect of your system that is not covered by the default Machine Agent metrics34.
The other statements are false because:
B: The Machine Agent cannot send SNMP alerts. The Machine Agent can only receive SNMP traps from external sources and report them as events to the AppDynamics Controller. The AppDynamics Controller can send SNMP alerts to external systems based on health rule violations or events, but this is not a function of the Machine Agent5 .
C: The Machine Agent cannot communicate with multiple AppDynamics Controllers. The Machine Agent can only communicate with one Controller at a time, which is specified in the controller-info.xml file in the agent configuration directory. If you want to monitor the same host machine with multiple Controllers, you need to install multiple Machine Agents on the same machine, each with a different Controller configuration and port number .
D: The Machine Agent cannot restart itself if it goes down. The Machine Agent does not have a built-in mechanism to automatically restart itself in case of a failure or a crash. You need to use an external tool or script to monitor the Machine Agent process and restart it if necessary. Alternatively, you can use the AppDynamics Agent Installer to deploy the Machine Agent as a service, which can be configured to restart automatically on failure .

NEW QUESTION # 36
Which two choices are available when specifying an application in a URL string for the Health Rule REST API? (Choose two.)

• A. Application Alias
• B. Application REGEX
• C. Application GUID
• D. Application ID
• E. Application Name

Answer: D,E

Explanation:
Explanation
The Health Rule REST API allows you to create, configure, update, and delete health rules for multiple applications simultaneously. To use this API, you need to specify the application in the URL string. You can use either the application ID or the application name for this purpose. The application ID is a unique numeric identifier for each application in the Controller. The application name is the display name of the application in the AppDynamics UI. You cannot use the application alias, GUID, or REGEX for the Health Rule REST API. References: Health Rule API and Retrieve All Business Applications in the AppDynamics documentation.

NEW QUESTION # 37
The application server was restarted after an upgrade. What are two valid ways to confirm that the upgraded Java Agent is running successfully? (Choose two.)

• A. Verify that the Java Agent log contains a message indicating the agent started successfully.
• B. Verify that the application log contains a message indicating success.
• C. Verify the Java Agent Version metric for that node in the Metric Browser.
• D. Verify that the node within the Controller Ul indicates the app agent is reporting.

Answer: C,D

Explanation:
Explanation
According to the Cisco AppDynamics Professional Implementer (CAPI) documents, the two valid ways to confirm that the upgraded Java Agent is running successfully are:
Verify that the node within the Controller UI indicates the app agent is reporting. (B) This is a valid way because the Controller UI is a web-based application that allows users to monitor and manage the performance of the applications, tiers, nodes, and other entities that are instrumented by the AppDynamics agents. The Controller UI displays the status of the nodes within each tier, and indicates whether the app agent is reporting or not. If the app agent is reporting, the node icon is green and shows the agent version. If the app agent is not reporting, the node icon is gray and shows the last time the agent reported. The user can also hover over the node icon to see more details, such as the agent type, the agent version,the agent runtime directory, and the agent properties file. The user can verify that the upgraded Java Agent is running successfully by checking that the node icon is green and shows the latest agent version12.
Verify the Java Agent Version metric for that node in the Metric Browser. This is a valid way because the Metric Browser is a feature of the Controller UI that allows users to view and analyze the metrics collected by the AppDynamics agents. The Metric Browser displays the metrics in a hierarchical tree structure, where each node represents a metric category, a metric name, or a metric value. The user can expand or collapse the nodes, and select or deselect the metrics to view them in a chart. The user can also apply filters, time ranges, baselines, and other options to customize the chart. The user can verify that the upgraded Java Agent is running successfully by navigating to the Java Agent Version metric for that node in the Metric Browser. The Java Agent Version metric shows the version number of the Java Agent that is running on the node. The user can compare the metric value with the expected agent version, and check that the metric is updated after the upgrade34.
The incorrect options are:
Verify that the application log contains a message indicating success. (A) This is not a valid way because the application log does not contain any message indicating the success of the Java Agent upgrade. The application log is a file that records the events and messages that occur in the application server, such as the startup, shutdown, errors, warnings, and debug information. The application log does not record the events and messages that occur in the Java Agent, such as the installation, upgrade, configuration, or reporting. The Java Agent has its own log file, which is located in the
<agent_home>/logs directory, and which contains the messages indicating the success or failure of the Java Agent upgrade .
Verify that the Java Agent log contains a message indicating the agent started successfully. (D) This is not a valid way because the Java Agent log does not contain any message indicating the agent started successfully after the upgrade. The Java Agent log is a file that records the events and messages that occur in the Java Agent, such as the installation, upgrade, configuration, or reporting. The Java Agent log contains a message indicating the agent started successfully when the application server is started, not when the Java Agent is upgraded. The Java Agent log does not contain any message indicating the success or failure of the Java Agent upgrade. The Java Agent log is located in the <agent_home>/logs directory, and the message indicating the agent started successfully is "Agent Startup Complete" .

NEW QUESTION # 38
What are two reasons that would require an administrator to install the Events Service cluster manually?
(Choose two.)

• A. Installation on SUSE Linux
• B. Installation on Windows
• C. Security concerns with passwordless SSH
• D. Security requirements to install using a non-root user account

Answer: C,D

Explanation:
Explanation
According to the Cisco AppDynamics Professional Implementer (CAPI) documents, the two reasons that would require an administrator to install the Events Service cluster manually are:
Security concerns with passwordless SSH (B): This is a valid reason because the automated installation of the Events Service cluster requires passwordless SSH access to the target hosts. Passwordless SSH allows the Enterprise Console to execute commands on the remote hosts without prompting for a password. However, some organizations may have security policies that prohibit passwordless SSH access, as it may pose a risk of unauthorized access or malicious attacks. In such cases, the administrator can install the Events Service cluster manually, by following the steps described in the Manual Installation of the Events Service Cluster document1.
Security requirements to install using a non-root user account : This is a valid reason because the automated installation of the Events Service cluster requires root privileges on the target hosts. Root privileges allow the Enterprise Console to create directories, change permissions, and install packages on the remote hosts. However, some organizations may have security policies that restrict root access, as it may pose a risk of accidental or intentional damage to the system. In such cases, the administrator can install the Events Service cluster manually, by following the steps described in the Manual Installation of the Events Service Cluster document1. The administrator can use a non-root user account that has sudo privileges to perform the manual installation.
The incorrect options are:
Installation on SUSE Linux (A): This is not a valid reason for manual installation, because the automated installation of the Events Service cluster supports SUSE Linux as one of the compatible operating systems. The Enterprise Console can install the Events Service cluster on SUSE Linux hosts using the automated installation process, as long as the hosts meet the prerequisites described in the Events Service Requirements document2.
Installation on Windows (D): This is not a valid reason for manual installation, because the Events Service cluster does not support Windows as an operating system. The Events Service cluster can only run on Linux hosts, as it is based on Apache Cassandra, which is a Linux-based distributed database. The Events Service cluster cannot be installed on Windows hosts, either manually or automatically2.

NEW QUESTION # 39
A Java-based web application was instrumented. The browser snapshots provide a detailed look at an individual page request, however the correlated server-side snapshots are missing for all requests. What are two reasons for this missing correlated server-side snapshots? (Choose two.)

• A. Correlated server-side snapshots are visible only if Java version is 1.7+.
• B. Correlated server-side snapshots work only for NET Applications.
• C. Server has set the the HitpOnly flag on all cookies.
• D. Correlated snapshots are visible only if the injection mechanism is Automatic.
• E. Correlated snapshots are visible only if browser is Chrome.
• F. Server side application is not instrumented with server agent.

Answer: C,F

Explanation:
Explanation
According to the Cisco AppDynamics Professional Implementer (CAPI) documents, the two reasons for the missing correlated server-side snapshots are:
Server has set the HttpOnly flag on all cookies. (A) This is a valid reason because the HttpOnly flag is a security feature that prevents client-side scripts from accessing the cookies. However, the AppDynamics JavaScript Agent relies on the cookies to correlate the browser snapshots with the server-side snapshots.
The JavaScript Agent injects a cookie named _appdyn_browser into the browser requests, which contains the correlation information. If the server sets the HttpOnly flag on all cookies, including the
_appdyn_browser cookie, the JavaScript Agent cannot read or modify the cookie, and the correlation fails. To enable the correlation, the server should not set the HttpOnly flag on the _appdyn_browser cookie12.
Server-side application is not instrumented with server agent. (E) This is a valid reason because the server-side snapshots are collected by the AppDynamics app agents that instrument the application servers. The app agents monitor the business transactions that are executed by the server-side application, and capture the execution context, call graphs, errors, and metrics. If the server-side application is not instrumented with the app agent, the server-side snapshots are not available, and the correlation fails. To enable the correlation, the server-side application should be instrumented with the app agent that is compatible with the application server and the Controller34.
The incorrect options are:
Correlated server-side snapshots work only for .NET Applications. (B) This is not a valid reason because the correlated server-side snapshots work for any application server that is instrumented with the AppDynamics app agent, not only for .NET applications. The AppDynamics platform supports various application servers, such as Java, .NET, PHP, Node.js, Python, and C/C++. The app agents collect the server-side snapshots for the business transactions that are executed by the application server, regardless of the programming language or framework34.
Correlated snapshots are visible only if the injection mechanism is Automatic. This is not a valid reason because the correlated snapshots are visible regardless of the injection mechanism. The injection mechanism refers to the way the AppDynamics JavaScript Agent is inserted into the web pages. There are two injection mechanisms: Automatic and Manual. The Automatic injection mechanism uses the app agent to inject the JavaScript Agent into the web pages that are served by the application server. The Manual injection mechanism requires the user to manually insert the JavaScript Agent into the web pages. Both injection mechanisms support the correlation of the browser snapshots and the server-side snapshots, as long as the JavaScript Agent and the app agent are configured correctly .
Correlated snapshots are visible only if browser is Chrome. (D) This is not a valid reason because the correlated snapshots are visible regardless of the browser. The AppDynamics JavaScript Agent supports various browsers, such as Chrome, Firefox, Safari, Edge, and Internet Explorer. The JavaScript Agent collects the browser snapshots for the web pages that are loaded by the browser, and correlates them with the server-side snapshots, regardless of the browser type or version .
Correlated server-side snapshots are visible only if Java version is 1.7+. (F) This is not a valid reason because the correlated server-side snapshots are visible regardless of the Java version. The AppDynamics Java Agent supports various Java versions, such as 1.5, 1.6, 1.7, 1.8, and 11. The Java Agent collects the server-side snapshots for the business transactions that are executed by the Java application server, and correlates them with the browser snapshots, regardless of the Java version or vendor .

NEW QUESTION # 40
Which two statements are true regarding the AppDynamics REST API for retrieving metrics? (Choose two.)

• A. Median is one of the returned values,
• B. End-time value must be provided if using the time-range-type of AFTER_TIME.
• C. Wildcards can be used in the REST API metric path.
• D. Minimum and maximum values are meaningful for all metric types.
• E. Metrics can be retrieved for a fixed time range.

Answer: C,E

Explanation:
Explanation
The AppDynamics REST API for retrieving metrics allows you to get values generated for metrics by specifying the path of the metric and the time frame for the data1. The following statements are true regarding this API12:
Metrics can be retrieved for a fixed time range. You can use the time-range-type parameter to specify a fixed time range such as BEFORE_NOW, AFTER_TIME, or BETWEEN_TIMES. You can also use the duration-in-mins parameter to specify the length of the time range in minutes.
Wildcards can be used in the REST API metric path. You can use the asterisk () character as a wildcard to match any metric name or part of a metric name. For example, you can use the metric path Business Transaction Performance|Business Transactions||*|Average Response Time (ms) to retrieve the average response time for all business transactions in all tiers. References: Retrieve Metric Data, Retrieve Metric Hierarchy

NEW QUESTION # 41
Which artifacts are needed, at minimum, to add a custom extension to a Machine Agent?

• A. Directory
  Zip Extension
  Monitor.xml file
• B. Directory
  Script file
  Config.json file
• C. Directory
  Jar or Script file
  Monitor.xml file
• D. Directory
  Manitor.xml file
  Custom-gxtension.xml file

Answer: C

Explanation:
Explanation
To add a custom extension to a Machine Agent, you need at least three artifacts: a directory, a jar or script file, and a monitor.xml file12. The directory is where you place your extension files under the
<machine_agent_home>/monitors directory. The jar or script file is the executable file that collects and reports the custom metrics to the Machine Agent. The monitor.xml file is the configuration file that defines the name, frequency, and parameters of your extension. You can also optionally include other files such as libraries, configuration files, or templates for yourextension12. References: Build a Monitoring Extension Using Scripts, Extensions and Custom Metrics

NEW QUESTION # 42
Which three AppDynamics Controller properties govern how long metric data is retained in the database?
(Choose three.)

• A. metrics.ten.min.retention.period
• B. metrics. day retention period
• C. metrics.ten.sec.retention.period
• D. metrics week retention period
• E. metrics.retention.period
• F. metrics.min.retention. period

Answer: A,E,F

Explanation:
Explanation
The AppDynamics Controller properties that govern how long metric data is retained in the database are1:
metrics.ten.min.retention.period: This property specifies the number of days to retain metric data at
10-minute granularity. The default value is 32 days.
metrics.retention.period: This property specifies the number of days to retain metric data at 1-hour granularity. The default value is 365 days.
metrics.min.retention.period: This property specifies the number of hours to retain metric data at
1-minute granularity. The default value is 4 hours.
The other options are incorrect because1:
metrics.ten.sec.retention.period: This property does not exist in the AppDynamics Controller. The finest granularity for metric data is 1 minute.
metrics.day.retention.period: This property does not exist in the AppDynamics Controller. The coarsest granularity for metric data is 1 hour.
metrics.week.retention.period: This property does not exist in the AppDynamics Controller. The metric data retention is based on days, not weeks. References: Database Size and Data Retention

NEW QUESTION # 43
Which two AppDynamics user permissions should an administrator configure in order to protect private data such as credit card numbers? (Choose two.)

• A. SQL Bind Variables
• B. Monitoring Level
• C. Policies
• D. Diagnostic Data Collectors
• E. Memory Monitoring
• F. Error Detection

Answer: A,D

Explanation:
Explanation
AppDynamics can collect sensitive data such as credit card numbers from various sources, such as SQL queries, error messages, HTTP headers, cookies, and so on. To protect this data from unauthorized access or exposure, an administrator should configure the user permissions for the following features:
SQL Bind Variables: This feature enables the agents to capture the values of the parameters that are passed to SQL queries. These values can contain sensitive data such as credit card numbers, passwords, or personal information. To prevent this data from being stored or displayed in the Controller UI, the administrator should disable the Capture SQL Bind Values permission for the users who do not need to see this data. Alternatively, the administrator can enable the Mask SQL Bind Values permission, which replaces the values with asterisks (*) in the UI. The administrator can also configure the agent properties to exclude or mask certain bind variables based on patterns or keywords1.
Diagnostic Data Collectors: This feature enables the agents to collect additional data from the application code, such as method arguments, return values, HTTP headers, cookies, and so on. These data can also contain sensitive information that should not be exposed to unauthorized users. To control the access to this data, the administrator should disable the View Diagnostic Data Collectors permission for the users who do not need to see this data. The administrator can also configure the agent properties to exclude or mask certain data collectors based on patterns or keywords2.
Other features that can collect sensitive data and require user permissions are Error Detection, Memory Monitoring, and Policies. However, these features are less likely to capture credit card numbers than SQL Bind Variables and Diagnostic Data Collectors. Therefore, the best answer is option C and E. References: Sensitive Data Collection and Security, SQL Bind Variables, and Diagnostic Data Collectors in the AppDynamics documentation.

NEW QUESTION # 44
Which two statements are true about instrumenting standalone Windows services with NET Agent? (Choose two.)

• A. AppDynamics.NET Agent can instrument both 32-bit as well 64-bit processes.
• B. AppDynamics .NET Agent supports instrumentation of multiple instances of the same application.
• C. AppDynamics.NET Agent automatically discovers all the Windows services to be instrumented.
• D. AppDynamics .NET Agent does NOT support instrumenting process running multiple App domains.
• E. AppDynamics.NET Agent requires that the Windows services is running under the "App.pool identity user" account.

Answer: A,B

Explanation:
Explanation
The AppDynamics .NET Agent can instrument both 32-bit and 64-bit processes, as long as they are running on a supported .NET Framework version and operating system. The agent automatically detects the process architecture and loads the appropriate profiler DLL. You can also specify the process architecture manually in the agent configuration file1. The AppDynamics .NET Agent also supports instrumentation of multiple instances of the same application, such as Windows services or standalone applications. You can configure the agent to assign different tier and node names for each instance, based on the process name, process ID, or command line arguments. This allows you to monitor the performance and health of each instance separately2.
The other statements are false because:
A: AppDynamics .NET Agent does support instrumenting processes running multiple App domains. The agent can monitor multiple App domains within a single process, as long as they are running the same
.NET Framework version. The agent can also monitor multiple applications within a single App domain, by using the Standalone Applications element in the agent configuration file3.
B: AppDynamics .NET Agent does not automatically discover all the Windows services to be instrumented. The agent automatically instruments IIS applications only. For Windows services or standalone applications, you need to manually configure the agent by editing the agent configuration file and adding the Windows Services or Standalone Applications element. You also need to provide the executable name, tier name, and node name for each service or application4.
D: AppDynamics .NET Agent does not require that the Windows services are running under the
"App.pool identity user" account. The agent can instrument Windows services running under any user account, as long as the account has sufficient permissions to load the agent profiler DLL and access the agent configuration and log files. The "App.pool identity user" account is only required for IIS applications that run in an application pool5.

• A. End-User Monitoring browser snapshots
• B. End-User Monitoring session information
• C. End-User Monitoring resource loading times
• D. Analytics metrics for End-User Monitoring data sets

Answer: D

Explanation:
Explanation
In a hybrid deployment of AppDynamics, where the AppDynamics Controller and Events Service are installed on-premises and the EUM Server is hosted in AppDynamics' SaaS cloud, the data that is unavailable is the analytics metrics for End-User Monitoring data sets. This is because the analytics metrics require the Events Service to store and process the unstructured data generated by the EUM agents. However, in a hybrid deployment, the EUM Server and the Events Service are not connected, and the EUM Server does not send the EUM data to the Events Service. Therefore, the analytics metrics for EUM data sets, such as browser records, mobile snapshots, network requests, and custom events, are not available in the Controller UI or the Analytics UI1. The other data, such as resource loading times, session information, and browser snapshots, are available in the EUM Server UI, as they are stored and displayed by the EUM Server itself2.

NEW QUESTION # 46
What is required in order for an upgrade of the Java Agent to succeed?

• A. The host machine must be restarted.
• B. The application JVM must be restarted after the agent had been updated.
• C. The AppDynamics Controller must be restarted.
• D. The Machine Agent must be upgraded first,

Answer: B

Explanation:
Explanation
To upgrade the AppDynamics Java Agent, you need to copy the existing agent directory to a backup location and replace it with the new agent directory. You also need to copy any configuration file changes made in the old directory to the new agent directory. After that, you need to restart the application JVM where the Java Agent is installed, so that the new agent can take effect. Restarting the application JVM is the only required step for the upgrade to succeed. You do not need to restart the host machine, the Machine Agent, or the AppDynamics Controller12.

NEW QUESTION # 47
What is the correct method to perform a NET Agent upgrade?

• A. Perform the agent upgrade on a remote server host by using the AppDynamics Controller REST API.
• B. Perform the agent upgrade via the AppDynamics Controller Ul.
• C. Perform the agent upgrade on the application server host by running the Agent Configuration Utility.
• D. Perform the agent upgrade on the application server host by running the MSI Installer Package.

Answer: D

Explanation:
Explanation
According to the Cisco AppDynamics Professional Implementer (CAPI) documents, the correct method to perform a NET Agent upgrade is to perform the agent upgrade on the application server host by running the MSI Installer Package12. This method will install updated agent files and maintain legacy configurations. You do not need to uninstall the old agent first when you upgrade from the NET Agent >= 3.9, except for patch releases. You need to stop IIS, instrumented Windows services, and instrumented standalone applications before running the MSI Installer Package. You also need to launch an elevated command prompt with full administrator privileges and specify youraccount access key for single-tenant Controller accounts. After the installation, you need to restart Windows services and standalone applications.
The incorrect options are:
Perform the agent upgrade on a remote server host by using the AppDynamics Controller REST API.
(B) This is not a valid method for upgrading the NET Agent, because the AppDynamics Controller REST API does not provide any endpoint for agent installation or upgrade. The REST API is mainly used for retrieving or updating configuration data, metrics, events, snapshots, and other information from the Controller3.
Perform the agent upgrade on the application server host by running the Agent Configuration Utility.
This is not a valid method for upgrading the NET Agent, because the Agent Configuration Utility is a tool for modifying the agent configuration after installation, not for installing or upgrading the agent. The Agent Configuration Utility allows you to change the Controller connection settings, the agent logging level, the proxy settings, and other advanced options4.
Perform the agent upgrade via the AppDynamics Controller UI. (D) This is not a valid method for upgrading the NET Agent, because the AppDynamics Controller UI does not provide any feature for agent installation or upgrade. The Controller UI is mainly used for monitoring, analyzing, and troubleshooting the performance of the applications, business transactions, tiers, nodes, and other entities that are instrumented by the agents5.

NEW QUESTION # 48
What are three recommended steps to prepare a Linux environment for the installation of an AppDynamics Controller with a Large performance profile? (Choose three.)

• A. Verify the open file descriptor limit.
• B. Verify the process limit.
• C. Verify the user account has root access,
• D. Verify that Java is installed.
• E. Install libaio,
• F. Install MySQL.

Answer: A,B,E

Explanation:
Explanation
To prepare a Linux environment for the installation of an AppDynamics Controller with a Large performance profile, which is suitable for monitoring up to 1000 agents, you need to perform the following steps:
Install libaio on the host machine if it does not already have it installed. This library facilitates asynchronous I/O operations on the system, which are required by the Controller. You can use the package manager of your Linux distribution to install libaio, such as yum or apt-get. For example, on CentOS, you can run yum install libaio1.
Verify the open file descriptor limit on the system. The file descriptor limit determines how many files a process can open at a time. The Controller requires a high file descriptor limit to handle the large number of connections and transactions. AppDynamics recommends setting the file descriptor limit to at least 65535 for the user account that runs the Controller. You can check the current file descriptor limit by running ulimit -n and modify it by editing the /etc/security/limits.conf file2.
Verify the process limit on the system. The process limit determines how many processes a user can run at a time. The Controller requires a high process limit to handle the large number of threads and subprocesses. AppDynamics recommends setting the process limit to at least 65535 for the user account that runs the Controller. You can check the current process limit by running ulimit -u and modify it by editing the /etc/security/limits.conf file2.
Other steps that are not required but recommended for the Controller installation are verifying the user account permissions, configuring the virus scanners, installing the netstat network utility, and setting the NUMA configuration2. You do not need to install MySQL or Java separately, as they are included in the Controller installation package3.

NEW QUESTION # 49
An administrator is asked toimprove the capacity of an Events Service cluster. What is the recommended way to add capacity to the cluster?

• A. Add more storage to the master nodes of the cluster.
• B. Add nodes running on machines with identical hardware matching the existing nodes.
• C. Add more storage to as many of the existing nodes as possible.
• D. Add a new Events Service cluster to share the load.

Answer: B

Explanation:
Explanation
According to the Cisco AppDynamics Professional Implementer (CAPI) documents, the recommended way to add capacity to the Events Service cluster is to add nodes running on machines with identical hardware matching the existing nodes12. This will increase the data storage, replication, and redundancy of the cluster, as well as the processing power for queries. The Events Service cluster is horizontally scalable, so nodes can be added as your data storage requirements grow32. The Events Service must run on dedicated machines with identical directory structures, user account profiles, and hardware profiles1. For heap space allocation, AppDynamics recommends allocating half of the available RAM to the Events Service process, with a minimum of 7 GB up to 31 GB1. Solid-state drives (SSD) can significantly outperform hard disk drives (HDD), and are therefore recommended for production deployments1.
The incorrect options are:
Add a new Events Service cluster to share the load. (A) This is not recommended because it will create additional complexity and overhead for managing multiple clusters and routing data and queries to the appropriate cluster. It will also require more license units to enable analytics on multiple clusters.
Add more storage to the master nodes of the cluster. This is not recommended because it will not increase the data replication and redundancy of the cluster, nor the processing power for queries. It will also create an imbalance in the cluster, as the master nodes will have more storage than the worker nodes, which may affect the performance and stability of the cluster.
Add more storage to as many of the existing nodes as possible. (D) This is not recommended because it will not increase the data replication and redundancy of the cluster, nor the processing power for queries. It will also create an imbalance in the cluster, as some nodes will have more storage than others, which may affect the performance and stability of the cluster.
