The best place for you to get this question answered would be on the AppDynamics community discussion boards. Here's a link for you... http://community.appdynamics.com/t5/Forums-Community-AppDynamics/ct-p/Discussions

The AppDynamics documentation site is also a great resource and you don't even need a login to access them... http://docs.appdynamics.com/

  • What is the difference between standalone machine agent and app agents for java .net etc? – user3086014 Jul 18 '14 at 04:01
  • machine agents help you in monitoring the server (machine) level metrics whereas the app agents help you in monitoring your application specific metrics. – Kumar Shubham Dec 11 '18 at 10:10

  1. Installation instructions for the controller can be found in: http://docs.appdynamics.com/display/PRO14S/Install+the+Controller Assuming you are using App Server Agent for Java, installation instructions for that and the machine agent can be found in the above site on the Left Nav table of contents.

  2. The controller is the management server, the app server agent monitors the JVM and the machine agent collects system metrics (such as CPU, Memory, Disk & Network).

  3. Very minimal configuration is required.
