Can I use AppDynamics to collect operating system statistics?
  • timjstewarttimjstewart
    We're considering the use of AppDynamics to gather metrics from a farm of GNU/Linux servers running Java processes. In addition to the JMX metrics AppDynamics can collect, we'd like to collect the following sort of metrics:

    * CPU Utilization
    * UDP Packet Errors
    * Sockets in CLOSE_WAIT state
    * Etc.

    We can access these metrics easily using Linux commands but we'd like the metrics to be made accessible to AppDynamics so that we can correlate data points from JMX to operating system level metrics to get a good overall picture of the state of our system. In other words, we're fine writing the metrics collection scripts as long as AppDynamics can call them and incorporate the results into AppDynamics for further analysis.

    Is this capability supported currently by AppDynamics?

    Thanks!

    In pro version of product we have machine agent which collect machine level metrics. as of now in lite version it is not supported

    Thank you Arpit. Do you know where I could get a list of the machine level metrics that the pro version collects?

    We report following hardare level metrics.

    1) Disks KB read/sec
    2) Network outgoing KB/sec
    3) Network incoming KB/sec
    4) Network outgoing packets /sec , outgoing packets /sec
    4) Memory % used
    5) Memory % free
    6) Disks writes /sec , Reads /sec
    7) Network Incoming packets / sec
    8) CPU % Used , Idle , % Busy
    9) Disks KB written / sec , KB read / sec
    10) CPU % Stolen time (For VM env)

    There are many more metrics and that we report and also we have capability of reporting custom metrics as well.
