NEW QUESTION # 31
Capacity planning for a regionally partitioned application requires that the administrator monitors the number of users and orgs mapped to a database. How does the administrator meet this requirement?

• A. Schedule an analytics query to check and report on the result periodically
• B. Use a custom metric for databases and alert when it approaches a specific level
• C. Watch the size of the database and alert when it grows too much
• D. Write code in a custom action that alerts when a region has reached capacity

Answer: A

Explanation:
Explanation
Capacity planning is the process of estimating and allocating the resources needed to meet the current and future demands of an application. For a regionally partitioned application, where different users and organizations are assigned to different databases based on their location, capacity planning requires that the administrator monitors the number of users and orgs mapped to each database and ensures that they do not exceed the available resources.
According to the AppDynamics Analytics - AppDynamics, one way to meet this requirement is to schedule an analytics query to check and report on the result periodically. An analytics query is a SQL-like query that allows you to analyze and visualize the data collected by AppDynamics, such as business transactions, logs, metrics, events, and custom data. You can use analytics queries to create dashboards, widgets, reports, and alerts that provide insights into the performance and behavior of your applications and their components.
To schedule an analytics query to check and report on the number of users and orgs mapped to a database, the administrator can follow these steps:
Go to Analytics > Search.
Select the data source that contains the user and org information, such as Business Transactions, Logs, or Custom Data.
Enter the query that counts the number of users and orgs for each database, such as SELECT database, COUNT(DISTINCT user), COUNT(DISTINCT org) FROM data_source GROUP BY database.
Click the Save button and enter a name and description for the query.
Click the Schedule button and select the frequency, time range, and recipients for the query execution and report delivery.
Click Save.
Therefore, A (Schedule an analytics query to check and report on the result periodically) is the correct answer.

NEW QUESTION # 32
Which two conditions would be a reason to update an existing Data Collector? (Choose two.)

• A. The Business Transaction has been deprecated.
• B. A new HTTP parameter has been added to an existing Business Transaction
• C. A new class and method have been deployed to the application.
• D. A new method parameter has been added to an instrumented class

Answer: C,D

Explanation:
Explanation
According to the Data Collectors document1, a data collector is a configuration that captures application data from a method invocation or an HTTP request. A data collector is associated with a specific method signature or an HTTP parameter name. Therefore, if a new class and method have been deployed to the application, or a new method parameter has been added to an instrumented class, the existing data collector may not match the new code and may need to be updated. However, if the business transaction has been deprecated, or a new HTTP parameter has been added to an existing business transaction, the existing data collector may still work as expected, unless the data collector is specifically configured to filter by the business transaction name or the HTTP parameter value.

Data Collectors

NEW QUESTION # 33
By default, which two Sensitive Data Filters substring does the Java Agent enable? (Choose two.)

• A. substring "account"
• B. substring "ssn"
• C. substring "credit card"
• D. substring "key"
• E. substring "password"

Answer: D,E

Explanation:
Explanation
By default, the Java Agent enables two Sensitive Data Filters substring: substring "key" and substring
"password". These filters prevent the agent from capturing and sending any data that contains these substrings to the Controller, such as query parameters, HTTP headers, cookies, environment variables, or system properties. This helps to protect sensitive information from being exposed in the Controller UI or reports. You can also add more filters or modify the existing ones by editing the agent configuration file1 References: 1: Filter Sensitive Data

NEW QUESTION # 35
The App Server agent configuration GUI sets the configuration for which two agent properties? (Choose two.)

• A. Auto-naming
• B. Node-name
• C. Max-business-transactions per node
• D. use-encrypted-credentials
• E. Capture-raw-sql

Answer: B,C

Explanation:
Explanation
The App Server agent configuration GUI allows you to set the configuration for the following agent properties:
Node-name: This property defines the name of the node that appears in the Controller UI. You can use the GUI to change the node name or use auto-naming rules based on environment variables or system properties1 Max-business-transactions per node: This property sets the maximum number of business transactions that can be registered on a node. If the number of business transactions exceeds this limit, the agent stops registering new business transactions and reports them as "All Other Traffic". You can use the GUI to increase or decrease this limit2 References: 1: Node Naming 2: Configure Business Transaction Limits

NEW QUESTION # 36
An HTTP Data Collector can capture which three kinds of data? (Choose three.)

• A. Parameter Values
• B. Variables
• C. Method Invocation
• D. Cookies
• E. Headers

Answer: A,D,E

Explanation:
Explanation
An HTTP Data Collector is a type of data collector that captures data from HTTP requests and responses. It can capture three kinds of data: parameter values, headers, and cookies. Parameter values are the values of the query string or form parameters in the HTTP request. Headers are the key-value pairs that are sent or received as part of the HTTP request or response. Cookies are the small pieces of data that are stored by the browser and sent to the server with each request. An HTTP Data Collector can be configured to capture any of these data types by specifying the name of the parameter, header, or cookie in the data collector settings. The captured data can be used for various purposes, such as adding context to business transactions, creating custom metrics, or triggering health rules.

NEW QUESTION # 41
The applications and servers are running normally What are two important reasons for the engineer to view and analyze server performancedata at this time? (Choose two.)

• A. Graphs and charts collected at this time are useful for showing application owners the stability of their application
• B. Visualizing application performance during normal operations helps identify when the application performance is abnormal.
• C. Collecting the errors during this period will identify memory problems in the application.
• D. Collecting Server metric performance during normal operations helps determine code problems

Answer: A,B

Explanation:
Explanation
Server performance data is the information that AppDynamics collects and reports about the health and availability of the servers that host your applications and their components. Server performance data includes metrics such as CPU utilization, memory usage, disk I/O, network traffic, and so on. You can use server performance data to monitor and troubleshoot the performance issues of your servers and applications.
According to the Server Visibility - AppDynamics, the following two reasons are important for the engineer to view and analyze server performance data at this time:
Visualizing application performance during normal operations helps identify when the application performance is abnormal: This means that by comparing the current server performance data with the historical or baseline data, you can detect any anomalies or deviations that may indicate a potential problem or degradation of your application performance. For example, you can use the Server Dashboard to see the current and historical trends of the server metrics, and use the Anomaly Detection feature to identify any outliers or unusual patterns.
Graphs and charts collected at this time are useful for showing application owners the stability of their application: This means that by using the graphical and visual representations of the server performance data, you can communicate and demonstrate the reliability and efficiency of your application to the stakeholders and customers. For example, you can use the Server Health Report to generate a summary of the server health status, availability, and performance over a specified time period, and share it with the application owners.
Therefore, A (Visualizing application performance during normal operations helps identify when the application performance is abnormal) and B (Graphs and charts collected at this time are useful for showing application owners the stability of their application) are two important reasons for the engineer to view and analyze server performance data at this time.

NEW QUESTION # 42
What are three advantages of the custom dashboard feature? (Choose three.)

• A. It finds the line of code having a performance issue
• B. It schedules dashboard as a report
• C. It makes drill down across tiers seamless
• D. It turns data sharing on/off on the fly.
• E. It monitors metrics of interest.

Answer: B,C,E

Explanation:
Explanation
The custom dashboard feature in AppDynamics allows you to display a specific set of metrics and data points on one screen. You can use custom dashboards to present selected metrics for a user who only needs a relatively narrow or focused view of the data. You can also share custom dashboards with other users and stakeholders.
According to the [Custom Dashboards - AppDynamics], some of the advantages of the custom dashboard feature are:
It makes drill down across tiers seamless: You can use the grid layout type to create a flexible layout that is easy to rearrange on the canvas. The grid layout also scales in size when viewed on mobile devices. You can also use the absolute layout type to control width and height and the exact placement of widgets on the canvas.
It monitors metrics of interest: You can add widgets from various categories, such as application, server, database, performance, events, and so on. You can also customize the widget properties panel to configure the widget settings, such as title, description, color scheme, time range, auto-refresh interval, and so on.
It schedules dashboard as a report: You can export your custom dashboard as a PDF or HTML report that you can send by email or save as a file. You can also schedule your custom dashboard to run periodically using cron expressions.
Therefore, A (It makes drill down across tiers seamless), C (It monitors metrics of interest), and E (It schedules dashboard as a report) are three advantages of the custom dashboard feature. References:

NEW QUESTION # 43
What is the main benefit of defining Database Collectors?

• A. You can view session data.
• B. You can see which applications are calling a database
• C. You can clean up stale database connections
• D. You can view the calls per minute from each instrumented application

Answer: B

Explanation:
Explanation
The main benefit of defining Database Collectors is that you can see which applications are calling a database and how they impact the database performance. Database Collectors enable the Database Agent to collect data from your database instances and database servers, such as metrics, queries, sessions, wait states, and more1 You can also link a database on the application flow maps to a database instance monitored by Database Visibility, which allows you to see the correlation between the application and the database2 References: 1: Add Database Collectors 2: [Link a Database on the Application Flow Map to a Database Instance Monitored by Database Visibility]

NEW QUESTION # 44
After agents are installed, and application data is flowing through a Java application, a user sees that a remote database has not been discoveredin a known Business Transaction.To determine and configure the exit call to the database where would you go?

• A. Configuration > Java > Backend Detection > JDBC
• B. Database Calls > Options > Backend Detection > JDBC
• C. Databases > Configuration > Collectors
• D. Configuration > Instrumentation > Backend Detection > Java

Answer: D

Explanation:
Explanation
To determine and configure the exit call to the database, you need to go to Configuration > Instrumentation > Backend Detection > Java. An exit call is a call from an application component to an external service or system, such as a database, a web service, a message queue, or a cache. A backend is a logical representation of an external service or system that receives exit calls from an application component. AppDynamics automatically detects and identifies common types of backends, such as JDBC, HTTP, JMS, and so on.
According to the Exit Point Detection Rules - AppDynamics, the following steps are required to determine and configure the exit call to the database:
Go to Configuration > Instrumentation > Backend Detection > Java.
Select the application and the tier that contains the exit call to the database.
Click the Add button to create a new exit point detection rule.
Enter a name and description for the rule.
Select the type of exit call from the drop-down list, such as JDBC, HTTP, JMS, and so on.
Specify the class and method that make the exit call to the database.
Specify the match criteria for the exit call, such as the URL, the query, the host, the port, and so on.
Click Save.
Therefore, C (Configuration > Instrumentation > Backend Detection > Java) is the correct answer.

NEW QUESTION # 45
The application agent starts but cannot connect to the controller. Which two things should you check to solve this problem? (Choose two.)

• A. Check if the controller is using SSL or not.
• B. Check if the agent is using the correct application name.
• C. Check that there are licenses available on the controller
• D. Check if the agent has enough memory to run.

Answer: A,C

Explanation:
Explanation
According to the Cisco AppDynamics Associate Administrator Certification document1, one of the topics covered in the exam is "Monitor agent performance and connectivity". To do this, you need to ensure that the application agent can communicate with the controller, which may require SSL configuration if the controller is using SSL2. You also need to check that there are enough licenses available on the controller for the application agent to register and report data3. If the agent is using the wrong application name or does not have enough memory, it may not start at all or may crash, which are different problems from not being able to connect to the controller.

NEW QUESTION # 46
A customer wants a dashboard that will show them the number of current database connections on their application in a Timeseries graph, and compare it to past averages for the same time What option would solve this the fastest for the customer?

• A. Create a report that shows the historical data they are looking for
• B. Create another dashboard and put them side by side.
• C. Open up the application and change the time range to show the time they want
• D. Include baseline data within widgets on the dashboard

Answer: D

Explanation:
Explanation
The option that would solve this the fastest for the customer is to include baseline data within widgets on the dashboard. Baseline data is the data that represents the normal or expected behaviorof a metric, based on the historical data collected by the AppDynamics Cognition Engine. By including baseline data within widgets on the dashboard, the customer can easily compare the current value of the metric with the past average value for the same time. For example, if the customer wants to see the number of current database connections on their application in a Timeseries graph, and compare it to the past averages for the same time, they can create a Timeseries graph widget that shows the metric "Database Connections" and enable the option "Show Baseline Data" in the widget settings. This will display the current and the baseline values of the metric in the same graph, and allow the customer to see the trends and deviations over time1.

NEW QUESTION # 47
The Default Flow map shows a tier with a full or partial red circle, which indicates one or more nodes have reported Health Rule violations. Which procedure should the engineer take?

• A. Click on the Events tab for the application on the Default Row Map then analyze the health rule(s) being violated.
• B. Use the metric browser to identify the Health Rule being violated, then notify the application owners of the issue
• C. This is a recurring issue: do nothing as the Health Rule violation will clear without intervention
• D. Disable the Health Rule to prevent further reporting of the issue, then notify the data center team to reboot the server

Answer: A

Explanation:
Explanation
According to the Troubleshoot Health Rule Violations document1, one of the ways to troubleshoot health rule violations is to click on the Events tab for the application on the Default Flow Map and then analyze the health rule(s) being violated. This will show you the details of the health rule violation events, such as the affected entity, the severity, the duration, the evaluation time, and the triggered actions. You can also drill down into the health rule violation details to see the health rule configuration, the metric values, and the snapshots. This will help you identify the root cause of the issue and take appropriate remediation actions. Therefore, the correct answer is D. Using the metric browser, disabling the health rule, or rebooting the server may not be the best or the most efficient ways to troubleshoot health rule violations, as they may not reveal the source of the problem, may affect other entities, or may not resolve the issue permanently. References:

NEW QUESTION # 48
To capture business data for Transaction Analytics what must be configured first?

• A. a Custom Metric
• B. an Information Point
• C. a Health Rule
• D. a Data Collector

Answer: D

Explanation:
Explanation
To capture business data for Transaction Analytics, you must first configure a data collector. A data collector is a configuration that specifies what data to capture from a business transaction and how to store it in the analytics platform. You can capture data from HTTP requests, method invocations, custom fields, or information points. You can also apply filters and transformations to the captured data. Once you have configured a data collector, you can use it to enrich the transaction analytics data with business context and enable advanced queries and visualizations

NEW QUESTION # 49
When troubleshooting an application using AppDynamics. which order would help narrow down a code problem with a specific business transaction the fastest?

• A. Review Exceptions > Look at Errors > Use Compare Releases
• B. Review tier and node metrics > Check Database Calls and metrics > Review Application Dashboard
• C. Review Application Dashboard > Lookat Events > Check Service Endpoints
• D. Review Application Dashboard > Check transaction scorecard > Check Transactions snapshots for problems

Answer: D

Explanation:
Explanation
When troubleshooting an application using AppDynamics, the fastest way to narrow down a code problem with a specific business transaction is to follow this order:
Review Application Dashboard: This is the first step to get an overview of the health and performance of your application and its components. You can see the key metrics, such as response time, throughput, error rate, and load, for each tier, node, and business transaction. You can also see the health rule violations, events, and alerts that indicate any issues or anomalies in your application.
Check transaction scorecard: This is the second step to drill down to the details of a specific business transaction that you want to troubleshoot. You can see the transaction scorecard by clicking on the business transaction name on the application dashboard. The transaction scorecard shows the metrics, such as average response time, calls per minute, errors per minute, and slow calls, for the selected business transaction. You can also see the breakdown of the response time by tier, node, and remote service, and the distribution of the response time by percentile.
Check transaction snapshots for problems: This is the third step to identify the root cause of the code problem for the selected business transaction. You can see the transaction snapshots by clicking on the View Snapshots button on the transaction scorecard. Transaction snapshots are the detailed records of the execution of a business transaction, including the call graph, the exit calls, the errors, the exceptions, the logs, the HTTP parameters, the cookies, the session attributes, and the custom data. You can use the transaction snapshots to analyze the code execution, the database queries, the web service calls, the message queues, the errors, and the exceptions that affect the performance of the business transaction.
Therefore, A (Review Application Dashboard > Check transaction scorecard > Check Transactions snapshots for problems) is the correct answer. References:
