- Check if you have restarted /started the Application Server where you have deployed the agent.
- Specify Proxy server configuration when there is a proxy server between APM Insight agent and Site24x7 server.
- To check if there is a proxy, open a browser in the APM Insight Agent machine and try connect to https://site24x7.com. It should display the login page of Site24x7.
- Check whether any proxy server is configured in the browser and specify those values in apminsight.conf
After APM Insight monitors gets added, why is the Availability and Health status still in Not updated state?
APM Insight Availability and Health attributes will only be updated after one minute of your monitor addition.
Will Availability and Health attributes will be updated for every one minute interval ?
No, by default it will be updated after five minutes. Only for the very first time (after monitor addition), it will be updated after one minute.
Availability of APM Insight Monitor shows Up, But I still can't see any data. why?
One Possible reason is that, no web transactions might have taken place in your Application Server.
No data is shown in Site24x7 APMInsight home page, though web transaction is taking place in the Application server(where the agent is deployed). why?
After every one minute, agent will push the metric data to the Site24x7 . So you can see the data after one minute(network traffic delay excluded)
If you don't see the data even after one minute, it will be due to network problem where you should pay attention.
Availability of APM Insight Monitor shows down. What does it mean?
It means, either your application server is down or the communication between the agent & application server is not good.
What is the maximum history of metric data that i can view?
One day.
Can I view the trace of a web transaction that consumes more response time?
Yes, all slow web transactions traces will be available under the APM Insight Traces tab.
Why don't I see any traces of a web transaction which I thought to be very slow.
You might have disabled trace collection in your Agent. Enable trace collection by setting true for the key transaction.trace.enabled in "Customize Agent Configuration" link in 'Overview' tab.
Also, a web transaction is decided to be a slowest transaction based on your threshold value set for the key transaction.trace.threshold (specified in seconds) in "Customize Agent Configuration" link in 'Overview' tab.
Why I don't see any metrics under database tab. why?
You might have disabled SQL Query listening in your Agent. Enable it by setting true for the key sql.capture.enabled in "Customize Agent Configuration" link in 'Overview' tab.
Can I group more than one instance under an Application Name. If yes, how?
Yes. You can group more than one instances under a Application Name. To do this, while deploying the agent in application sever, specify the same application name for key application.name
Can I rename the Application Name, thus created in Site24x7?
No. Application Name cannot be renamed.
Can I Compare metrics across all/selective instances?
No.
Can I move an Instance under one Application to another Application?
No.
Will I be able to view all the APM Insight graphs, charts if my browser doesn't have flash installed?
Yes. You can view all the graphs even if your browser doesn't have flash installed. In such a case, graph will be rendered as java scripts.
Where I can see the list of all web transactions sorted by its average response time?
You can see under APM Insight Web Transaction tab with sorting value 'slowest average response time''.
How can I temporarily stop the APM Insight metric collection?
Metric Collection can be stopped by UnManaging the APM Insight Monitor.
