NEW QUESTION # 22
What is used to capture application data in a single Business Transaction?
- A. MX Rules
- B. Data Collector
- C. Windows Performance Counters
- D. Information Point
Answer: B
Explanation:
Explanation
A data collector is used to capture application data in a single business transaction. A data collector is a configuration that specifies what data to capture from a business transaction and how to store it in the AppDynamics Controller or 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. The captured data can be used for various purposes, such as adding context to business transactions, creating custom metrics, triggering health rules, enriching transaction analytics, or creating business journeys.https://university.appdynamics.com/certifications/associate-administrator

NEW QUESTION # 23
Which three types of performance degradation analysis are used with Business Transaction metrics? (Choose three.)
- A. Correlation Analysis
- B. Compare Releases
- C. Remote Services Analysis
- D. Scalability Analysis
- E. JMX Analysis
Answer: A,B,C
Explanation:
Explanation
Business Transaction metrics are the key performance indicators that measure the health and performance of your applications. They include metrics such as average response time, calls per minute, errors per minute, and so on. You can use various types of performance degradation analysis to identify and troubleshoot the root causes of performance issues using Business Transaction metrics.
According to the Troubleshoot Business Transactions - AppDynamics, the following types of performance degradation analysis are used with Business Transaction metrics:
Correlation Analysis: This type of analysis helps you to find the correlation between different metrics and events that may affect the performance of your Business Transactions. For example, you can use the correlation analysis to see how the response time of a Business Transaction is related to the CPU utilization of a node, or how the error rate of a Business Transaction is related to the number of slow database calls.
Remote Services Analysis: This type of analysis helps you to understand how the performance of your Business Transactions is impacted by the calls to remote services, such as databases, web services, message queues, and so on. For example, you can use the remote services analysis to see the response time, call count, error count, and wait time of each remote service call, and drill down to the details of each call.
Compare Releases: This type of analysis helps you to compare the performance of your Business Transactions across different releases of your application. For example, you can use the compare releases analysis to see how the response time, error rate, and throughput of your Business Transactions have changed after a new deployment, and identify any performance regressions or improvements.
Therefore, A (Correlation Analysis), B (Remote Services Analysis), and E (Compare Releases) are three types of performance degradation analysis that are used with Business Transaction metrics. References:

NEW QUESTION # 25
Your organization has defined a set of health rules that accurately represent the business functions of its applications. Which two ways should you help the organization see the current status of health rules and events of the business process? (Choose two.)
- A. Create a report that runs every night and sends out the status.
- B. Create a dashboard with health and events widgets displayed.
- C. Set up a policy to send an email or text when a health rule status changes.
- D. Leave the mam applications page open for all to see
Answer: B,C
Explanation:
Explanation
Health rules are the criteria that AppDynamics uses to evaluate the performance and availability of your applications and their components. Health rules can trigger alerts and actions when the conditions are violated or cleared. Events are the occurrences that AppDynamics records when something significant happens in your monitored environment, such as a health rule violation, a policy execution, a deployment, or a custom event.
According to the Health Rules - AppDynamics, the following two ways can help you see the current status of health rules and events of the business process:
Set up a policy to send an email or text when a health rule status changes: This way, you can get notified in real time when a health rule condition is met or cleared, and take appropriate actions to resolve or prevent issues. You can configure policies to send emails, texts, or other notifications to specific recipients or groups, and include relevant information such as the health rule name, the affected entity, the severity level, and the time range.
Create a dashboard with health and events widgets displayed: This way, you can visualize the health and performance of your applications and their components in a single view, and drill down to the details of each health rule or event. You can create custom dashboards with various widgets that show the health status, the event list, the event summary, the event correlation, and the event timeline of your applications and their components.
Therefore, A (Set up a policy to send an email or text when a health rule status changes) and D (Create a dashboard with health and events widgets displayed) are two ways that can help you see the current status of health rules and events of the business process. References:

NEW QUESTION # 28
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 another dashboard and put them side by side.
- B. Open up the application and change the time range to show the time they want
- C. Create a report that shows the historical data they are looking for
- 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 # 29
By default, which two Sensitive Data Filters substring does the Java Agent enable? (Choose two.)
- A. substring "account"
- B. substring "key"
- C. substring "password"
- D. substring "ssn"
- E. substring "credit card"
Answer: B,C
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 # 30
A customer needs to understand how establishing standards for naming Applications. Tiers, and Nodes can help them determine the root of a problem when users are working with AppDynamics or receive an alert Which three statements about establishing naming conventions are true? (Choose three.)
- A. Nodes that reside on the same Tier but on different machines (hosts) can have duplicate Node names.
- B. Node names must be unique across the entire business application
- C. Application Tier and Node values can be configured in the application agent startup script
- D. Nodes that reside on different Tiers and different machines (hosts) can have duplicate Node names.
- E. Application Tier and Node values can be configured in the controller-info.xml file
Answer: B,C,E
Explanation:
Explanation
According to the Tiers and Nodes document1, establishing standards for naming applications, tiers, and nodes can help you identify and organize the components of your monitored environment, as well as troubleshoot performance issues and health rule violations. Some of the statements about establishing naming conventions are true:
Application Tier and Node values can be configured in the application agent startup script: This is true for Java agents, as you can pass values to the agent that will be used as the application, tier, and node name for the system. For example, you can use the -Dappdynamics.agent.applicationName,
-Dappdynamics.agent.tierName, and -Dappdynamics.agent.nodeName properties to specify the names in the JVM startup script2.
Node names must be unique across the entire business application: This is true, as node names are used to identify the individual instances of the application components that are monitored by AppDynamics. Having duplicate node names can cause confusion and errors in the data collection and reporting. Therefore, you should use a naming convention that ensures uniqueness and clarity for each node1.
Application Tier and Node values can be configured in the controller-info.xml file: This is true for Java agents, as you can also configure the names in the controller-info.xml file, which is located in the
<agent_home>/conf directory. The controller-info.xml file contains the properties that define the agent identity and connection to the Controller. You can use the <application-name>, <tier-name>, and
<node-name> elements to specify the names in the file2.
Some of the statements about establishing naming conventions are false:
Nodes that reside on different Tiers and different machines (hosts) can have duplicate Node name:
This is false, as node names must be unique across the entire business application, regardless of the tier or the host they belong to. Having duplicate node names can cause confusion and errors in the data collection and reporting. Therefore, you should use a naming convention that ensures uniqueness and clarity for each node1.
Nodes that reside on the same Tier but on different machines (hosts) can have duplicate Node names: This is also false, as node names must be unique across the entire business application, regardless of the tier or the host they belong to. Having duplicate node names can cause confusion and errors in the data collection and reporting. Therefore, you should use a naming convention that ensures uniqueness and clarity for each node1.

- A. Auto-naming
- B. Node-name
- C. use-encrypted-credentials
- D. Capture-raw-sql
- E. Max-business-transactions per node
Answer: B,E
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 # 33
To alert the operations team that a cloud-based application has provisioned a new instance of a JVM, which standard action should an administrator take?
- A. Create a Policy trigger for Application Change > New Tier
- B. Set up a simple extension that checks the number of nodes in a Tier and insert an event
- C. Create a Policy trigger for Discovery > New Node Discovered
- D. Create a Policy trigger for Server Restart > New Node Discovered.
Answer: C
Explanation:
Explanation
To alert the operations team that a cloud-based application has provisioned a new instance of a JVM, an administrator should create a policy trigger for Discovery > New Node Discovered. This policy trigger will fire an event when a new node is discovered by the AppDynamics Controller, either by auto-discovery or manual registration. The event will contain information such as the node name, tier name, application name, and agent type. The administrator can then configure an action to send an email, SMS, or custom notification to the operations team with the event details. Alternatively, the administrator can also use the built-in alerting feature of the cloud provider to notify the operations team of the new instance creation.

NEW QUESTION # 34
Which two types of standard controller Actions are available to be created? (Choose two.)
- A. Thread Dump
- B. Email
- C. Undeploy
- D. Close Incident
- E. Resolve
Answer: A,B
Explanation:
Explanation
According to the Actions document1, there are four types of standard controller actions that are available to be created: Notification, Diagnostic, Remediation, and JIRA. Each type of action has different subtypes that perform specific tasks. For example, the Notification type includes Email, SMS, and HTTP Request subtypes, while the Diagnostic type includes Thread Dump, Heap Dump, and Diagnostic Session subtypes. Therefore, the correct answer is D and E, as Email and Thread Dump are subtypes of standard controller actions. Resolve, Close Incident, and Undeploy are not standard controller actions, but they may be custom actions that are created by the user or the administrator. References:

NEW QUESTION # 35
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. Watch the size of the database and alert when it grows too much
- B. Schedule an analytics query to check and report on the result periodically
- C. Use a custom metric for databases and alert when it approaches a specific level
- D. Write code in a custom action that alerts when a region has reached capacity
Answer: B
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.
