License Entitlement Definitions
Active Agent: A unique installation of an application instrumented with an AppDynamics Mobile Real User Monitoring Agent that was launched on a device in a given calendar month
Database Instance: A complete running database environment, including the software, table structure and other functionality. Typically this corresponds to a host/port combination where the port is the listener port for the database software. Database administrators might create multiple database environments on the same physical hardware, with each such environment having its own unique listener port.
EUM Cloud: The end user monitoring component that receives and processes data received from end user devices
Event Data: The raw data generated by the Software and stored in the Events Service
Events Service: The component that stores the Event Data
GB: gigabyte
Instrument: To collect data, monitor, troubleshoot and manage using the AppDynamics software
Metric Data: The aggregate value of the data collected by the Software over a given period of time
Pageview: A Pageview is an instance of a base page, virtual page, or iFrame loaded by a web browser. Each base page view, iframe view, and virtual page view is counted as a Pageview. Repeated views of one page are counted as separate Pageviews.
RUM Token: The common unit of measure for consumption of Real User Monitoring products during each 12 calendar month period in a License Term, with the first such period beginning on the start date of the relevant License Term; one Pageview consumes one RUM Token, and deployment of one Active Agent consumes 160 RUM Tokens.
CPU Core: Each logical thread core or processor reported by the operating system on a unique instance of a physical or virtual host machine and detected by AppDynamics. Where AppDynamics cannot detect CPU Core counts on a host, AppDynamics will calculate the licensed CPU Cores on a per-Agent basis as follows:
The quantity of APM Agents deployed multiplied by 4; and
The quantity of Database Agents deployed multiplied by 12 per unique database host
