EUM Accounts, Licenses, and App Keys
This page covers account and licensing information for End User Monitoring (EUM).
View License Usage
To view your EUM license consumption in the Controller, go to > License.
Overages
If your license does not allow overages, AppDynamics stops reporting metrics after your license limit has been reached. If your license does allow overages and your usage exceeds the limit, AppDynamics continues reporting EUM metrics and bills you for the overages at the unit rate stipulated by your license agreement.
License Key
If you have at least one EUM license type, you have an EUM Account, which has a name and a license key associated with it. This is the unique identifier that AppDynamics uses to associate EUM data to your account. You only need to know this information for troubleshooting purposes. The same key applies to all four EUM services. However, each product has its own types and metrics for allowed usage.
EUM App Key
This is the unique identifier that AppDynamics uses to associate end user data to specific EUM applications. Each EUM application will be associated with one EUM App Key. For your applications to be monitored, they will need to include the EUM App Key when reporting data. The EUM App Keys are also associated with an EUM account name and license key.
Changing the license key does not affect existing EUM App Keys.
License Optimization and Usage Periods
For EUM license metric definitions and data retention, see License Entitlements and Restrictions.
EUM License | License Optimization | Usage Period |
---|---|---|
Real User Monitoring | See Browser and Mobile RUM rows below. | See the Browser and Mobile RUM rows below. |
Browser RUM | If the value of Pageviews is greater than Pageviews Allocated and your license allows overages, you are incurring overage charges. If you need to stop incurring overage charges, you can disable Browser RUM to stop end user monitoring and stop Pageviews from being charged (once disabled, expect a delay of approximately one minute). | The Browser RUM usage period is per year, even if you have a multi-year license. The meter resets every year based on the expiration of your license agreement. For example, if your license expires at 12:00pm PST on May 1, 2020, your usage period resets every year starting 12:00pm PST on May 1, 2021. |
Mobile RUM | License consumption is affected when you have one instrumented application installed on multiple devices, multiple applications on the same device, or uninstalls followed by reinstalls:
Through SDKs, you can customize application instrumentation to choose which agents send data. For further instructions, see the following: | The Mobile RUM usage period begins and the meter resets on the first day of each month at 12:00pm PST. When your license consumption reaches 90% of your Monthly Active Agent allocation, you will see a warning in the Mobile RUM dashboard. |
Synthetic | To help you optimize the use of your Synthetic Agent license, keep the following in mind:
| The usage period begins and the meter resets on the first day of each month at 12:00pm PST. |
IoT | License consumption is based on Application Instances. We recommend that you register each Application Instance and each device so that you can correlate data with each data source. To reduce license consumption, you can register just one device with multiple Application Instances, or one Application Instance on multiple devices. However, in doing so, AppDynamics cannot differentiate data, such as errors, for each application instance or device unless each one is registered. | The usage period begins and the meter resets on the first day of each month at 12:00pm PST. The usage period for IoT is always the current month, even if you have a multi-year license. |
