Alert and Respond

In the Action Suppression list, view the start time and the end time based on the time zone that you have configured when creating an action suppression event. When you select the Show configured timezone option, the Start Time and End Time columns in the the Action Suppression list display both the browser time and the configured time for each suppression event. See Action Suppression.
The health rule violation summary now displays the average of the violating metric values when you select the Trigger only when violation occurs x times in last y minute(s) option in health rule condition. See Examine a Health Rule Violation.
In a health rule, if you select If Any of the following conditions are met option, the health rule evaluates all the specified conditions separately and if one or more conditions evaluate to true, an alert is triggered. The Health Rule Violation Events Summary displays all the conditions that are violated.
For example, you have specified four conditions A, B, C, and D. The health rule evaluates all the four conditions and if condition A and C are violated, an alert is triggered. The Health Rule Violation Events Summary displays the violated conditions A and C that triggered the alert. See Create a Condition.
You can now use health rule APIs to create, fetch, update, and delete health rules for Java applications based on JMX metrics. See Health Rule API.
When you create an HTTP Request with OAuth 2.0, add a scope value on the template. See OAuth 2.0 Authentication.

Cisco AppDynamics On-Premises Known Issues

You cannot monitor the Controller using Java Agent <=24.10 because these Java Agent versions are not compatible with Jetty 12.

Use Java Agent >=24.11 for self monitoring the Controller >= 24.10.

Agent Management Enhancements

You can now:

use Deployment groups as a template to auto-attach and configure multiple agents for installation. The configuration for a Deployment Group is performed once per agent type and can be applied to multiple Smart Agents to install their respective language agents. See Auto-Deploy Agents with Deployment Groups.
specify custom tags on Smart Agent and view those under View Options and Filter. These tags can be used to filter the agent list based on the tag value. See Agent Management User Interface.

To enable this feature you must enable the custom tagging feature. Contact customer support to get the entity.tagging.enabled property enabled.
add or remove columns from View Options under AppServer Agents, Machine Agent, Database Agent, and Smart Agent pages. See Agent Management User Interface.
install the required agent on the required hosts by selecting the hosts from the Smart Agents page.
Select the desired Smart Agent from the list, then click Install Agents, the Smart Agents will automatically be selected for the selected agent. See Install Agents.
