To install the C/C++ SDK on Linux:

  1. Download the C/C++ SDK from the AppDynamics Downloads Portal.

  2. Extract the SDK to the desired SDK home directory location, such as in /opt:

    sudo tar xvzf appdynamics-sdk-native-64bit-linux-VERSION.tar.gz -C /opt
    CODE

    Replace VERSION in the file name with the version of the downloaded SDK.

  3. Update your build scripts to be able to access the AppDynamics SDK library files:

    1. Add /opt/appdynamics-cpp-sdk/lib to your library path. For example, -L/opt/appdynamics-cpp-sdk/lib.

    2. Add -lappdynamics to your link options.
  4. Modify your program to use the AppDynamics C/C++ SDK. See C/C++ SDK Reference and Use the C/C++ SDK.
  5. Ensure that the ulimit setting for open file descriptors on the operating system is set to a sufficient number. At a minimum, you will need two file descriptors for each active thread that calls the C++ SDK appd_sdk_init() function.
