The Scalyr integration module gives you a single entry point for viewing and analyzing data gathered by AppDynamics and Scalyr. With the Scalyr integration module enabled, a user in the Controller can launch Scalyr searches directly from the AppDynamics Console.

The Scalyr search includes context from the AppDynamics UI session, including the time range and IP or hostname of the node being investigated in the AppDynamics UI, as described here.

Enable the Scalyr Integration Module

To enable and configure the Scalyr integration: 

  1. Log in to the Controller UI as an administrator. 
  2. Click Settings > Administration.
  3. In the Administration window, click the Integration tab and then Scalyr from the Integrations list.

  4. Check the Enabled check box to enable the integration. 

  5. For the URL, enter the full URL for Scalyr, https://www.scalyr.com.

  6. Click Save. 

Search Scalyr Data from AppDynamics

To be able to launch a Scalyr search, Controller UI users need to have an active browser session in the Scalyr UI. Thus, users will need:

  • Scalyr credentials. 
  • A browser with pop-ups permitted.

Controller users can search Scalyr logs while viewing nodes, transaction snapshots, or segments of a transaction snapshot. The time frame passed to Scalyr varies for each context. Those time frames, along with the details for accessing the search option, are as follows: 

  • For a node, choose Search Scalyr from the Actions menu of the node dashboard. This passes a search for that node with the timeframe currently selected in the Controller UI.
  • To search Scalyr from the context of a transaction snapshot, select the transaction snapshot from the list and choose Search Scalyr from the right-click or Actions menu. The same option is available from the snapshot view:

    This generates a search on the nodes where the transaction occurred within the general time frame of the transaction execution. Specifically, the time frame is from 30 minutes before the transaction start time to 30 minutes after.   
  • To narrow the context further, you can search Scalyr from the context of a call drill down. This generates a search on the machine on which the snapshot was generated for the time frame of that segment. The Search Scalyr option is available from the Action menu of the call drill-down view, as shown here:
