Accessing AppDynamics for Databases

From a Browser

In a browser access the URL of the AppDynamics for Databases server:

http://<serverName>:<portNumber>

The URL of the server is comprised of its IP address  or hostname and the port number of the server separated with a colon. The port number defaults to 8090 when you install the server, so if you haven't changed it, that's what it will be.  

• For example the URL of an AppDynamics for Databases server could be, http://win-s7cnim71mii:8090 or http://192.168.0.27:9090
• You can find the IP address of the machine where you installed the AppDynamics for Databases server as follows:
  • Windows: Open a cmd window, enter "ipconfig /all".  You'll see the IP address of the server there.  
  • Linux: Open a terminal window and enter "ifconfig -a".  This command will tell you what your IP address is.  Go to http://www.wikihow.com/Check-Ip-Address-in-Linux for other ways to find your IP address.
