Question 41

What minimum details are required to properly configure a database agent from a zip file?
Controller Host Database Agent Name. Account Access Key. Account Name
Database Host Database Port Login Credentials
Controller Host Controller Port, Account Access Key. Account Name
Database Host Login Credentials
Explanation:
https://docs.appdynamics.com/display/PRO45X/Install+the+Database+Agent
To properly configure a database agent from a zip file, you need to provide the following minimum details:
Controller Host: This is the hostname or IP address of the machine where the Controller is installed.You need to specify this so that the Database Agent can communicate with the Controller and send the collected data1
Controller Port: This is the port number that the Controller listens on for incoming connections. You need to specify this so that the Database Agent can connect to the Controller using the correct protocol.The default ports are 8090 for HTTP and 8181 for HTTPS for on-premise Controllers, and 80 for HTTP and 443 for HTTPS for SaaS Controllers1
Account Access Key: This is the key that authenticates the Database Agent with the Controller. You need to specify this so that the Database Agent can register itself with the Controller and access the license.You can find the account access key in the Controller UI under Settings > License > Account1
Account Name: This is the name of the account that the Database Agent belongs to. You need to specify this so that the Database Agent can associate itself with the correct application and user permissions.You can find the account name in the Controller UI under Settings > License > Account1
Question 42

When troubleshooting an application using AppDynamics. which order would help narrow down a code problem with a specific business transaction the fastest?
Review Application Dashboard > Check transaction scorecard > Check Transactions snapshots for problems
Review Exceptions > Look at Errors > Use Compare Releases
Review Application Dashboard > Look at Events > Check Service Endpoints
Review tier and node metrics > Check Database Calls and metrics > Review Application Dashboard
Explanation:
When troubleshooting an application using AppDynamics, the fastest way to narrow down a code problem with a specific business transaction is to follow this order:
Review Application Dashboard: This is the first step to get an overview of the health and performance of your application and its components. You can see the key metrics, such as response time, throughput, error rate, and load, for each tier, node, and business transaction. You can also see the health rule violations, events, and alerts that indicate any issues or anomalies in your application.
Check transaction scorecard: This is the second step to drill down to the details of a specific business transaction that you want to troubleshoot. You can see the transaction scorecard by clicking on the business transaction name on the application dashboard. The transaction scorecard shows the metrics, such as average response time, calls per minute, errors per minute, and slow calls, for the selected business transaction. You can also see the breakdown of the response time by tier, node, and remote service, and the distribution of the response time by percentile.
Check transaction snapshots for problems: This is the third step to identify the root cause of the code problem for the selected business transaction. You can see the transaction snapshots by clicking on the View Snapshots button on the transaction scorecard. Transaction snapshots are the detailed records of the execution of a business transaction, including the call graph, the exit calls, the errors, the exceptions, the logs, the HTTP parameters, the cookies, the session attributes, and the custom data. You can use the transaction snapshots to analyze the code execution, the database queries, the web service calls, the message queues, the errors, and the exceptions that affect the performance of the business transaction.
Therefore,A(Review Application Dashboard > Check transaction scorecard > Check Transactions snapshots for problems) is the correct answer.Reference:

Question 43

Java APM agents used in a production environment are consistently found to be disabled while no development environments exhibit this behavior Given that agents in both environments use the default configuration, what solution should be implemented to resolve this issue?
Enable agent auto-restart in the controller Ul.
Increase heap space for agent
Decrease worker thread count
Enable heap-storage-monitor-enabled setting on agent.
Explanation:
One possible reason why Java APM agents used in a production environment are consistently found to be disabled while no development environments exhibit this behavior is that the production agents are running out of heap memory and crashing. This can happen if the production agents are monitoring a high volume of business transactions, metrics, or snapshots, and the default heap size is not sufficient to handle the load. To resolve this issue, you can enable the heap-storage-monitor-enabled setting on the agent, which allows the agent to monitor its own heap usage and automatically reduce the amount of data it collects when the heap usage reaches a certain threshold. This can help to prevent the agent from running out of memory and crashing.You can also adjust the heap-storage-monitor-threshold setting to specify the percentage of heap usage that triggers the data reduction1.Alternatively, you can also increase the heap space for the agent by using the -Xmx option in the agent startup script, but this may require more resources from the host machine2.
The other options are not valid solutions to resolve this issue. Enabling agent auto-restart in the controller UI will not prevent the agent from crashing due to heap exhaustion, but only restart the agent after it crashes.This may cause data loss and performance degradation3. Decreasing the worker thread count will not affect the heap usage of the agent, but only limit the number of concurrent tasks that the agent can execute. This may reduce the agent throughput and responsiveness.

Question 44

By default, which two Sensitive Data Filters substring does the Java Agent enable? (Choose two.)
substring 'ssn'
substring 'credit card'
substring 'key'
substring 'account'
substring 'password'
Explanation:
By default, the Java Agent enables two Sensitive Data Filters substring: substring ''key'' and substring ''password''. These filters prevent the agent from capturing and sending any data that contains these substrings to the Controller, such as query parameters, HTTP headers, cookies, environment variables, or system properties. This helps to protect sensitive information from being exposed in the Controller UI or reports.You can also add more filters or modify the existing ones by editing the agent configuration file1Reference:1:Filter Sensitive Data
Question 45

Which three Operating Systems can be enabled in the Database Collector's Hardware Monitoring configuration? (Choose three.)
Question 46

Which two options can be excluded using error configuration? (Choose two.)
Question 48

Which two locations does an AppDynamics administrator use to view Remote Services metrics? (Choose two.)
