Question 35 - 500-425 discussion

Metrics are the numerical values that AppDynamics collects and reports to measure the performance and availability of your applications and their components. You can use metrics to create custom dashboards that display the data that is relevant to your needs and interests.

According to theMetrics - AppDynamics, the following two places are where you would find metrics to be added to a custom dashboard:

The JMX tab on the Node: This tab shows the Java Management Extensions (JMX) metrics that are exposed by the Java Virtual Machine (JVM) or the application server. JMX metrics provide information about the JVM memory, threads, garbage collection, and other aspects of the Java environment. You can add JMX metrics to a custom dashboard by selecting them from the metric browser tree and dragging them to the dashboard canvas.

The Metric Browser: This is a tool that allows you to browse, search, and view all the metrics that are available in AppDynamics. The metric browser shows the metrics in a hierarchical tree structure that reflects the logical organization of your applications and their components. You can add metrics to a custom dashboard by selecting them from the metric browser tree and dragging them to the dashboard canvas.

Therefore,C(the JMX tab on the Node) andD(the Metric Browser) are two places where you would find metrics to be added to a custom dashboard.Reference:
