Phase 1: Run with AppDynamics

2. Download the AppD Agent

1 min

You need the AppDynamics Java Agent (version 25.6.0 or higher) to use dual signal mode. We’ll add it to your instance.

Unzip the Agent

SSH into your instance, run the download script, and the agent will be extracted to the agent directory we created:

bash 
cd ~/workshop/appd
mkdir -p agent
chmod +x ./download-appd-agent.sh
./download-appd-agent.sh

You should now have the agent JAR at ~/workshop/appd/agent/javaagent.jar.

Note Your Account Access Key

You’ll need the Account Access Key when running the app. You can find it in the AppDynamics Controller:

  1. Click on your name in the top right corner of the screen
  2. Go to Admin → License
  3. Click the left side bar for Account*
  4. Under Account, note the Name (se-lab) and Access Key

Keep it handy

You’ll use the Account Name and Access Key in the next step as JVM properties. They authenticate the agent to the controller.
