Question No. 1

Instead of using the Enterprise Console Ul, how can an administrator import an existing keypair to manage the Controller SSL certificate?

Show Answer Hide Answer
Correct Answer: A

According to the Cisco AppDynamics Professional Implementer (CAPI) documents, the method to import an existing keypair to manage the Controller SSL certificate without using the Enterprise Console UI is to add the keypair to the keystore.jks using a third-party tool (A). The keystore.jks file is the default keystore for the Controller that contains the private keys and certificates for the secure communication on port 8181. If the administrator already has a custom keypair that is signed by a third-party Certificate Authority (CA) or an internal CA, they can use a third-party tool, such as KeyStore Explorer or OpenSSL, to import the keypair into the keystore.jks file. The administrator should also import the root or intermediate certificates of the CA into the cacerts.jks file, which is the default truststore for the Controller. The administrator should use the keytool utility, which is bundled with the Controller installation, to import the certificates into the cacerts.jks file.The administrator should also update the password for the keystore.jks and cacerts.jks files, and restart the Controller to apply the changes12.

The incorrect options are:

Re-run the Controller installer and specify the new keypair. (B) This is not a valid method because the Controller installer does not allow the administrator to specify a custom keypair for the Controller SSL certificate. The Controller installer only allows the administrator to specify the Controller host name, port, account name, access key, and database settings.The Controller installer does not modify the keystore.jks or cacerts.jks files, and does not import any custom keypair or certificate into the Controller keystore or truststore3.

Upload a new keystore.jks file through the Controller UI. This is not a valid method because the Controller UI does not provide any feature to upload a new keystore.jks file for the Controller SSL certificate. The Controller UI only allows the administrator to view and edit the Controller settings, such as the license, the security, the email, the analytics, and the EUM.The Controller UI does not access or modify the keystore.jks or cacerts.jks files, and does not import any custom keypair or certificate into the Controller keystore or truststore4.

Upload the keypair from within the Controller UI. (D) This is not a valid method because the Controller UI does not provide any feature to upload a custom keypair for the Controller SSL certificate. The Controller UI only allows the administrator to view and edit the Controller settings, such as the license, the security, the email, the analytics, and the EUM.The Controller UI does not access or modify the keystore.jks or cacerts.jks files, and does not import any custom keypair or certificate into the Controller keystore or truststore4.

Question No. 2

Which URL retrieves all AppDynamics business transactions from an application using the AppDynamics Rest API?

Show Answer Hide Answer
Correct Answer: B

The AppDynamics Rest API to retrieve business transactions allows you to get a list of all business transactions in a business application, along with their key metrics and properties1.The correct URL format for this API is1:

http(s) ://<controller-host>:/controller/rest/applications//business-transactions

The other options are incorrect because12:

Option A uses an invalid endpoint /allbts, which does not exist in the API.

Option C uses an incorrect base URL /controller/applications, which is used for the Controller UI, not the Rest API.

Option D uses a misspelled endpoint /allbis, which does not exist in the API.Reference:Retrieve All Business Transactions in a Business Application,AppDynamics APIs


Question No. 3

Which directory should an administrator back up if the goal is to back up the EUM Server?

Show Answer Hide Answer
Correct Answer: A

The <eum_server_home> directory contains the EUM Server installation files, configuration files, and data files. It is recommended to back up this directory as a precaution before upgrading or migrating the EUM Server. The default location of this directory is <installDir>/AppDynamics/EUM, where <installDir> is the directory where you installed the Controller.You can also use the backup-eum.sh script to back up the EUM Server data12.Reference:Upgrade the Production EUM Server,Configure the EUM Server


Question No. 4

What are three recommended steps to prepare a Linux environment for the installation of an AppDynamics Controller with a Large performance profile? (Choose three.)

Show Answer Hide Answer
Correct Answer: A, D, F

To prepare a Linux environment for the installation of an AppDynamics Controller with a Large performance profile, which is suitable for monitoring up to 1000 agents, you need to perform the following steps:

Install libaio on the host machine if it does not already have it installed. This library facilitates asynchronous I/O operations on the system, which are required by the Controller. You can use the package manager of your Linux distribution to install libaio, such as yum or apt-get.For example, on CentOS, you can runyum install libaio1.

Verify the open file descriptor limit on the system. The file descriptor limit determines how many files a process can open at a time. The Controller requires a high file descriptor limit to handle the large number of connections and transactions. AppDynamics recommends setting the file descriptor limit to at least 65535 for the user account that runs the Controller.You can check the current file descriptor limit by runningulimit -nand modify it by editing the/etc/security/limits.conffile2.

Verify the process limit on the system. The process limit determines how many processes a user can run at a time. The Controller requires a high process limit to handle the large number of threads and subprocesses. AppDynamics recommends setting the process limit to at least 65535 for the user account that runs the Controller.You can check the current process limit by runningulimit -uand modify it by editing the/etc/security/limits.conffile2.

Other steps that are not required but recommended for the Controller installation are verifying the user account permissions, configuring the virus scanners, installing the netstat network utility, and setting the NUMA configuration2.You do not need to install MySQL or Java separately, as they are included in the Controller installation package3.Reference:Prepare Linux for the Controller,Install the Controller on Linux, andController System Requirementsin the AppDynamics documentation.


Question No. 5

Which artifacts are needed, at minimum, to add a custom extension to a Machine Agent?

Show Answer Hide Answer
Correct Answer: A

To add a custom extension to a Machine Agent, you need at least three artifacts: a directory, a jar or script file, and a monitor.xml file12. The directory is where you place your extension files under the <machine_agent_home>/monitors directory. The jar or script file is the executable file that collects and reports the custom metrics to the Machine Agent. The monitor.xml file is the configuration file that defines the name, frequency, and parameters of your extension.You can also optionally include other files such as libraries, configuration files, or templates for your extension12.Reference:Build a Monitoring Extension Using Scripts,Extensions and Custom Metrics
