  3. Scalability Analysis
  4. JMX Analysis
  5. Compare Releases
Correct answer: ABE
Explanation:
Business Transaction metrics are the key performance indicators that measure the health and performance of your applications. They include metrics such as average response time, calls per minute, errors per minute, and so on. You can use various types of performance degradation analysis to identify and troubleshoot the root causes of performance issues using Business Transaction metrics.According to theTroubleshoot Business Transactions - AppDynamics, the following types of performance degradation analysis are used with Business Transaction metrics:Correlation Analysis: This type of analysis helps you to find the correlation between different metrics and events that may affect the performance of your Business Transactions. For example, you can use the correlation analysis to see how the response time of a Business Transaction is related to the CPU utilization of a node, or how the error rate of a Business Transaction is related to the number of slow database calls.Remote Services Analysis: This type of analysis helps you to understand how the performance of your Business Transactions is impacted by the calls to remote services, such as databases, web services, message queues, and so on. For example, you can use the remote services analysis to see the response time, call count, error count, and wait time of each remote service call, and drill down to the details of each call.Compare Releases: This type of analysis helps you to compare the performance of your Business Transactions across different releases of your application. For example, you can use the compare releases analysis to see how the response time, error rate, and throughput of your Business Transactions have changed after a new deployment, and identify any performance regressions or improvements.Therefore,A(Correlation Analysis),B(Remote Services Analysis), andE(Compare Releases) are three types of performance degradation analysis that are used with Business Transaction metrics.Reference:Troubleshoot Business Transactions - AppDynamicsBusiness Transaction - AppDynamicsCisco AppDynamics Associate Performance Analyst Certification

  1. It sends an email
  2. It remediates a problem
  3. It changes the status of a KPI
  4. Status changes are represented as an event
Correct answer: CD
Explanation:
Health Rules are the rules that define the normal or expected behavior of your application, such as the response time, error rate, or CPU utilization of a business transaction, tier, node, or backend. You can create health rules to monitor the performance and availability of your application and its components. When a health rule is violated, it changes the status of the corresponding key performance indicator (KPI) from normal to warning or critical, depending on the severity of the violation. The status change is also represented as an event in the AppDynamics Controller UI, which can trigger alerts, policies, and actions. You can view the health rule events in the Events tab of the application dashboard, or in the Health tab of the entity dashboard.https://developer.cisco.com/docs/appdynamics/health-rules/https://university.appdynamics.com/certifications/associate-administrator

Question 8

While troubleshooting a performance issue on a Java application the engineer determines there is a possible memory leak in the JVM Using AppDynamics, how would the engineer determine rf there is a memory leak?


  1. Examine the values on the Server tab on one of the affected Nodes.
  2. Configure Object Instance Tracking on the Tier in question.
  3. Verify and adjust the Memory Monitoring configuration for the Tier in question
  4. Analyze the information on the Memory tab on one of the affected Nodes
Correct answer: D
Explanation:
According to the Java Memory Leaks document1, one of the ways to detect and troubleshoot Java memory leaks is to use the Automatic Leak Detection feature on the Memory tab of the Node Dashboard. This feature captures and analyzes the collections that are actively used and growing in size over time, indicating a potential memory leak. You can also drill down into the leaking collections to see the content summary and the access traces that show the code path and the business transactions that access the collection. Therefore, the correct answer is D. Examining the values on the Server tab, configuring Object Instance Tracking, or verifying and adjusting the Memory Monitoring configuration may not directly reveal the source of the memory leak, but they may provide some useful information or metrics to support the diagnosis.Reference:Java Memory Leaks
