The Java Agent automatically discovers common types of remote services as backend systems based on the exit point associated with the backend. If Splunk AppDynamics does not automatically discover a backend system used in your environment, check whether it's an automatically discovered type (based on the list below) and compare the default exit points for the type to that used in your application environment.

Each automatically discovered backend type has a default discovery rule. Many backend types have a set of backend naming properties. Where individual properties are configurable, you can configure the property as follows:

• Use the property as is.
• Use segments of the property.
• Run a regular expression on the property. See Using Regular Expressions.
• Execute methods on the property. See Using Getter Chains.
