Configure the Apache Server for AppDynamics

  1. Add an include for the Apache Agent configuration to the server configuration.
    Ensure that the Cisco AppDynamicsmodule is loaded after any modules you want to be instrumented. Any modules loaded after the agent are excluded from instrumentation and monitoring. For example, add the following as the last line in the applicable configuration file:
    • httpd.conf (CentOS)
    • apache2.conf (Ubuntu and Debian)
    • httpd.conf_64 (AIX)
    #Include Cisco AppDynamics Apache Agent Configuration
Include conf/appdynamics_agent.conf
    If you are running multiple instances of the web server, modify the .conf Include path to match the configuration file name for that instance.
    For example: 
    #Include Cisco AppDynamics Apache Agent Configuration.
Include conf/appdynamics_agent1.conf
  2. Restart the web server.
    For example, for Apache on CentOS:
    apachectl restart
  3. Apply load to your web server to activate instrumentation.
The Apache Agent automatically detects the incoming HTTP calls as business transactions. It detects loaded modules as backends. Log in to the Controller to begin monitoring.
