Install the Agent Software

  1. Download the version of the installation package that is appropriate for your OS environment from the AppDynamics Downloads Portal.
  2. Extract the zip file to the destination directory.
    Do not use spaces in the agent installation destination directory.
  3. Log on as an administrator to the machine where you will be installing the Database Agent.

For Windows:

Double-click the db-agent-x.x.x.zip <db_agent_home Properties, and choose unblock.

Note: There are two versions of the database agent: one that is 32-bit and one that is 64-bit (as of 4.5.2). Choose a version based on your OS requirements.

For Linux:

Enter the following on the command line:

unzip db-agent-x.x.x.zip -d <db_agent_home>
Note:

Running Multiple Database Agents

You can have multiple Database Agents concurrently running the agent jar in the <db_agent_home> directory on the same machine. Some system properties may be required depending on how you'll be using the agents.
