Platform Components

The following table describes how the components work together in the Splunk AppDynamics On-Premises platform.

Product FeatureComponents Involved
Application Performance Management

App Server Agents attach to monitored applications and send data to the Controller via connection .

Server Visibility

Machine Agents reside on monitored servers and report data to the Controller via connection .

Application Analytics

The Analytics Dynamic Service (formerly called the Analytics plugin) on the App Server agent communicates with a local Analytics Agent instance. One or more Analytics Agents in a deployment send data to the Events Service via connection . The Analytics Agent is bundled with the Machine Agent but can be installed and run individually as well.

Database Visibility

The Database Agent connects by JDBC to monitored databases. The agent sends data to the Controller (via connection ), which uses the Events Service to store certain types of data.

End-User Monitoring

For an on-premises EUM installation, you configure a connection to the web and mobile real user monitoring agents to the on-premises EUM Server via connection . The EUM Server sends data to the Events Service cluster via connection . The optional Custom EUM Geo Server stores EUM Geo Resolution data taken via connection . The optional Synthetic Server receives synthetic job requests from the Controller, which are then fetched from the Synthetic Services via connection .
