Discover Existing Components

Note: This page applies to on-premise deployments.

You can use the Enterprise Console to discover and upgrade existing \ Splunk AppDynamics On-Premises components, such as a Controller or Events Service. After you discover the components, they can be added to the platform and be managed by the application. This process can be performed with the GUI or command line. You can discover Controllers that are version 4.1 or later.

Before you discover existing components, you need the following information:

Controller

  • Controller root user password
  • Installation directory
  • Database password
  • Host name or IP address

Events Service

  • Host names or IP addresses
  • Installation directory. Note that if you have an Events Service cluster, this directory is the same on every node.
  • Host credentials (SSH key file and username)
