Nodes for Log Observer Connect

A node is a service instance of the service (tier) in your application environment. You can view the logs for a specific node of the required application. See Tiers and Nodes.

Follow the steps after selecting the required application on the AppDynamics Controller UI:

  1. Click Tiers & Nodes on the left pane.
  2. Select the time range for which you require the log details.
  3. Select the required node, then click Details.
  4. Click View Logs in Splunk.
    Note: If the View Logs in Splunk button is disabled, then there are no data during the selected time range. Change the time range and check if the button is enabled.
This opens a new tab with the Splunk Enterprise UI where you can view the logs in-context of the node and the selected time range. The selected node is added as a search query on the Splunk Enterprise UI.

For example, in Splunk Enterprise, you can view the following logs related to the node.

Warning: When you navigate to Splunk Enterprise by using the View Logs in Splunk button, you might not be able to view all the log results as per the search query. The search query may contain indexes for which you might have access restriction based on your assigned role. If you want to view such logs, contact your Splunk administrator.
