Tiers for Log Observer Connect

A tier is a service in your application environment. You can view the logs for a specific tier 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 tier, then click Details.
    The Tier Flow Map view is displayed.
  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 tier and the selected time range. The selected tier 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 tier.
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.
