Install Core Services

Install AppDynamics Services in the cluster by running the profile-specific appdcli command.

  1. Log in to the cluster node console.
  2. Run the command to install services:
    Small Profile
    CODE 
    appdcli start appd small
    Medium Profile
    CODE 
    appdcli start appd medium
    Large Profile
    CODE 
    appdcli start appd large
    Extra Large Profile
    CODE 
    appdcli start appd xlarge

    This command installs the Splunk AppDynamics services. We recommend that you specify the Virtual Appliance profile as same as the profile that you selected to create a virtual machine. See Virtual Appliance Sizing.

  3. Verify the status of the installed pods and service endpoints:
    Pods
    CODE 
    kubectl get pods --all-namespaces
    Endpoints
    CODE 
    appdcli status application
