Effects of Development Mode

Enabling development level monitoring affects the capture of the following information:

Exit Calls
Splunk AppDynamics increases information collected for exit calls to backend systems. For database backends, the agent collects all SQL statements without per-transaction limits. The agent also collects all JDBC and ADO.NET calls attached to methods, even when the call duration is less than 10 ms.
Snapshots
The agent attempts to take a snapshot for every transaction, ignoring the values for these agent node properties:
Note: Development mode does not guarantee snapshots for every transaction since it was not designed to capture data on every request.
Call Graphs
The agent captures full call graphs in development mode.
Attention: Users must belong to a role with the Configure Monitoring Level (Production/Development) permission for the application to set development level monitoring. See Manage Custom Roles for Splunk AppDynamics.
