Account Properties

If the Splunk AppDynamics Controller is running in multi-tenant mode or if you are using the Splunk AppDynamics SaaS Controller, specify the account name and key for the agent to authenticate with the Controller.

If you are using the Splunk AppDynamics SaaS Controller, the account name is provided in the Welcome email sent by Splunk AppDynamics. You can also find this information in the <controller_home>/initial_account_access_info.txt file.

If the Controller is running in single-tenant mode, you only need to configure the account access key. You can find the unique access key for your Controller instance from the Observe License Usage page in the UI.
