Splunk AppDynamics provides the additional flexibility to create new custom discovery rules for the automatically discovered backend types.

To create a custom discovery rule for an automatically discovered backend type, select the backend type in the Automatic Backend Discovery list. Click Add (the + icon) to create a new rule. Specify the following:

• Name for the custom rule.
• Enabled to enable or disable the rule.
• Correlation Enabled to specify whether or not to send business transaction correlation data to the backend.
• Priority for this custom rule compared to other custom rules for this backend type. The higher the number, the higher the priority. A value of 0 (zero) indicates that the default rule should be used.
• Match Conditions used to identify which backends are subject to the custom naming rules. Splunk AppDynamics applies the default rules to backends that do not meet all the defined match conditions.
• Backend Naming Configuration used to name the backends matching the match conditions. The naming configuration must include the property used by the match condition.
