Use the Node.js Agent with the Machine Agent

If you install the Machine Agent on the machine hosting the instrumented Node.js node and you specify the tier and node name in the controller-info.xml file of the Machine Agent, the Node.js Agent will fail to register.

To avoid this problem:

  • Install the Node.js Agent before you install the Machine Agent.
  • If you install the Machine Agent on the machine hosting the instrumented Node.js node, do not specify the application, tier, or node name in the machine agent's controller-info.xml file. If you do, the Node.js Agent may fail to register.
