Enable Database Agent Telemetry

You can enable the agent telemetry property at the account level on the Controller or at the agent level. If you configure the property on the Controller, all metrics display for each Database Agent. Whereas, if you configure the property in the agent configuration, the metrics display only for the configured agent. For account level on Controller, use the Administration Console to add the dbagent.telemetry.enabled feature flag and set the value to true.

dbagent.telemetry.enabled feature flag

Similarly, for only specific Database Agents, start the Database Agent with the -Ddbagent.telemetry.enabled=true system properties.

Note: Each agent is associated with a unique host identifier and name. If two or more agents have the same name and unique identifier, the agents report metrics in the same node. Therefore, start a Database Agent with a different name and unique host identifier. The unique host identifier is by default the host-name of the Database Agent host machine. You can override the unique host identifier by using the system property -Dappdynamics.agent.uniqueHostId=<Some_unique_identifier_name>. See Unique Host ID at Database Agent Configuration Properties .
