Use Custom Access Key

You can create custom access key and use for a specific license rule that you create in Controller for the instrumenting applications. Perform the following to use Custom Access Key based on the rules you have defined for a tenant:

  1. Create required License Rule.
    This generates a key.
  2. Run the following command to create the custom secret using the key generated in step 1:
    kubectl -n appdynamics create secret generic <secret-name> --from-literal=<custom-Controller-key-name>=<key-value>
  3. Add the following configuration under Instrumentation Rules:
    customSecretName: <generated-secret-name>
customSecretKey: <generated-key>
Note: Ensure that you provide the correct secret name and key values in the cluster-agent.yaml file for auto-instrumentation. If the values are incorrect, you cannot monitor the applications.If you have auto-instrumented the applications and require to update the secret later, you require to set the enableForceReInstrumentation parameter to true during the re-instrumentation process.This restarts Cluster Agent.
