Infrastructure-based Licensing Model
The Infrastructure-based Licensing model offers license packages for Application Performance Monitoring (APM), End User Monitoring (EUM), Application Analytics, and security. Each package includes a combination of Splunk AppDynamics Agents and is based on a single metering unit: CPU Core. Because each agent can pull from a single metering unit, Infrastructure-based Licensing can support diverse applications and provide better license usage estimates.
This table shows how licenses in the Infrastructure-based Licensing model bundle multiple Splunk AppDynamics products.
