AppDynamics
Learn how to connect AppDynamics to ZigiOps. Supported versions, prerequisites, authentication details, and connected system configuration.
What is AppDynamics integration in ZigiOps?
AppDynamics is an application performance monitoring (APM) platform that provides visibility into application health, performance metrics, topology, and events.
ZigiOps enables secure, agentless integrations between AppDynamics and ITSM, monitoring, and analytics platforms. Using ZigiOps, AppDynamics metrics, events, topology data, and violations can be synchronized with external systems to support monitoring-driven workflows and automated incident management.
With ZigiOps, AppDynamics can:
Send application and node metrics to monitoring platforms
Forward events and violations to ITSM systems
Enrich topology data in downstream tools
Participate in end-to-end observability workflows without custom scripting
Which AppDynamics versions are supported?
Using a supported version is mandatory.
AppDynamics (LITE, PRO)
Cloud, Server
4.2 (or newer) 4.5 (or newer) for EUM data
Are there any environmental prerequisites for AppDynamics?
Before configuring AppDynamics, always confirm the prerequisites of the corresponding integration template, as some templates may have system-specific requirements.
How do I connect AppDynamics to ZigiOps?
AppDynamics - Connected System Configuration
Follow the steps below to add AppDynamics as a connected system in ZigiOps.
Log in
Log in to your ZigiOps instance.
Add AppDynamics as a connected system
Navigate to Connected Systems > Add New System > AppDynamics and configure the following parameters:
Server URL Input the URL of your AppDynamics instance.
Examples:
https://example.appdynamics.com:8090https://example.saas.appdynamics.com
Username
Enter your username followed by the AppDynamics account name.
Example: user@yourAccount
Password Enter the password for the specified user.
Proxy Settings (optional) Enable this option if a proxy server is required for outbound communication.
Review the configuration
Review the configuration.
Save
Click Save to store the connected system.
Once saved, AppDynamics becomes available for use in ZigiOps integration templates.
What are the most common AppDynamics integration use cases?
Use case 1: Forwarding application metrics to monitoring platforms
ZigiOps can synchronize AppDynamics application, node, and transaction metrics with monitoring systems such as OBM or vROps. This enables unified visibility across application and infrastructure monitoring tools.
Use case 2: Sending AppDynamics events and violations to ITSM systems
When AppDynamics detects performance violations or critical events, ZigiOps can forward them to ITSM platforms as events or incidents. This allows operations teams to react quickly to application issues using established ITSM workflows.
Use case 3: Topology enrichment and observability workflows
AppDynamics topology data can be synchronized to external systems using ZigiOps, enriching monitoring and analytics platforms with application-level context and relationships.
