# AppDynamics

### 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?

{% hint style="warning" %}

## Are there any environmental prerequisites for AppDynamics?

{% hint style="info" %}
There are no environmental prerequisites for this product.
{% endhint %}

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.

{% stepper %}
{% step %}
**Log in**

Log in to your **ZigiOps** instance.
{% endstep %}

{% step %}
**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:8090`
* `https://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.
{% endstep %}

{% step %}
**Review the configuration**

Review the configuration.
{% endstep %}

{% step %}
**Save**

Click **Save** to store the connected system.

Once saved, AppDynamics becomes available for use in ZigiOps integration templates.
{% endstep %}
{% endstepper %}

### 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.

### What integration templates are available for AppDynamics?

ZigiOps provides a variety of prebuilt integration templates for AppDynamics, organized by target system and data type.

#### Related Templates

* AppDynamics application metrics - OBM metrics
* AppDynamics application metrics - vROps metrics
* AppDynamics events - OBM events
* AppDynamics node metrics - OBM metrics
* AppDynamics node metrics - Splunk Enterprise events
* AppDynamics node topology - vROps topology enrichment
* AppDynamics topology - OBM topology
* AppDynamics transaction metrics - vROps metrics
* AppDynamics violations - OBM events
* AppDynamics violations - Remedy incidents

Each template includes:

* Predefined entity and field mappings
* Direction of synchronization
* Entity-specific logic and filtering rules

Templates are documented individually in the **Integration Catalog**.

### Summary

The AppDynamics integration in ZigiOps enables:

* Agentless, secure connectivity to AppDynamics environments
* Support for AppDynamics LITE and PRO editions
* Cloud and on-premises deployments
* No environmental prerequisites
* Ready-to-use templates for metrics, events, topology, and ITSM workflows
