Moved to 9.5 from 9.1.1.1 and missing metrics now

[Anon Anon]

Greetings all!

Recently started moving our environment (EMs and Agents) to 9.5 and I am finding that we are no longer getting half the metrics that we were before. Previously I would see metrics for backends, frontends, etc (very common items, nothing unique or custom) but since installing the 9.5 agent into the JVMs we are now missing the majority of those. Has anyone else encountered this problem and if you have, how did you resolve it?

If attached a graphic showing what Im talking about. The top grouping is after 9.5 and the bottom grouping is 9.1.1.1

Thanks!

It appears that AutoProbe is not working did you check the AutoProbe log file to make sure that there are no errors?

Hi Aaron
Seems like the new agent shows up with %1, indicating its a duplicate instance of the agent.
Can you try this stop the application, Once the agent grays out unmount the %1 instance of the agent and restart the application.
Run some transactions from your application and see if the missing metrics comes back

Vijay,

Sorry thats an older graphic, I should have mentioned that I cleared up the duplicate instance name. I just forgot to grab a newer screen shot. Checking out Auto probe logs to see if they give up any information.

Only thing Im catching in the AutoProbe log as a possible issue, not one Ive come across before.

Unable to instrument.

Hi Aaron,
Reviewing the AP logs, seems like some tracers from pre 9.5 (9.1.1.1) is getting mixed up with the 9.5 agents

Few lines from the AP logs
>>>>
Introscope AutoProbe Log: /opt/projects/nwebtest/logs/nWeb_AutoProbe.20130821-092515.log
Release 9.1.1.1 (Build 581768)(Diagnos Version 2)

Can you quickly review your pbd set up from the /core/config , see if there is any mix up from the older agents and remove the conflicting entries. Restart the agent?

I just realized also that I hadnt updated the profiles fully when we moved to 9.5 ... I left a number of pieces pointing to 9.1.1.1 still. Thats what I get for being rushed.

Thanks Aaron, let us know if correcting the config issue clears up the problem
