DX Application Performance Management

That was my concern also,which is also the reason why the JS calc was created to address this.

The use case is that as agents are load balanced, the ConnectionStatus metric, could in fact, trigger a false-positive on the status of an agent.

With the calculator, it mitigates that as it looks across the cluster to find the agent and reports back a single status value that you can alert on.

For multicollector jvm down alert suggest to follow the thread Java Agent Availalbility (up/down) status metric

I'm not sure this addressing load balancing, does it?

You can do this without a script by creating an alarm based on a particular agent's connection status; then another alarm based on the output values of the first alarm that will alarm if the alarm is not 1. That way when the connection status gets trimmed you will still have an active alarm.

The second alarm can be a metric group with all the alarms for the individual agents you want to keep track of. The individual agent alarms should be set with to accept connection information from any collector in your cluster and require all of the connection information to be non-1 in order to alarm (that way you won't be alerted if an agent shifts to another collector).

Step by step instructions:
1. Create an metric grouping based on an agent connection value, e.g.:
(.*)\|Custom Metric Process \(Virtual\)\|Custom Metric Agent \(Virtual\) \(COLLECTORPREFIX.@PORTPREFIX.\)\|Agents\|SERVERNAME\|WTGManager\|WTGAgent:ConnectionStatus

2. Create a simple alarm to alert based on a it NOT having a value of 1 in ALL items in the above metric grouping

3. Create a metric grouping to pull in all the agent alarms:
(.*)\|Custom Metric Process \(Virtual\)\|Custom Metric Agent \(Virtual\)\|Alerts\|Bob:AgentConnect_(.*)

4. Create a simple alarm to alert based on ANY not having a value of 1 in the above metric grouping; set actions as desired.

While the script above obviously could be more efficient for a large amount of agents to track, I have a personal preference to try and do things within the Workstation so that its more visible and accessible.

Nice one, guys!
