Cisco AppDynamics 500-420 Questions & Answers

• Question 61:

  Which three reports can be scheduled for periodic generation and delivery to email recipients? (Choose three.)

  A. Ad Hoc Data

  B. Application Health

  C. Error Trends

  D. Custom Dashboard

  E. Controller Audit

  F. Tier List

  Correct Answer: BCD

  AppDynamics allows for several reports to be scheduled for periodic generation and sent to email recipients. Among these, Application Health, Error Trends, and CustomDashboards are types of reports that can be automatically generated

  and delivered, providing regular insights into the application's performance and issues.

• Question 62:

  Which two things should a Performance Analyst check if an agent has failed to register with the Controller after several minutes? (Choose two.)

  A. total free RAM

  B. network/firewall rules

  C. current CPU load average

  D. free license count

  Correct Answer: BD

  If an agent fails to register with the Controller, a Performance Analyst should check the network/firewall rules to ensure that the agent can communicate with the Controller over the network. Additionally, it is crucial to verify the free license

  count to confirm thatthere are available licenses for the agent to register. Insufficient licenses or network communication barriers can prevent successful agent registration.

  works, including how to check for available licenses.

• Question 63:

  Which statement is correct regarding controller-level and tier/node-level dashboards?

  A. The Performance Analyst can associate a controller-level dashboard with a tier or node through the My Dashboards tab

  B. From the controller-level dashboards list the Performance Analyst can access any tier/node-level dashboards outside the application in which they were created.

  C. Controller-level and tier/node-level dashboards are two separate sets. The Performance Analyst cannot cross-reference between these dashboards.

  D. Controller-level and tier/node-level dashboards are not scoped to be separate entities.

  Correct Answer: C

  Controller-level and tier/node-level dashboards in AppDynamics are treated as separate entities. They are scoped differently, with controller-level dashboards providing a global view across the entire AppDynamics domain, and tier/node-level

  dashboards being specific to particular tiers or nodes within an application. Performance Analysts do not have the ability to cross-reference directly between these two sets of dashboards within the AppDynamics UI.

• Question 64:

  Refer to the exhibit.

  

  When looking at the Transaction Score for a specific transaction, how are errors in the transaction identified?

  A. Set the time range and drill down into the snapshots in the Error tab.

  B. Set the time range and examine the Slow Response Times tab.

  C. Set the time range and examine the dashboard for errors.

  D. Set the time range and drill down into the snapshots in the Events tab.

  Correct Answer: A

  Errors in a transaction are identified by examining the snapshots that capture the problematic transactions. By setting the appropriate time range, a Performance Analyst can drill down into the snapshots within the Error tab to identify and

  analyze errors. These snapshots provide detailed diagnostic information, such as stack traces, slow SQL queries, and error logs, which are vital for pinpointing the root cause of transaction errors.
