This add-on provides an Alert Acction to send Splunk Alert details as Custom Event on Appdynamics.
Before setting up this Alert Addon for Appdynamics, the following is needed from an Appdynamics administrator:
An Appdynamics administrator must create an API Client, a user for access of API client and Access Token which will be used by the Splunk Alert App to create Custom Event on Appdynamics. The API user should ideally belong to a system user as opposed to an actual “human” user.
Follow the guide on Appdynamics to create API Client and generate Access Token.
https://docs.appdynamics.com/display/PRO45/API+Clients
Once Access Token is created and the app is installed, follow the steps to configure the app.
1. Goto Splunk manage apps.
2. Look for “Splunk Alerts to Appdynamics” app and click on “Set Up”.
3. Now provide your Appdynamics environment URL and Access Token created before.
4. Once entered click “Save”.
While scheduling the alert, select “Send to Appdynamics” action from the action menu. You can provide the following parameters for Custom Event to be created on Appdynamics app.
