Instructions for the AppDynamics Lite ami

 ami-37f8335e.

Users who wish to try out AppDynamics Lite should launch an instance using this AMI. 

While selecting the parameters for launch, users should choose the Instance Type as c1.medium and create a new key pair unless one already exists for that user. 

Once the instance is running, the user may ssh into the new instance using:

1. The DNS name for that instance

2. the .pem (key pair) file from above 

3. the user ec2-user 

as shown below:

[~]# ssh -i pranta-keypair2.pem ec2-user@ec2-107-22-18-12.compute-1.amazonaws.com

See /usr/share/doc/system-release-2011.02 for latest release notes. :-)

The newly launched AppDynamics Lite instance contains both the AppServerAgentLite and the LiteViewer. For more information on these components, please visit http://litedocs.appdynamics.com,

There are specifically 2 usage patterns and these are described below.

• 
  Usage-Pattern-1: In this pattern, the user deploys the application to be monitored onto the AWS instance above that contains the AppDynamics components and instruments that application using the AppServerAgentLite available there.
  
  1. 
     
     

• 
  Usage-Pattern-2: In this pattern, the user continues to run the application wherever it is currently running, but zips up and downloads the AppDynamics AppServerAgentLite from the AWS instance and copies it to the machine where the application is running. The user then attaches the AppServerAgentLite to the application on a separate machine and points that agent to point to the LiteViewer running on the AWS instance above. To achieve this zipping up and copying of the agent, the following steps need to be followed:
  
  1. 
     
     

Step 1: Zip up the agent into a zip file
