QuestionQ1

Collectors, Information Points, and Service Endpoints

Which three pieces of information are needed when creating a new database collector?

Choose three
  • A Primary table name
  • B Database hostname/IP address
  • C System table name
  • D Database Type
  • E Port number
Explanation

A database collector’s connection details include the database type, the hostname or IP address of the machine hosting the database, and the listener port through which the database communicates with the Database Agent. Table names are not collector connection fields.

QuestionQ2

Agents and Application Performance

A Performance Analyst receives an alert that the Average Response Time has increased after a new marketing offer was released. Which metric would quickly help the Performance Analyst determine that users might not be critically affected?

  • A Errors per Minute increase
  • B Calls per Minute decrease
  • C Errors per Minute decrease
  • D Calls per Minute increase
Explanation

Calls per minute measures application load. When calls per minute decreases while average response time rises, fewer transactions and therefore fewer users are experiencing the slower performance. Splunk AppDynamics health-rule guidance similarly correlates response-time conditions with a minimum calls-per-minute threshold so that response-time degradation is treated as significant only when load is sufficiently high.

QuestionQ3

Health Rules, Dashboards, and Snapshots

In the Slow Transactions configuration, under Configure Diagnostic Session Duration and Collection Rate, what is the default pair for “Collect up to ______ snapshots per minute for ______ minutes”?

  • A 2, 2
  • B 5, 5
  • C 10, 10
  • D 4, 4
Explanation

The default slow-transaction diagnostic-session collection configuration captures up to 10 snapshots per minute for 10 minutes.

QuestionQ4

Agents and Application Performance

A Performance Analyst has enabled Development Level Monitoring for an application. Under the default configuration, in which scenario is Development Level Monitoring automatically disabled?

  • A A maximum of 500 calls per minute limit is exceeded, and Maximum heap utilization percentage goes above 90%
  • B A maximum of 1500 calls per minute limit is exceeded, and Maximum heap utilization percentage goes above 90%
  • C A maximum of 1000 calls per minute limit is exceeded, and Maximum heap utilization percentage goes above 95%
  • D A maximum of 2000 calls per minute limit is exceeded, and Maximum heap utilization percentage goes above 95%
Explanation

For each node, the default App Agent limit is 500 calls per minute, and the maximum JVM heap-utilization threshold is 90%. Exceeding these development-monitoring limits causes the agent to turn off Development Level Monitoring automatically.

QuestionQ5

Collectors, Information Points, and Service Endpoints

Which three data points are available when drilling down into a JDBC exit call for an Oracle backend?

Choose three
  • A Query type
  • B Statement type
  • C Query Id
  • D Weight %
  • E Originating node
  • F %Time
Explanation

Oracle JDBC exit-call details include the query type, statement type, and originating node, which identify the SQL operation, JDBC statement category, and application node that initiated the database call.
