AppDynamics
The AppDynamics integration allows you to retrieve events from AppDynamics and send them to Moogsoft Enterprise.
When you use the integrations UI, you can only configure the visible properties. If you want to implement a more complex AppDynamics LAM with custom settings, see Configure the AppDynamics LAM
See the AppDynamics documentation for details on AppDynamics components.
