Explanation

The AppDynamics standalone Machine Agent is a Java program that runs on a host machine and collects hardware and infrastructure metrics, such as CPU, memory, disk, and network usage. The Machine Agent can also perform additional functions, such as: Acting as a forwarder for analytics events: The Machine Agent can be configured to forward business transaction, log, browser, mobile, and synthetic events from the application agents to the AppDynamics Events Service, which is a distributed, scalable data store for analytics data. The Machine Agent can also forward custom events from the SDK or API to the Events Service. This allows you to use the AppDynamics Analytics features, such as dashboards, queries, funnels, and metrics, to analyze the performance and behavior of your applications and users. Starting an HTTP listener for custom metrics: The Machine Agent can be configured to start an HTTP listener that can receive custom metrics from external sources, such as scripts, tools, or other applications. The Machine Agent can then report these custom metrics to the AppDynamics Controller, where you can view them in the Metric Browser or use them in health rules, policies, or dashboards. This allows you to monitor any aspect of your system that is not covered by the default Machine Agent metrics.
