Question

A Java-based web application was instrumented. The browser snapshots provide a detailed look at an individual page request, however the correlated server-side snapshots are missing for all requests. What are two reasons for this missing correlated server-side snapshots? (Choose two.)

Options

  • AServer has set the the HitpOnly flag on all cookies.
  • BCorrelated server-side snapshots work only for NET Applications.
  • CCorrelated snapshots are visible only if the injection mechanism is Automatic.
  • DCorrelated snapshots are visible only if browser is Chrome.
  • EServer side application is not instrumented with server agent.
  • FCorrelated server-side snapshots are visible only if Java version is 1.7+.

Explanation

According to the Cisco AppDynamics Professional Implementer (CAPI) documents, the two reasons for the missing correlated server-side snapshots are: Server has set the HttpOnly flag on all cookies. (A) This is a valid reason because the HttpOnly flag is a security feature that prevents client-side scripts from accessing the cookies. However, the AppDynamics JavaScript Agent relies on the cookies to correlate the browser snapshots with the server-side snapshots. The JavaScript Agent injects a cookie named _appdyn_browser into the browser requests, which contains the correlation information. If the server sets the HttpOnly flag on all cookies, including the _appdyn_browser cookie, the JavaScript Agent cannot read or modify the cookie, and the correlation fails. To enable the correlation, the server should not set the HttpOnly flag on the _appdyn_browser cookie. Server-side application is not instrumented with server agent. (E) This is a valid reason because the server-side snapshots are collected by the AppDynamics app agents that instrument the application servers. The app agents monitor the business transactions that are executed by the server-side application, and capture the execution context, call graphs, errors, and metrics. If the server-side application is not instrumented with the app agent, the server-side snapshots are not available, and the correlation fails. To enable the correlation, the server-side application should be instrumented with the app agent that is compatible with the application server and the
