A Java application's response time is degrading over a 24-hour period. The administrator observes that the JVM heap usage grows steadily and the garbage collection (GC) time increases proportionally. Which metric pair should the administrator correlate to confirm a memory leak?

CPU utilization and thread count

Heap usage after GC and GC time

Error rate and transaction count

A database-backed application is slow. The AppDynamics flow map shows that the database call is the slowest component. The administrator wants to see if the slowness is caused by a specific SQL statement. Which metric should be examined?

Overall database connection pool size

Database call response time segmented by SQL query

Number of database calls per minute

Network latency to the database server

A support team reports that a specific API endpoint fails intermittently. The AppDynamics administrator checks the transaction dashboard and sees a 5% error rate, but the average response time is normal. Which metric should the administrator review to understand the nature of the failures?

Average CPU of the application server

Error details in the transaction snapshots

Overall throughput of the endpoint

A team is investigating a performance issue that occurs only during a specific time window each day. The administrator wants to compare the performance metrics during the problematic window to a normal window. Which AppDynamics feature should be used to perform this comparison?

Dashboard widget with a single time range

Time range comparison in the metric browser

Part of the Alerts and Responses domain, which accounts for 15% of the APPDYNAMICS-ASSOCIATE-ADMINISTRATOR exam. Cisco does not publish an official question count, but from its 90-minute exam (~35–60 total, ~5–9 in this domain), expect 1–2 from this objective — we provide 16 practice questions to prepare you well beyond it.
