What is the primary purpose of agent health alerts in AppDynamics?

To automatically restart agents that are not performing well

To provide a summary of application performance metrics

To notify administrators of potential issues with agent performance or connectivity

A Java agent is causing high CPU usage (80%) on a production server. The application is critical and cannot be restarted. You need to reduce the agent's CPU impact without losing all monitoring data. What is the best approach?

Increase the agent's thread pool size to distribute the load.

Set the agent's log level to 'error' to reduce logging overhead.

Disable the agent's transaction analytics to reduce CPU usage.

Restart the application to reset the agent.

A Java agent is using 100% of one CPU core, causing high latency in the application. The agent log shows no errors. What is the most likely cause?

The application is making too many calls to the agent's API.

The agent is in a tight loop due to a bug in the agent code.

The agent's thread pool is too small.

The controller is sending too many configuration updates.

A PHP agent is not connecting to the controller. The agent log shows 'Failed to connect: No route to host'. The controller is reachable from the server via ping. What is the most likely cause?

A firewall is blocking the agent's traffic to the controller's port.

The controller's service is not running.

The agent's license is invalid.

The agent's configuration has an incorrect controller hostname.
