When would you create a custom backend in AppDynamics?

When an external system is not automatically detected as a backend

When you want to change the name of an existing backend

When you want to delete a backend

When you want to monitor a database backend

An application uses a custom TCP-based service for file transfers. The service is not appearing as a backend. What is the best way to monitor this service in AppDynamics?

Create a custom backend and define a detection rule to match the exit calls to the TCP service.

Install an agent on the file transfer service.

Use a transaction snapshot to manually add the service as a backend.

Enable automatic backend discovery for TCP.

A transaction's response time has increased, but the Flow Map shows that the database backend's response time is unchanged. What should you investigate next?

The database backend's health rule violations.

Other backends or components in the transaction's call path, such as HTTP or messaging backends.

The database backend's error rate.

The database backend's throughput.

A database backend shows a gradual increase in response time over several weeks, but the business team has not reported any user-facing issues. What is the best course of action?

Disable the backend to reduce noise.

Ignore it, since there is no current user impact.

Increase the backend's health rule thresholds to avoid alerts.

Investigate the cause of the gradual increase, as it may eventually impact transactions if the trend continues.
