Add AppDynamics as a Verification Provider

To set up AppDynamics to work with Harness' Continuous Verification features, you must add AppDynamics as Harness Verification Provider.

Before You Begin​

Limitations​

Harness does not support AppDynamics Lite. If you set up AppDynamics with Harness using an AppDynamics Pro Trial account, and that trial expires, you will be using AppDynamics Lite—which will not work with Harness.

If you require more flexibility than the standard integration outlined here, you also have the option to add AppDynamics as a Custom APM.

Step 1: Add Verification Provider​

To begin adding AppDynamics as a Harness Verification Provider,:

  1. In Harness, click Setup.

  2. Click Connectors, and then click Verification Providers.

  3. Click Add Verification Provider, and select AppDynamics. The Add AppDynamic Verification Provider dialog appears.

Step 2: Display Name​

Enter a name for this connection. You will use this name when selecting the Verification Provider in Harness Environments and Workflows.

If you plan to use multiple providers of the same type, ensure that you give each provider a different name.

Step 3: Account Name​

In the Account Name field, enter the name of AppDynamics account you want to use.

For Harness On-Prem, enter customer1.

Step 4: Controller URL​

In the Controller URL field, enter the URL of the AppDynamic controller in the format:

http://<Controller_Host>:<port>/controller

For example:

https://xxxx.saas.appdynamics.com/controller

Step 5: User Name and Password​

In the User Name and Encrypted Password fields, enter the credentials to authenticate with the AppDynamics server.

In Encrypted Password, select or create a new Harness Encrypted Text secret.

Only local AppDynamics users are supported. SAML users are not supported.

Step 6: Usage Scope​

Usage scope is inherited from the secret used in Encrypted Password.

Step 7: Test and Save​

  1. When you have set up the dialog, click Test.
  2. Once the test is successful, click Submit to add this Verification Provider.
