How do I track using DynaTrace that which all servers the APPLICATION is touching : There are around 2000 servers and on an average around 5 virtual machine on each server. The Applications are ported on these various servers. I need to know that which all servers are used by various applications. Is there any way I can know

Hi.
What you need is to install agents on those JVMs, CLRs or Web Servers that run on these servers. once you have agents installed that report to dynaTrace you will automatically get PurePaths for each request that is executed. PurePaths are tagged with an Application Identifier which by default is the hostname of the application based on the web URL, e.g: http://myapp1.company.com would be myapp1.company.com
Using the Transaction Flow dashlet you can then view all transactions for a particular application and then see which JVMs and Hosts an application is running on.
It seems you are having a very large installation here. 2000 servers times 5 virtual machines on each server. Please make sure that - in case you really have agents on all of these 10000 virtual servers that you consult our support team for an XLarge Deployment. More details on deployment can be found in Deployment Guide
