Feedback on dynaTrace Evaluation

I can't get my installation to work. I'm seeing script errors flying by during the unpacking of the dynatrace server stage. 

The trial worked well, could really see what was going on with the database accesses, I'm running vBulletin forum software, so there isn't much code I can change without spending years on it. I did leave the Dynatrace running on the server over night and the server has fallen over by morning.  So only ran it in short bursts after that. It pointed me to a few areas. I upgraded the RAM on the server as noticed HDD activity, went from 4GB to 8GB, Dynatrace ran better then. There is a lot of details in Dynatrace certainly great for tuning a website. 

Hi Team,

We want to evaluate the Dyna Trace tool. DO you have any team in India to provide demo on your tool at the organization level.

Web-ex session is also possible.

We will be thankful to you.

Thanks,

Vikas

Great to hear you got it working. It shouldnt take a full day until it is available for another machine. In case you need a longer free trial license follow the instructions in the emails that were sent to you. There should be an option that explains how to "extend" the license

Hi Team,

I have deactivated the current installation on my machine & want to install on another machine & I am unable to do this operation.

I have to do it within next 2 days as I am approaching the “Expiration Date” that is Sep 12, 2014.

Any help?

Thanks & Regards,

Sandesh

Hi,

I could not connect to my remote tomcat server in the due period given to me. I want to restart my evaluation with Dynatrace. Kindly provide me one more license to complete the POC.

Hello,

I have the same kind of issue that James Ruzinok had. (but I installed ver 5.6.0)

By the way, is this a reason why I can't install license with dynatrace client?

(It said "You have no permission to a deploy a license")

Well it looks like there are 2 issues that need to be corrected:

1)      Permissions. Both the collector and Server cannot write the configuration file.

1. Collector: <title>Invalid Configuration Location</title>The configuration area at 'C:\Program Files (x86)\dynaTrace\dynaTrace 5.5.0\collector\osgi' could not be created.  Please choose a writable location using the '-configuration' command line option.
2. Server: <title>Invalid Configuration Location</title>The configuration area at 'C:\Program Files (x86)\dynaTrace\dynaTrace 5.5.0\server\osgi' could not be created.  Please choose a writable location using the '-configuration' command line option.

2)      Issue with Java VM for server:

1. Error occurred during initialization of VM
2. Could not reserve enough space for object heap
3. Could not create the Java virtual machine.

I’ve attached all the logs generated as I attempted to install yesterday just prior to leaving for day.  Too bad it is not as easy as a port conflict, oh well.

I'm running Windows 7 x64 OS.  I initially downloaded and installed the x64 Full Install and the 32 bit Client but the server instance wouldn't connect when going to the client.  I opened my IIS manager and the path referenced was not configured in IIS.  The Installer completed without errors.  Then I saw in the Quick Start guide were it stated to install the 32 bit version so I uninstalled the 64 bit version and installed the 32 bit.  Still can't connect to http://localhost:2021, getting error: Settings seem to be erroneous, the connection test failed.  IOException: Unable to connect to localhost:2021 because of the following exceptions: Connection refused: connect, Unable to connect to localhost:2021 because of: ConnectException: Connection refused: connect. 

Looking at the event logs I see that the dynaTrace server and Collector started then stopped one second later for a few times.  During the process the Analysis Server started and stopped once.  Then after the synaTrace Server logged successfully started it is followed by an error with event ID 1006, The 'dynaTrace Server 5.5.0' terminated unexpectedly.  This happens 3 times then an error with event ID 1007 is entered Terminating 'dynaTrace Server 5.5.0': The number of restarts exceeded the maximum of 3 restarts in sequence (time delay between restarts less than 60 seconds).

I'm scheduled to attend the training in Boston on 5/12/14 and want to get this and the easyTravel application installed to complete the pre-requisites completed.  Any assistance would be appreciated.

Thanks,

James

Hi

It is possible to install Server, Collector and Agent on the same box. That should not be a problem.

Can you let me know what exact problem you ran into? What are these errors you are seeing? Where do you see them?
