Question by Peter M. · Feb 04, 2012 at 12:04 AM ·

Beginner-Help with simple Linux Apache server setup

Beginner's question.  Simply to learn the installation procedures in a 'real life' case.

Installed dT4.1 on my windows XP laptop. License, etc all looks good. IE has the browser agent installed. 

I have a simple home server running on Ubuntu 11.10, apache2.2.20 running a simple php recipe app using mysql database.

Loaded the x.so module; the untarred agent is dtwsagent.ini and that's the name I used in the ini file and that's what I used for the client settings.

Here's my Linux side ini file:

# This is NOT the port of the dynaTrace Collector this agent should connect to.
# Default: 8001
#Port 8001

# The name of the web server agent (used for agent mapping on the dynaTrace Server).
# Default: dtwsagent
Name dtwsagent

# The address of the dynaTrace Collector this agent should connect to.
# The address is of the form host:port, e.g. exampleserver:9998
# Default: localhost
Server dca044960n02:9998   <<<< name of my laptop; had also tried the ip (wireless)

==rest is default ==

I'm able to see the web browser agent, but have yet to see my Linux agent.

My colleague and I are both working on it and he's got several months of training on me!

Thanks for any help!

Peter,

Can you telnet from the linux box to your PC on port 9998? Something like this:

telnet dca044960n02 9998

I want to verify that the port 9998 is open on your PC or not.

I have the same situation with the same challenge. Port 9998 is open.

Agents have the status licensed and are mapped according the configuration.

Additionally, events are reported. But no performance data.

What can I expect from Dynatrace in a setup like this?

Best regards,

Will

When you talk about the IE Browser Agent and you test your application using our Browser Agent Recording you need to open the Browser Performance Report under your System Profile -> Diagnose Browser. there you will find all information that dynaTrace captured from Internet Explorer (Network requets, JavaScript Execution, Rendering, ...)

If you want to do server-side performance analysis you need to make sure to have all your server-side agents connected, e.g: The Web Server Agent, your Java or .NET Application Server. Then the data captured can be analyzed using the dashlets under Diagnose Performance (such as the PurePath, Database or Methods Dashlet)
As your sample application seems to be PHP I wonder what it exactly is that you want to analyze. As dynaTrace doesnt yet support PHP you can analyze the activities in the Browser (using our Firefox and IE plugin) and the activities in the Web Server (using our Web Server Agent and our UEM capabilities)

If you want to learn more about how to setup dynaTrace I recommend the following resources:

Thanks for the extensive answer. :-)

I do this as an exploration of the boundaries.

What I hope to sea is the client site clicks at html- and java script level since part of the java scripts is based on jquery. But of not - so be it - it stops then and there.
