• Update rate – How often ReadyAPI should pull data from the AppDynamics server (in seconds).

  Due to the AppDynamics restrictions, actual response may be delayed.

ReadyAPI gets all the metrics provided by the AppDynamics APM platform.

Here are the most popular metrics, specified by default:

• Overall Application Performance|Calls per Minute - The total number of business transaction executions each minute.

• Overall Application Performance|Average Response Time (ms) - The average time per minute to handle a business transaction.

• Overall Application Performance|Average End to End Latency (ms) - The average time spent to handle end to end message transactions.

To connect to AppDynamics through a proxy:

1. Open Preferences > HTTP and modify the following settings:

   Setting	New value
   Max connections per host:	5000
   Max total connections	20000

2. Configure ReadyAPI proxy and turn it on.

Unlike the other ReadyAPI monitors, the AppDynamics monitor gathers only metrics you specified during a test run. It means that after the test run, you cannot view other metrics on the Statistics page.
