# Dynatrace AppMon monitor

The Dynatrace AppMon monitor (previously referred to as the Dynatrace monitor) provides information on the availability and performance of software applications and the impact on user experience measured by Dynatrace AppMon, an APM (Application Performance Management) tool.

In this topic:

## Dynatrace AppMon dashboards and dashlets

Using Dynatrace AppMon's dashboards and dashlets you can get insights into your full application stack, in the form of deep transaction tracing, synthetic monitoring, real user monitoring, and network monitoring.

A dashboard represents a specific view of one or more Dynatrace AppMon data sources. A dashboard is comprised of dashlets, the building blocks of a dashboard that contain specific types of data (in the form of a graph or data tables).

Note: Only dashlets that are represented as graphs in Dynatrace AppMon are available in LoadRunner Enterprise during the performance test run.

## Set up the Dynatrace AppMon monitor

This task describes how to configure the Dynatrace AppMon monitor.

1. Prerequisites

   - For the supported server versions, see the Integrations section of the System Requirements guide.

   - If your monitor accesses a server outside of your internal network, you may need to set up a web proxy to collect data from it. For details, see Prerequisites.

2. Configure the Dynatrace AppMon monitor from the monitor profile

   1. From the LoadRunner Enterprise navigation toolbar, click and select Monitors (under Assets).

   2. In the test resource tree, select an existing monitor profile, or click New Monitor Profile and create a new monitor profile.

   3. In the Monitor Profile page, click Add Monitor and select Dynatrace AppMon.

   4. In the Dynatrace AppMon page, enter the server details:

      UI Elements | Description
      --- | ---
      Server | The name or IP address of the server whose resources you want to monitor.
      Port | The port number of the Dynatrace AppMon server. Default value: `8020` for Dynatrace AppMon (HTTP) and `8021` for Dynatrace AppMon (HTTPS)
      Use HTTPS | Specify if you are using a secure HTTP connection.
      User Name | The monitored server's user name, if relevant.
      Password | The monitored server's password, if relevant.

3. Click Get Counters to display a list of available metrics and counters per metric from the selected Dynatrace AppMon application, and select the relevant measurements that you want to monitor.

   When you select a dashlet, all measurements of the dashlet are automatically selected.

   For detailed information on the performance measurements that Dynatrace AppMon can monitor, refer to the Dynatrace AppMon documentation.

   To work with Dynatrace AppMon monitors, there should be access from LoadRunner Enterprise to the Dynatrace AppMon Server REST interfaces, which by default use port 8020 (for HTTP) and 8021 (for HTTPS).
