Question 3 · Agents Open
After you install the standalone machine agent, how can you enable it to begin collecting metrics?
Answer: D
The standalone AppDynamics Machine Agent collects and reports metrics only while its agent process or service is running. Installation places and configures the agent software, but starting the Machine Agent activates metric collection.
