Intro

AppNeta provides proactive end-user performance monitoring for any application, network, or cloud. To learn more about the AppNeta TraceView API, visit their page (https://docs.appneta.com/api.html ). You connect to your AppNeta TraceView account in the Data Center. This topic discusses the fields and menus that are specific to the AppNeta TraceView connector user interface. General information for adding DataSets, setting update schedules, and editing DataSet information is discussed in Adding a DataSet Using a Data Connector.

​
Prerequisites

To connect to your AppNeta TraceView account and create a DataSet, you must have the AppNeta access key for your organization. You can find your access key either from your organization page or in your config file (/etc/tracelytics.conf ) on a machine with TraceView installed.

​
Connecting to Your AppNeta TraceView Account

This section enumerates the options in the Credentials and Details panes in the AppNeta TraceView Connector page. The components of the other panes in this page, Scheduling and Name & Describe Your DataSet, are universal across most connector types and are discussed in greater length in Adding a DataSet Using a Data Connector.

​
