DevOps / AppDynamics Interview questions
What is a Policy in AppDynamics?
A Policy connects a triggering condition — most commonly a health rule violation, but also events like a deployment or a specific error — to one or more Actions that should run automatically when that condition occurs.
Actions can include sending an email, posting to a chat tool like Slack, opening a ticket in ServiceNow or PagerDuty, calling a custom webhook, or even running a diagnostic action like starting a thread dump or triggering an adaptive session for deeper data collection.
Policies are what turn passive monitoring into active alerting: without one, a health rule violation just changes a color on a dashboard that someone has to be looking at; with a policy attached, the right person or system gets notified the moment it happens.
