This edition focuses on delivering a robust data ingestion pipeline for metrics, traces, and logs into Cisco AppDynamics Cloud, enabling you to gain real-time visibility across distributed systems, microservices, containers, and serverless architectures. With a 1-year license and up to 1,000,000 tokens, organizations can accurately measure application performance, diagnose issues faster, and drive proactive optimization across multi-cloud environments. The Ingest Edition is crafted to integrate seamlessly with existing instrumentation, dashboards, and alerting frameworks, helping you maintain control over data growth while preserving security and compliance standards. Whether you’re migrating from legacy monitoring or expanding your cloud observability footprint, this license provides a predictable, scalable path to enhanced digital performance.

• 1-year term license for AppDynamics Cloud Ingest Edition with 1,000,000 tokens. This license grants access to the Ingest Edition capabilities for a full year, enabling substantial data ingestion capacity to support cloud-native observability across applications, services, and infrastructure.
• Token-based licensing for scalable, predictable data ingestion. Tokens serve as a transparent measure of ingestion capacity, helping you forecast usage, manage costs, and align observability with business goals as your cloud footprint grows.
• Fast, seamless activation and deployment. Activate the license digitally, configure ingestion sources, and begin streaming telemetry data into AppDynamics Cloud with minimal setup time and zero on-premises installation.
• Enterprise-ready security and governance. Benefit from role-based access, encrypted data in transit and at rest, and governance features that help you enforce compliance across multi-cloud environments.
• Flexible renewal and upgrade options. Plan for growth with clear renewal paths, including the ability to extend the term, increase token allocations, or upgrade to higher tiers as your observability needs evolve.

How to Install Cisco AppDynamics Cloud Ingest Edition

• Prepare your environment: Ensure you have an active AppDynamics Cloud account with administrator permissions and access to the licensing portal. Verify network connectivity to AppDynamics Cloud endpoints and confirm your cloud regions align with your data residency requirements.
• Acquire and apply the license: In the AppDynamics Cloud admin console, navigate to Licenses or Ingest Management. Choose to add a new license and enter the 1,000,000-token license key or upload the license file provided by Cisco. Confirm activation to unlock the Ingest Edition capabilities for the 1-year term.
• Configure ingestion sources: Define the data sources that will feed into AppDynamics Cloud. Map each source (applications, services, containers, or infrastructure components) to the appropriate dashboards, metrics, and logs to ensure accurate correlation and visibility.
• Set ingestion policies and quotas: Establish token usage thresholds, data retention policies, and alerting rules to monitor ingestion health. This helps prevent token depletion and ensures critical data is prioritized during peak periods.
• Validate ingestion and dashboards: Run test ingestions from representative workloads and verify that metrics, traces, and logs appear in the correct dashboards. Confirm that anomaly detection, baselining, and alerting respond as expected.
• Monitor and optimize usage: Use the AppDynamics Cloud analytics and reports to track token consumption, data volume, and performance trends. Plan renewals or token expansions ahead of the expiration date to maintain uninterrupted observability.
