How to group applications？

[yangmilestone]

Hello, we have two different projects (A and B), A project has 10 service components, B has 8 service components, we monitor A and B respectively, when all the configurations are successful, the web UI "Application list" drop-down box appears 18 application options, is there any good way to press A, B group display application components?

Hi @yangmilestone
You can group agents by having them share the same application name.

For your case, agents in project A would have say -Dpinpoint.applicationName=ProjectA, and agents in project B would have -Dpinpoint.applicationName=ProjectB.
This will result in your server map having 2 nodes, ProjectA and ProjectB; where ProjectA having 10 agents, and ProjectB having 8 agents.

@Xylus This is not working for me, It used to work till 1.8 but now we are running 2.2.2 using the docker-compose and services are not grouped according to the application name.

Hello,

I'm facing a similar "issue".
I have an app that is compose of 10 microservices (docker containers).
I would like to monitor 2 environments (dev and preprod) and see them as applicaitons in the drop down list. But I also would like to have 10 nodes for each of the applications in the server map.

Is that possible?

Thanks

Unfortunately there is no grouping feature.
This feature will be added in pinpoint 4.0, which will be released in 2024.

Current Hierarchy : ApplicationName/AgentID
4.0 Hierarchy : ServiceName/ApplicationName/AgentID
eg) Cafe / APIGW / agent1 ~ 10

Thank you @emeroad.
I will pay attention to the version releases.
