Information Points in AppDynamics are custom metrics that track specific data within your applications, such as method invocations or the value of method arguments. These metrics can be utilized in various features of AppDynamics, most notably in "Alerting" and "Custom Dashboards." Alerting allows you to set up notifications based on the thresholds set for Information Points, ensuring that teams are promptly informed about significant changes or anomalies. Custom Dashboards enable the visualization of Information Points metrics alongside other key performance indicators, providing a comprehensive view of application health and performance tailored to specific needs.
