In environments where virtual machines are frequently created and destroyed, using the agent configuration properties-Dappdynamics.agent.reuse.nodeNameand-Dappdynamics.agent.reuse.nodeName.prefixcan be beneficial. These settings allow AppDynamics agents to reuse node names for newly created instances, facilitating consistent monitoring and tracking across dynamic environments. This approach helps maintain clarity in application topology and ensures that performance data remains coherent even as the underlying infrastructure changes.
