 The default auto-refresh interval for custom dashboards is 120 seconds. This means that the data displayed on the dashboard will be updated every two minutes. The auto-refresh interval can be configured by the dashboard owner or administrator from the dashboard settings. The auto-refresh interval can be set to any value between 15 and 300 seconds, or disabled altogether. The auto-refresh interval applies to all the widgets on the dashboard, unless a widget has its own refresh interval specified.

To properly configure a database agent from a zip file, you need to provide the following minimum details:

• Controller Host: This is the hostname or IP address of the machine where the Controller is installed. You need to specify this so that the Database Agent can communicate with the Controller and send the collected data1
• Controller Port: This is the port number that the Controller listens on for incoming connections. You need to specify this so that the Database Agent can connect to the Controller using the correct protocol. The default ports are 8090 for HTTP and 8181 for HTTPS for on-premise Controllers, and 80 for HTTP and 443 for HTTPS for SaaS Controllers1
• Account Access Key: This is the key that authenticates the Database Agent with the Controller. You need to specify this so that the Database Agent can register itself with the Controller and access the license. You can find the account access key in the Controller UI under Settings > License > Account1
• Account Name: This is the name of the account that the Database Agent belongs to. You need to specify this so that the Database Agent can associate itself with the correct application and user permissions. You can find the account name in the Controller UI under Settings > License > Account1

• Verify the database connection details. You need to provide the host, port, database name, and credentials for the database that you want to monitor. You also need to select the database type and the collector type1
• Create a database user and set user permissions. You need to create a database user with the minimum required permissions to access the database and run the queries that the Database Agent needs. You can use the scripts provided by AppDynamics to create the user and grant the permissions2
