Which finding would most directly explain an agent that starts successfully but never appears in the Instana interface?
Select an answer to reveal the explanation.
Short Explanation
If it starts fine but never shows up, look at the path to the backend. Blocked outbound traffic means the agent can run locally while its data never reaches Instana.
Full Explanation
The finding that most directly explains this is blocked outbound traffic to the backend endpoint, because an agent that starts cleanly has passed its local checks, so a total absence in the interface points to the path outward, most commonly a firewall or proxy blocking the backend endpoint. The idea that the host has more monitored applications than the agent supports is incorrect because heavy hosts produce partial or delayed data rather than none. The idea that the dashboard has not been created for that host yet is incorrect because hosts appear without any dashboard being created for them. The idea that the agent was installed before the applications were started is incorrect because agents discover applications that start later. For the exam, associate 'starts but never appears' with blocked connectivity.
