A Quick Example

Here's a simple example that retrieves a list of business applications from a controller on localhost, and prints them out:

from appd.request import AppDynamicsClient

c = AppDynamicsClient('http://localhost:8090', 'user1', 'password', 'customer1', verbose=True)
for app in c.get_applications():
    print app.name, app.id
