Using AppDynamics to monitor Pega application.
https://pdn.pega.com/community/pega-product-support/question/where-find-class-def-soapservice
Hi All,
We are enabling monitoring of a pega application with AppDynamics. Problem we are facing is, all the URL's are getting captured either in PRSOAPServlet or PRServlet business transactions and hence we are not able to distinguish between different business transactions. Did someone faced same issue?
All I understood from below threads of PDN is to monitor at the application class level. Please let me know what do you mean by application class level and how to achieve this.

I'm not sure what you mean by PRSOAPServlet or PRServlet business transactions or how URLs are getting captured. These are servlets, nothing more. I just learned something recently - apparently AppDynamics likes to insert fragments into jsp/html - so that they can gather metrics. In order to get this working with JEE applications (such as Pega), you have to disable compression. Seems like a heavy price but if your pages are lightweight, it shouldn't be too bad. Pega comes OOB with compression enabled.

All of our AppDynamics experience is indirect through our customers. We learn little tidbits like this as we go along - in the process of debugging various issues. You're going to want to consult AppDynamics for specifics.
For Application Class level - I don't remember the details - but its not at the method-level or even database connection level. Its higher - at the "class" level. Check out https://docs.appdynamics.com/display/PRO43/Development+Level+Monitoring
