Adding components to an application profile
A component is a single data point that is collected as part of an application profile. For example, the CPU Utilization component.
APM is licensed on a per-component basis, meaning that each component monitored uses one license. However, adding components to an application profile does not consume a license. A license is only consumed when a component is used by an application instance. Learn more about APM terminology.
