I would expect DetectCondition="ub5Present" to work then. Have you tried 'NOT ub5Present = ""'?
Hopefully someone else will jump in and confirm the syntax.

Empirically, it appears that utils:ComponentSearch sets the return value (in this case, ub5Present) to the component's key path if found, and to the empty string if not found. I'm now looking through the 3.7 source code for DetectCondition to see why condition 'ub5Present <> ""' evaluates to true when the string is empty. ------------------------------------------------------------------------------ Get 100% visibility into Java/.NET code with AppDynamics Lite!
