Install APM Insight Java Agent on Other Java Servers

Follow the steps below to install and configure the APM Insight Java Agent in your respective Java server environment:

  1. Download the latest APM Insight Java agent (apminsight-javaagent.zip) file.
  2. Extract the zip file to a new directory to find agent jar and its configuration files:

  3. Open the apminsight.conf file in any text editor and include the following keys:

    license.key=[LICENSE KEY] 
    apm.host=http://[HOST]:[PORT]

    Example:

    license.key=APMI_74447444b666d7ab5174cc3021a9b68dd4b3364d50f99c2969360810313e8fac 
    apm.host=http://apm-prod-server:9090
     

    To learn more about the configurations, visit our Configuration Guide page.

  4. Add the following entry to your server's JVM configurations:

    -javaagent:"<agent_directory_full_path>/apminsight-javaagent.jar"
  5. Save the JVM configuration and restart the application server.

Note: 

  • The argument -javaagent is similar to other Java arguments such as -X and -D. The argument must be added to your server configuration where heap memory, garbage collector, or system properties are configured. These configurations might be in a separate file or included in the command/script used to start your application server.
  • You can also configure a secure APM URL. Ensure that the connection is stable and free from certificate-related issues.
    Example: https://apm-prod-server:8443
  • For an Applications Manager failover setup, you can specify multiple hosts in a comma-separated format (supported from Java Agent v6.8), as shown below:
    apm.host=http://apm-prod-server-A:9090, http://apm-prod-server-B:9090
