Installing Java Agent in a Spring Boot application

1. Extract the zip file to a new directory to find agent jar and its configuration files
2. Open the apminsight.conf file in any text editor, enter your license.key (which can be obtained from the OpManager Nexus APM Insight page), configure the application.name and agent.server.port values as required, and save the file. Refer here to fine-tune the agent settings.
   
   Note

   If multiple Java applications or instances are running on the same host, configure application-specific properties, such as application.name and agent.server.port, as JVM system properties instead of configuring them in the apminsight.conf file. For more information, refer to this KB article.

3. Add the following argument to your application startup command.
   

   java -javaagent:<agent_directory_full_path>/apminsight-javaagent.jar <your_application_JVM_args_if_any> -jar <spring_application>.jar

   Example:
   

   java -javaagent:/opt/apm/apminsight-javaagent.jar -jar <spring_appliction>.jar
