Configure APM Insight application using system properties

APM Insight application configuration parameters can also be configured as Java System Properties as mentioned below:

Name	Key
Application Name	-Dapminsight.application.name=<your_app_name>
Applications Manager Host Name	-Dapminsight.apm.host=<your_app_host>
License Key	-Dapminsight.license.key=<your_apminsight_license_key>
Proxy config	-Dapminsight.agent.proxy=user:pswd@host:port
apminsight.log.dir	-Dapminsight.log.dir=/usr/local/qa-123/logs

Specifying the above system properties along with the Java arguments will override the values specified in apminsight.conf file.

Example:

For Windows:
set JAVA_OPTS=%JAVA_OPTS% -Dapminsight.application.name=MyApplication -Dapminsight.apm.host=http://apm-prod-server:9090/ -Dapminsight.license.key=APMI_74447444b666d7ab5174cc3021a9b68dd4b3364d50f99c2969360810313e8fac
For Linux:
export JAVA_OPTS="$JAVA_OPTS -Dapminsight.application.name=MyApplication -Dapminsight.apm.host=http://apm-prod-server:9090 -Dapminsight.license.key=APMI_74447444b666d7ab5174cc3021a9b68dd4b3364d50f99c2969360810313e8fac"

Note:

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
