How to Install APM Insight AutoProfiler
The APM Insight AutoProfiler automatically detects running application processes and attaches the appropriate APM Insight agents for monitoring. This eliminates the need to manually install language- or platform-specific agents, configure them, or modify your application code.
Note: APM Insight AutoProfiler is a component of the Full-Stack Observability (FSO) Agent and cannot be used as a standalone service. FSO Agent installation is mandatory before using AutoProfiler.
