Java Agent and BCI agent

sattha_puangput — Wed, 22 Jun 2022 04:53:42 GMT

The AppDynamics Java Agent is one type of bytecode injection (BCI) agent.

So, what does it do with the java application?

Actually from what I have seen it intercept the http request and modify it by adding the header for local proxy authentication.

Not sure if you still have a question, but here is our AppD docs page overview for the Java Agent: https://docs.appdynamics.com/22.6/en/application-monitoring/install-app-server-agents/java-agent

@Ryan.Paredez , Actually, I would like to know whether Java agent intercept on every request to do the proxy request and transfer to AppDynamic server or not?

I have a problem with proxy server authentication recently. because my services have higher TPS.
