Dynamically start and stop the java agent

Dean_Marchetti — Wed, 27 Mar 2024 12:50:35 GMT

Request: Dynamically start and stop the java agent.

We are running version 20.10.0.31173 on Java 8. Please, we know we are behind on versions this is a separate issue.

-------------------

What we have observed when starting Wildfly 26.0.1 is the following:

The alert condition for 'keycloak.war failed to deploy' was triggered.

Alert:Search String:Trigger Time:

Keycloak.war failed to deploy

sourcetype=btierservice "parameter 0 of method repositorySchemaController"

07:02:34 -0400 on March 26, 2024.

This is an intermittent problem at the time. The investigation considers several aspects of the environment, and we would like to control one pertaining to the start/stop of Appd.

So, is there a way to start Appd after the application has been initialized? Thus ruling out Appd.

Hi All, I'm sorry for not replying sooner. I have been out of the office and did not have a chance to reply.

The reply from Terence is not what we were looking for, but it may be an answer to the issue.

We plan to test the answer from Terence over the next week or so. Please stay tuned.

We want to discuss this with technical support.

As of this time it seems we are acting as QA when we need a fix.
