Ashok,

Your first step will be to introduce the AppDynamics java agent into the JVM running your Spring Boot application.

This process is described here.

Warm regards,
Peter

I added the javaagent path in the VM argument of spring boot application in eclipse like below. But when I start my application, application gets start and I am not seeing any message related to java agent starting also I am not seeing any connection established from agent to controller on controller UI. Cloud you please help to identify the issue here.

-Djavaagent:D:/Applogs/appagent/javaagent.jar

The correct option to load an agent into the JVM is "-javaagent", not "-Djavaagent"

I hope that helps. If not, please post full detail of your command line.

I tried that as well but didn't work. Below is the exact parameter I have added as VM arguments in eclipse. Agent is not getting start

I have started the spring boot in command line using below command still didn't work.

java -javaagent:D:/Applogs/appagent/javaagent.jar -jar loan-origination-0.0.1-SNAPSHOT.jar

Appreciate if your help to resolve this issue.

Do you see any agent logs written under D:/Applogs/appagent/ver4.x.y.x/logs/<nodename>?

What happens if you run

"java -version -javaagent:D:/Applogs/appagent/javaagent.jar"

from the command line?

I don't see any log file generated under D:/Applogs/appagent/ver4.x.y.x/logs/

When I did java -version -javaagent:D:/Applogs/appagent/javaagent.jar" it printed below,

java -version D:\Applogs\AppServerAgent-4.5.9.25648\javaagent.jar

Sorry, my mistake, I reversed the options.

What happens when you run:

"java -javaagent:D:/Applogs/appagent/javaagent.jar -version"

OK, so the good news is that we have established that your agent installation is fine.

Does your spring boot application work fine when the agent is loaded via the command line?

What does the "jps -v" command show when it is running?

It might be easier to troubleshoot this via a support ticket if we don't uncover anything via the above suggestions.
