Example Java main method for -Dappdynamics.agent.startup.hook=<JAR-file>

[Ketan_Mistry]

Looking at https://docs.appdynamics.com/display/PRO40/Instrument+JVMs+in+Restricted+Environments

Step 1. Implement a class with Java main method

Can someone send me an example of how the main method would look like?

Hi , 

You could google it example, this is general https://docs.oracle.com/javase/tutorial/getStarted/application/  and  https://docs.oracle.com/javase/tutorial/deployment/jar/build.html , Hope that is what you are looking for

Hmmm, no not what I was looking for. The AppDynamics documentation states:

This "startup hook" allows a single point of deployment for the agent.

I want to understand what this means, and how you do it, if you do not want to specify AppDynamics properties on the JVM command line.

Hi Ketan,

Say you are starting a standalone jar as referred in attached screenshot initially Or using startup script instead modifying jvm args, you can pass the jar as jvm arg as referred in attached screenshot see if that information helps, agent config parameters like application-name, node-name must be passed under <Agent_dir>/conf/controller-info.xml as well, Can you please confirm if this info helps

I got this working now.
