Hi Team,

We have installed AppDynamics java agent on IBM Cloud servers on Linux boxes. The agents were successfully installed as well as we are getting metrics but we have a problem on the agent side.

We’re seeing the below error on server startup related to appdynamics. Do you know what this means? How do we resolve it?

INFO   | jvm 1    | main    | 2020/05/01 04:38:22.310 | Install Directory resolved to[/export/home/AppDynamics/AppServerAgent]
INFO   | jvm 1    | main    | 2020/05/01 04:38:22.610 | ERROR StatusLogger No log4j2 configuration file found. Using default configuration: logging only errors to the console.

INFO   | jvm 1    | main    | 2020/05/01 04:38:22.811 | java.util.zip.ZipException: error in opening zip file

I have also disabled  - "Detect errors logged using Log4j" from AppDynamics Console in the Error Detection Tab 

Please help

Hi @APG Monitoring Team.APG Monitoring Team,

Thanks for that info. Looks like there is a newer version available 20.4 if you are willing to try that.
