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 04:38:22.811 | 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
