Hi,

I am trying to instrument one of the Java Processes (JVM) running on a Windows Server.

I also went through the documentation https://docs.appdynamics.com/display/PRO42/Install+the+Java+Agent

But when I am trying to attach the Agent to the PID, its giving error.

D:\xxx\bin>java -Xbootclasspath/a:C:\Program Files (x86)\Java\jdk1.
8.0_65\lib\tools.jar -jar D:\monit\AppDynamics\AppServerAgent-4.4.0.17833\javaag
ent.jar 25628
Error: Could not find or load main class Files

Could someone please help in this case.

Regards

Udyan

Hi,

Check the path again. Try doyble slash or forward slash for windows.

Hi Udyan,

You can include the javagaent.jar as a argument in the startup script the argument should -javaagent:/path/to/jar/javaagaent.jar

For your approach, did you make sure that this is a valid path?

D:\monit\AppDynamics\AppServerAgent-4.4.0.17833\javaagent.jar

Thanks,

Gurmit.
