Splunk AppDynamics

Java agent is not starting

I am new to AppDynamics, I have my JAVA application running on my Ubuntu server. The way I run my application is:

java -jar app.jar -conf path/conf.json

When I try to add java agent, the application doesn't start:

java -javaagent:appd-agent/javaagent.jar -jar app.jar -conf path/conf.json

After running above command, no logs are displayed and nothing happens.

But when I try the following command:

java -jar app.jar -conf path/conf.json -javaagent:appd-agent/javaagent.jar

My application starts but no reporting is sent to AppDynamics, and in Applications, I only see "No load detected for the time range" 

How do I solve this problem?

java -jar app.jar -conf path/conf.json -javaagent:appd-agent/javaagent.jar

Trying giving the absolute path to the javagent.jar

Also, have you updated your controller-info.xml properly?
