Monitoring Background java Process

I have been trying to configure Java agent with a standalone background java process. The agent reports at the controller and shows memory usage stats but does not give the flowmap/Business Transactions and calls.

Can someone tell me how to deal with this?

Hi

Hi

can you elaborate on how the batch model is setup on your side ?

What framework are you using ? Do you know the class name where the batch is started from ?

Alternatively we can have a look at using the Live Preview feature in AppD to see what the agent detects while a batch is running:

Thanks

Activity is only shown on the flowmap if an entry point is hit.  Since you describe your process as a standalone background process, I think it's very likely that none of the entry points configured out of the box are present.

You will need to configure a custom POJO entry point.
