Splunk AppDynamics

appd java agent size

Hi.

My project is using twistlock and dependency check. Needless to say, we are always updating appd agent dependencies to get past recent vulnerabilities.

I would like to know what folder are not required for the appd javaagent, currently this is almost 300mb. We are bundling this in a docker base image for all out microservices.

Does appd agent really need all these libraries for runtime.
